Forsaken Bonds Chapter 7
As expected, Ryan's arrogant attitude quickly shifted to desperation."Mr. Smith, Nicky and I are truly in love. The baby she's carrying is innocent. I'm begging you, please let us be."I picked up the coffee in front of me and splashed it on him without hesitation. Since he wanted to put on a show, I gladly helped him out.Ryan yelped in pain.At that moment, someone rushed in from the entrance and shielded him protectively."Ryan, are you okay?"Ryan pulled Nicky into his arms. "Nicky, Jensen says I'm the other man. He also said that the baby is illegitimate and that he's going to make you get rid of it. I was worried about you."I watched quietly.When Nicky's gaze shifted toward me, I cut her off. "Nicky, is this how you show me your sincerity?"She replied meekly, "Jensen, I already lost Tara. I don't want to lose this baby too.""So? What are you planning to do?"Thinking there was a chance to reconcile, Nicky softened. "Jensen, you're still the most important man to m

Nicky sat slumped by Tara's grave, looking thin and worn down. Her dull eyes suddenly lit up when she saw me.She stumbled to her feet and threw her arms around me. "Where have you been, Jensen? I couldn't find you anywhere."I pushed her away and reminded her, "We're divorced, Nicky."Nicky grabbed my hand, her eyes full of desperation. "Jensen, let's get back together. Please? I finally realize you're the one who truly loves me."I knew what had happened.Nicky's business collapsed after I leaked her company's dirty secrets to her rival. Her properties and cars were seized.Ryan barely lasted a month as her husband before they found themselves drowning in debt. He secretly gave her medicine to terminate the pregnancy.Nicky confronted Ryan right after the surgery, who admitted that he only married her for her money.She was devastated, so she came to me for comfort.I shook her hand off. "Nicky, I'm not in the habit of picking up trash."Nicky dropped to her knees in front
Forsaken Bonds Chapter 1
Three days after Tara Smith passed away, Nicky West called me."Do you admit your mistake, Jensen Smith?"I held Tara's ashes, feeling numb with grief, and mumbled, "Yes. I was wrong, incredibly wrong."If I had not insisted on marrying Nicky, Tara would not have been born, and she would not have suffered so much from the start.Since Tara was born, Nicky had only focused on her career and ignored her. I was the one who took care of Tara.When Tara was barely a year old, she was diagnosed with a rare disease. From that point on, the hospital became our second home.After five years of treatment, we finally saw a glimmer of hope.Suddenly, just because I refused to accept her childhood best guy friend's mocking toast, she stopped Tara's treatment and demanded I kneel and apologize to him.It was absurd.Her daughter's life mattered less to her than a glass of wine.As I admitted my fault, Nicky's voice turned smug. "We have a reservation at Moonlight Hotel tonight. Come apolog
Forsaken Bonds Chapter 2
Ryan's words were provoking. He spoke as if I were some stand-in who only got in because he was not around. I refused his toast and turned to leave.Nicky exploded and accused me of being rude. She even demanded I kneel and apologize to Ryan, or she would stop Tara's treatment.I initially thought she was bluffing. Tara was her daughter, after all. She knew how serious her illness was. However, she was not bluffing.I called her countless times, went to her office, and even looked for her at Ryan's place, but she was nowhere to be found.I could only watch as Tara died in my arms.The thought filled me with a burning hatred.I decided to face their provocation head-on."Moonlight Hotel, right? I'll be there at eight at night sharp."Nicky sounded pleased. "That's more like it. If you'd just—" I hung up before she could say another word.I gently brushed my hand over Tara's urn."Tara, Dad will avenge you. I'll ruin them."With everything prepared, I arrived at Moonligh

Nicky hated Ryan to the core back then, swearing to get her revenge. However, after his return, she cast all that hatred aside and was tangled up with him again less than a year later.Nicky furiously snapped, "Jensen, you're here to apologize to Ryan! Ryan had his reasons for going abroad back then, so don't you dredge up the past!"Ryan wrapped his arm around Nicky's shoulders and said smugly, "Don't play the victim, Jensen. If I hadn't left back then, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry Nicky.""I'm sorry to disappoint you, then. I'm giving the trash back to you today," I replied with a laugh. Nicky's face twisted in anger as I mentioned her as trash."Jensen, what are you saying?""It is what it is."I turned to Ryan with a glass of wine and continued, "You want an apology? Here you go."Ryan looked thrilled, thinking that he won. He figured that I, Nicky's husband, was finally bowing down to him.In the next second, I threw the wine straight in his face.Ryan let

The assistant hesitantly replied, "I assumed Mr. Smith would've told you." He was reluctant to bring up such a tragic matter, knowing it would only rouse Nicky's anger.After a long silence, Nicky finally looked at me and questioned, "Why didn't you tell me something happened to our daughter? I didn't even get to see Tara one last time!"I slapped her hard and yelled, "You're the one who stopped Tara's treatment. You killed her!"Nicky stumbled back and looked at me in shock. "That's impossible. The doctors said her condition was stable. I only paused the treatment for one day. How could she have died—"Suddenly, it seemed as if something clicked in her mind, and she looked at me suspiciously."You and my assistant must've set this up, right?"I slapped her again."Who do you think you are? Do you think I'd use my daughter's life to deceive you? Tara couldn't go a day without her medication and the breathing machine. The night you halted her treatment, she spiked a high fever
