Beneath the Landslide Chapter 7
After this recording was exposed, Kipper Group's stock price plummeted. Under pressure, Leah's father pushed Leah out to take the blame, claiming that everything was orchestrated by her and had nothing to do with Kipper Group, including the false accusations against my designs.Unfortunately for them, the public was not buying their explanation. Since the whole family had toyed with the public, there was no way the public would bite.So, Kipper Group, the company that Ethan had been with for many years, collapsed.Leah not only went bankrupt but was also exposed for her indecent private life. Leah's father, who had hoped to make a comeback by marrying off his daughter, was left in tears.As for Ethan, I thought I would never see him again, but one of his brothers delivered a stack of medical reports to me. They were all about Ethan's health. The top line read, 'stomach cancer'.Ethan fell ill, collapsing straight into a hospital bed. I would have believed it if someone told me he
Beneath the Landslide Chapter 1
After six days, I was rescued. As I lay on the hospital bed, the sound of dogs barking and voices calling out to me echoed in my ear.Also… I could almost hear the sound of a girl's breathless and sultry voice in Ethan's last phone call.I must have misheard that.After all, before we got married, Ethan repeatedly swore his loyalty to me, even taking a few oaths. How could he ever cheat on me?Thinking about the anniversary we missed, I asked the young man who had helped rescue me to buy me a phone.I logged into my messaging app.I should let Ethan know I was safe. Maybe I should apologize for being late to our fifth wedding anniversary.As soon as I opened the application, a flood of congratulations popped up, and I froze for a moment.Confused, I asked my best friend what was going on, only to learn that Ethan had just been promoted and was planning to treat everyone to dinner.I opened my social media app, and the first post I saw was from Ethan.[A gem cannot be polished
Beneath the Landslide Chapter 2
Every day at the hospital, besides eating and drinking, I would chat with the young firefighter. I found out that my savior was from the same hometown as me and shared an interest in painting, giving us endless things to talk about.Every day in the hospital was joyful for me.That was, of course, until a call came in one night."Emma White, where are you? How are you still not back yet?"Ethan's voice was accusatory right from the start. Well, that killed my good mood."I told you, Ethan, when you get a chance, let's finalize the divorce."There was a moment of silence on the other end before he spoke, annoyed."Alright, alright. Divorce, divorce—aren't you tired of talking about that all the time? Just because I didn't visit you in the hospital? Fine, tell me which hospital, and I'll drop by when I have time."I had posted a photo on my social media showing me in the hospital with the caption, [I've been reborn… This time, I'll take back what's mine.]Ethan did not care that

"Are you crazy, Ethan? What 'explanation'? I told you we're getting a divorce! Let go! You're hurting me!"I struggled against his hold, but his grip only tightened, leaving red marks on my arm as he refused to let go."Hey man, calm down. If you keep pulling like that, you're going to dislocate her arm.""It's okay, Alex, I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow."Alex tried to pull Ethan away, but for some reason, Ethan snapped. He kicked Alex aside and yanked my hair violently.Smack!"You shameless woman! 'Alex'? You're calling his name so sweetly, huh? So, you really did cheat on me?!"And you. What's wrong with you, man? You're so desperate you'll take anyone? Even her? Look at that face and that body. Ugh! Have you never seen a woman before? Want me to introduce you to a few others?"I held my face in disbelief as Ethan insulted me like I was worthless. So this was how he genuinely saw me? His violent, vicious demeanor was a far cry from the boy he used to be. It felt like I was

Leah definitely fell on purpose. It was obvious that I was going to be framed for something I did not do!It was not until Leah was rushed into surgery that Ethan arrived in a hurry. His first words were not even to ask what had happened. Instead, he went straight to accusing me."You're vicious, Emma."You got it all wrong about Leah and me. No matter how jealous you are, you shouldn't have done something like this! Don't you realize you're only hurting yourself?"All the fear I had felt earlier evaporated the moment I saw Ethan. Instead, I was just angry."Are you an idiot?" I snapped back without hesitation. When the doctor asked who was a family member, Ethan stepped forward, only to awkwardly freeze.Because we were not divorced yet, he was not qualified to sign anything.In the end, Leah's father arrived to sign the papers. Watching Ethan get scolded like a child by Leah's father, I closed my eyes, unable to bear the sight. This definitely was not the Ethan I used to know.

"No way! They've been married for years, and you're calling her a mistress? Who's the real third party here?""He worked the same job for years with no promotion, but right after the public announcement with Leah, he got promoted. Think about it carefully.""So, men can also have 'backdoors' to climb up the corporate ladder or something?""Wait, what's true at this point? I'm so confused with all this gossip."Because of this, Kipper Group found itself in the middle of a public opinion storm.With the crisis temporarily resolved, I blocked the clients who were the first to cancel their contracts with me. If they did not trust me enough, there was no point in discussing further cooperation.Being the victim of a cheating husband brought me a wave of online sympathy, and I got so many new orders that I was overrun with work. I could not stop smiling."Hey, Alex, guess what? I just landed another huge contract today!""Yeah, I know," Alex responded.As I was sharing my excitement

Alex was a firefighter with a great physique and good looks. However, I just got out of a marriage. I was only focused on my career and had no interest in getting caught up in romance again.Alex said nothing. He just stared at me with deep, intense eyes. The tension in the air grew thick.Suddenly, the phone rang, and I sighed in relief."Emma, can you come over? Ethan's drunk, and he keeps calling your name.""He's drunk? And what does that have to do with me?""Don't be so heartless, Emma! Listen, he's been calling for you this whole time!"I could hear Ethan's emotional voice on the other end of the line, the kind that could make anyone cry. Well, anyone but me.After all, the old me was long gone. I had become the unshakable Emma White.I hung up the phone. Alex was half-hidden in the shadows, and I could not see his expression.Steeling myself, I said, "Alex, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you. I'm not looking to get married again or be tied down, you understan
