Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 27: Help me
Summer’s Point of View*Splash*“Shit! Ah!”As I felt the splash of the water after Hailey pushed me into the pool, I couldn't help but scream out in surprise. The cold was so intense that it felt like I could freeze to death in an instant. It was winter, so expect the so much coldness.I tried to swim, but the pool water felt like a viscous liquid, and it seemed to wrap around my body. I could feel my pulse quickening as I stepped further and further away from safety, feeling that death was imminent.“My goodness, Summer! Why did you jump into the pool? Is this your way of getting the sympathy of everyone here?”Hailey's words were becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend. I was too busy focusing on my survival to catch all of what she had said.I tried to float, but I couldn't muster the buoyancy to stay afloat. As I struggled to keep my head above the surface of the water, and the more I fought, the more I felt like I was drowning. I could not touch the bottom of the pool, so d
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 28: The call
Amby’s Point of ViewI glanced over at my manager, who was animatedly discussing something with the production team. I could see she was still in a panic. Her eyes couldn’t calm and darting around as if she were trying to determine if I was safe since I was sitting on the ground.Steven stepped onto the set and was met by the frenzied voices of the cast and the chaos of the scene. He walked over to me and I could feel his gaze running over me. “What happened to you? What’s going on?” I opened my mouth, ready to tell him I was okay, when my manager came barreling towards him. Her eyes bulged, and I could feel her desire to be my rescuer. “Mister Carter, please help Hailey!”“What?” Steven plainly asked.“Did you see that woman? It's Georgie Muller!” Georgie was looking at the production crew when my manager pointed her finger in her direction. “She’s an actress. She’s the one who kept causing trouble for Amby whenever they are filming.”"Maggie, let's not make this into a huge drama,"
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 29: I should've fought for you
Summer’s Point of ViewI had a dream — a dream that left me feeling uncertain if it was a pleasant or a frightening experience. But all I was aware of was the blissful feeling that coursed through me when Steven was with me in my dream.“Summer, you don’t know what you're getting yourself into. You'd be wise not to have second thoughts about marrying me, because once the vows are said, there'll be no escape from me.”The pressure of his grip on my waist was comforting, and his eyes were so dark and mesmerizing I felt like I was being pulled in. His voice was low and even, yet each of his sentences was spoken with conviction.I slapped his chest and gave him a small shove, but I still found the nerve to search his eyes, which were overflowing with unknownness. How could the Almighty create a perfect man whose personality was so haughty and daunting it seemed almost divine?My face broke into a smile at what he declared, and then I pulled him close and brushed my lips against his.Our l
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 30: Let her go
Summer’s Point of ViewMy heart thrashed. However, even if I wanted to concentrate on him, I couldn't because a single slight shift of my head would make me see stars.The sound of his name brought a wave of nostalgia that I couldn’t recall, yet not surprise that he was also part of my past. To be honest, it was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between friend and foe now. Given that I had wronged many people in the past, I often encounter them these days.Today, something happened that differed totally from the norm, as there was someone who didn't express anger towards me. It was surprised to see he was glad to see me and showed genuine concern.“I shouldn’t let him destroy you like this…”“…” I remained quiet. Unfortunately, I was not in a healthy enough state to process any new information linked to my past.The realization that I wasn't prepared to deal with what he was saying seemed to dawn on him, so he quickly shifted the conversation to something else. “Summer, ho
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 31: I don’t like this feeling
Steven’s Point of ViewAs I went past Harvey, I made my way into the room he had just been in and didn’t spare any glance toward him again. He might have assumed I was on my way to see Summer, since her room was just a few steps away from Amby's.The moment I set foot in the room, the deafening sound of silence filled the air. The only noises that could be heard in the room were the hum of the air conditioning and the ticking of the clock.As soon as I stride, it was apparent that she had a strong sense of security when she struggled to open her eyes and did her best to look in my direction.Moving closer to her, I towered over her, taking in her delicate and unblemished face.Her beauty is so cunning and sly that it has the power to deceive any individual. Who can resist the temptation of a woman who is pretending to be a goddess yet is truly a wicked individual underneath?With a flutter of her eyelashes, she finally opened her eyes. The paleness of her skin did not detract from her
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 32: I'm married
Summer’s Point of ViewI was pressing my fingers into my chest, feeling the ache, when the door opened. Had I thought it was Steven, I would have pretended to be asleep, but I heard Harvey’s and the Doctor’s voices.I set my phone back on the sidetable and paid attention to the two individuals. Harvey nod at me as the doctor started asking question. “Good morning, Missus Carter. How is your feeling now?”“I’m a little better now. Although my body is still in quite dire,” I answered hoarsely.As he did another checkup, he scribbled notes on the paper in his hand. After a few minutes of examination, he concluded, “Missus Carter, you were pushed to your limits this time. Your body is still feeling weak, so you need to recuperate with some rest. You must be more cautious with your health this time after you recently underwent a car accident and then almost drowned.”I sighed and laid my head on the pillow. To be honest, I couldn’t recall the last time I closed my eyes without feeling the
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 33: Get out
Summer’s Point of ViewShe grinned at me; her nails pricking my skin as her hand rose to deliver a slap to my cheek. Despite being in a weakened condition, I could read her movements and was able to force her back, successfully blocking her attempt to hit me.As a result, she fell to the floor, eyes wide in surprise, while I felt the world around me become a blur. Fortunately, the solid metal of the hospital bed's railing provided support for my arm. I had assumed Hailey had finished her assault on me. However, I was mistaken when I saw her stand up again.“See? Is that the action of the person who is not feeling well? Where do you get your strength from?!” she shouted.Before I knew it, she had stepped in front of me, wanting to hit me again, but before she could, I prevented her wrist.The moment my hand grasped hers, I could feel the warmth of my fever radiating from my body. Shit! Could the villains in my life pause their destruction and let me regain my footing? Why are they so e
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 34: Will that make you all happy?
Summer's Point of ViewA wave of anger was surging through me, and I could feel my muscles quaking with it. I was so exhausted that the fever was taking over my body, radiating a dull, painful ache. In contrast to what I had ordered, none of them budged, and Hailey directed her attention to me with a triumphant grin. Since neither Steven nor Amby had witnessed that cunning smile, they were not suspicious of her — oh; it was not they would believe me either.“Did your tongue's logic wither away? Without a single reasonable argument, you are forcing us to leave now?” She took two steps towards me and because she was wearing heels, she already towered over me. She seemed to judge me as she raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms across her chest. “You were so daring earlier, weren't you? Where did your courage go? Where is the eloquent Summer Ramey, whose words flow so gracefully?”I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, feeling the air rush past my lips as I exhaled. My knuckles turne
