Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 8: Punishment
Summer’s Point of ViewThe room seemed to shrink around me, and the air was filled with tension, depriving me of breath. The noise was so chaotic, compounded by my anger at Hailey and my pity for Celine. It was because of me she found herself in this situation, and I had no way of giving her any sort of aid.A wave of exhaustion was washing over me, and I felt my eyes beginning to close of their own accord as I estimated that my body would soon collapse. Unexpectedly, Hailey’s face was once again visible in the wave of people.“Her! That woman tried to kill Jay Brown! Perhaps she found out that Jay is from a rich family, so she tried to seduce him and when she failed, she attempted to kill him—”“You liar! You have no evidence that she did that! Celine will never do that!” Desperately trying to catch my breath, I shouted out to Hailey.Even though I was feeling weaker and the darkness in my vision was encroaching, this was not the time to focus on my own needs. Celine was there when n
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 9: She is innocent
Summer’s Point of ViewSteven went ahead while I assisted Celine in cleaning her face. As the crowd dispersed, I caught Hailey's quietness. I simply stayed away from her and did not argue any further because it was often said that there was no use in trying to persuade someone with a very unyielding mindset.I quietly returned to the dressing room with Celine. I gestured for her to sit on the bed and implored her to remain in that position and not to leave. “Hang on just a little longer, and I promise I will do everything.”The trauma of the incident still seemed to be present as she remained silent and could not break her gaze from the floor. As I did not want to be too pushy, I left the room and went to the other room where Steven was.As soon as I entered the room, the icy blast of the air conditioner greeted me. Despite how freezing it was in the room, I still felt like I was being scalded every time Steven's gaze fell upon me. It turned out that his dispute with my outfit was not
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 10: You're selfish
Summer’s Point of ViewAs we stepped into the Senior’s room, I could sense an unmistakable apprehension in the mood. Earlier when I greeted him, he tried to contain his temper, but now his loathing was evident in me because of the turmoil I created at his birthday celebration. Even though I couldn't stand Steven, I still feel the need to use him as a shield.“Summer Ramey! From then until now, you have been hindering my family from living in peace! Don't you find it exhausting to feel the shame of your past actions, and now bothering about offending one of our business partners?” The loud and distinct voice of the Senior reverberated off the walls of the room.“No, grandpa. That is not—”“What could my family have possibly done to make you act this way?!” He rumbled again. “You—ack… ack... ack!”As the Senior was in the middle of expressing himself, he suddenly touched his chest, and started coughing one after the other, and the intensity of his anger had left him gasping for air and
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 11: I'm Missus Carter
Summer’s Point of ViewThe next day, I went to the police station where Celine had been taken into custody. I had been meaning to do this the evening before, however; I had no one to turn to for help in locating where she had been detained. It was a stroke of luck that the news of her whereabouts spread quickly like a wildfire on the internet, and I was able to discover her location.But when I got there, I was confronted with the bitter smell of disappointment.“We’re sorry. She can’t bail out, Missus Carter.”“What? It was merely a self-defense…” I was baffled, but not shocked that such a thing could occur because Celine and I had offended a powerful family. Yet I still tried to explain my case to the police, though I knew they wouldn't be able to help.“But there is no evidence to say that what Miss Celine did was self-defense. If there is something to prove it or even a small piece of evidence, we will definitely investigate the case thoroughly,” the man said solemnly. And as he c
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 12: Waiting for him
Summer's Point of View The two women eyed me skeptically, their eyebrows raised in disbelief. They looked at each other as the corner of their mouths twitching with the effort of suppressing laughter, until the first woman spoke, "Mister Carter ordered us not to let anyone into his office. If you're indeed the renowned Missus Carter, shouldn't you have phoned ahead so he could give us permission to grant you access?" "Miss, I don't have time—" I was interrupted as she grabbed the book list, her voice ringing out, "If you can be patient, I'll check if you're on the list of his appointments so I can inform him and he can wave you in." I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, trying to keep my patience. I was convincing myself that the reason they didn't know me was because they weren't part of the elite circle, like the people who knew me. But on second thought... didn't Steven even introduce me as his wife to his employees? "Miss... I can't find your name." The woman closed the bo
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 13: Don't divorce me
Summer’s Point of ViewEven though I haven't completely come back from my reverie, I hurry to stand up as if I will to stumble. I quickly grabbed my bag and ran towards him without him noticing, since he had his back turned towards me.He was about to get into the driver's seat when I shouted, “Steven! Wait, please!”Thankfully, he halted in his tracks, his eyebrows meeting as he turned to me with a solemn expression and asked, “It's already late. Why are you still here? And why did you come here in the first place?”I adjusted the bag on my shoulder and gripped it before I gave him an answer. “It's about Celine—”“You aren't expecting me to help you with that, aren't you? Because I won't.” He turned around and was about to get into the car again, but I grabbed his wrist and gave him a pleading expression.Nonetheless, it must be true that his heart was harder than stone because he just looked down at my hand that was clutching his wrist and said with a coldness that froze my heart, “
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 14: Threat
Summer’s Point of View He remained in the same spot for one minute before he abruptly slammed the car door and marched towards me. I held my ground, staying in my spot and never letting my fear take away the bravery my eyes expressed. “You claim you forgot your memories, but it implies the opposite,” he coldly spat. “You have not changed in any way—still the same person you have always been. Exactly the same individual who has threatened others close to her in the past to achieve what she wants. With your past memories or not, you’re still the same… The Summer Ramey that is so brutal, cruel, and merciless.” With each word he uttered, he had such a cutting edge to his voice that I felt my throat closing and I couldn't bring myself to speak up in response. I couldn't bear to look at him, so I averted my eyes, knowing I couldn’t undo the damage his words had caused. His accusation of heartless made me feel numb, regardless of my past or present self. Wasn't he also someone who could
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 15: Fake Missus Carter
Summer’s Point of ViewI plopped down on the bench at the police station and swiped away the drop of sweat that had trickled down my face. Although I was feeling dizzy because of the heat, I had no other choice except to pray that if they noticed my dedication, they would give me authorization to bail Celine or at least let me see her.I wanted her to feel the comfort in knowing that no matter how sad her days may feel, I would always be there for her. I wished I could at least see her to cheer her up.Steven and I hadn't talked since our last conversation, so there was no way for me to expect anything from him. It had been a week and every time I called him; he hung up on me before I could even hear the ring. I had attempted to visit him at the Carter Group multiple times, but the front desk would always tell me he had already gone.Watching the people come and go at the station distracted me from the fact that I had to make a third trip to the hospital. I was hoping to have a conver
