Chapter 3

Author: Mr. Prosperity
Hadden ended his meeting early when he received the call and rushed home.

He dashed to the pool and cradled Julia, who was still choking on pool water, in his arms.

"Julia, Julia! Stay with me! Come on! Julia, please. I need you…"

I remembered thinking how ridiculous it was as I watched the scene from above.

I was thinking to myself if it was really necessary. Julia could swim, so why was Hadden acting like she was going to die?

It was only when Hadden dragged me to the pool by my hair that I realized how much he truly cared for Julia.

"How could you be so cruel?! How could you push Julia into the water?! You almost killed her! I almost lost her because of you!

"I won't let you get away with doing whatever crap you want to do, Felicia. I'll make you suffer twice the pain and fear you put Julia through. And I won't let you out until you learn what you did wrong!"

Even now, Hadden still believed that I was the one at fault, that I should have admitted to everything he accused me of.

What a shame, then. It was too late for that now.

"Mr. Rowse, w-we can't find any signs of life in Ms. Lowe… She's… dead…"

Hadden's hand froze mid-air as he tried to coax Julia into drinking a yogurt drink.

I searched his face for any signs of regret, maybe even fear, but I found nothing. Instead, Hadden smirked as he continued to feed Julia.

"As if she would die so easily. If that were the case, I would've gotten rid of her long ago. Tell her to stop pretending, or I'll have the funeral parlor cremate her."

His assistant seemed to want to say more, but Hadden interrupted with an annoyed look, "She has half an hour to clean herself up and apologize to Julia, or she's going back into the pool."

His assistant looked frantic, but he did not know how to breach the subject.

Looking at his hesitance, Hadden grabbed the vase from the table and threw it at his assistant.

"What are you waiting for?! Go and tell her what I said!"

His assistant had no choice but to leave.

Hadden turned back to Julia and kissed away the yogurt stain at the corner of her mouth. She smiled shyly, which earned her a pleased smile and a warm hug from Hadden.

"You'd better not go easy on her later, Julia. I swear I'll have her kneel when she apologizes to you later. She'll just do it again if she doesn't learn her lesson now."

Julia looked conflicted, almost as if she felt bad. "Are you sure that's a good idea, Hadden?"

"Why not?"

I did not know how to react to that, so I started laughing maniacally.

This was the man I loved?

I wanted to leave, but it seemed like I was bound to him.

I had no choice but to watch and laugh at how stupid I had been.

  • I Drowned to Death Because My Husband’s Sister Choked on Pool Water   Chapter 10

    When we arrived at the police station, I tried to follow them inside. Somehow, I could not pass through the doors no matter how many times I tried. I had no choice but to wait outside the doors, hoping that someone would discuss any updates in my vicinity, but it was all too vague.I managed to conclude that Hadden had admitted his crime and was going to prison, but no one said how long he would be there.Julia was not completely innocent either. A police investigation found her guilty of tax evasion. They were both going to prison.I continued to wait outside the police station for days until it was the day of their trial. I followed the police car to court, and that was when I saw the two of them again, sullen and lifeless.They were staring out the window with a look of yearning.When we arrived at the courthouse, I tried to pass through those doors again. I failed, unsurprisingly, but after numerous attempts, I somehow managed to pass through them.I quickly made my way t

    Julia quickly got up from Hadden's body with a yelp and wrapped herself in the discarded clothes around. Hadden also snapped to reality and stood up to straighten his clothes, only to realize that the policemen were ignoring him and making their way to the pool.Likely remembering how he had left my body in the pool, Hadden quickly went to stop the police."Even if you're the police, you have no right to just barge into my house! Which precinct are you from? I'm going to lodge a complaint against you." The policeman he approached said nothing, and another policeman, likely the director, walked over."Mr. Hadden Rowse, correct? My name is Gerard Annable. We've received a call accusing you of the murder of your wife, Felicia Lowe. The informant also claimed that her body was still in your pool. We've come to confirm if the information we received is true."Hadden's knees buckled. He grabbed onto the couch beside him and forced a smile."You must be mistaken, officers. My wife pu

    Sparks landed on the stage and on the audience, but none landed on me. Underneath the stage, I watched as Hadden gently wrapped Julia in his arms and slowly walked her to the limo. The engine started, and he tightened his hold on her."Thank you, Julia, for always being by my side."Julia smiled happily and hugged him back. Then, she turned her head to peck the tip of his ear."If you'll have me, Hadden, I'll always be by your side."…A long time passed after the concert before it crossed Hadden's mind to continue looking for me again.He spent a lot of manpower and resources to look for me, even going as far as to spread the word to all his employees that anyone who found me or found leads on me would receive a cash reward. Anyone who managed to bring me to him would receive a house in the city center.It was ridiculous, considering I was right here. I made my way to stand behind Hadden and huffed a breath at his neck. It was starting to get frustrating how invisible I was

    "And? Who cares if you die? It's only fair after what you did to Julia! Your parents are dead anyway. So, if you die, you'll get to reunite with them. You should be thanking me instead."The more I struggled and fought back, the harsher Hadden tossed me around and the colder his glare."You pushed Julia into the pool. So now, I'm pushing you into the pool. An eye for an eye."I refused, so he broke my wrist and kicked my abdomen. Then, he tossed me into the pool."Die, you horrible woman!" I did not remember my last moments, but I figured I felt regretful. I should not have agreed to marry Hadden, and I should not have allowed myself to believe that I could make him fall in love with me. He was right about one thing, though. I was dead. I should be reunited with my parents.Yet, I did not see them anywhere.The next few days passed similarly, and Hadden had yet to find any leads on my whereabouts.However, he was also busy with Julia's concert—pre-ordering flowers, hiring ba

    Hadden was insistent that I had escaped. He even went through the surveillance footage at the pool to prove himself right.Through the footage, he watched me struggle for my life after I was thrown into the pool… until I stopped moving.Despite this, Hadden still refused to believe that I was dead. Aggressively, he punched the monitor, cracking it."No! I don't believe this!" he yelled, pointing at the footage. "The cameras are frozen! Felicia must've tampered with them. I knew it, that bitch!"Hadden grabbed his laptop and threw it onto the ground.Seeing the laptop break into pieces must not have been enough to vent his anger because he proceeded to grab the cup beside him and throw it at the broken laptop.It took him a while to remember where he was. He turned to look at Julia, who seemed afraid by his outburst, and immediately apologized."Oh, Julia, I'm sorry. It's alright, I'm not angry at you. It's her I'm pissed at. How could she be so irresponsible? She hurt you! And i

    After a while, Hadden seemed to have thought of something. He kicked the cover and shouted at his assistant, "You! You were the one who put this mannequin in here, weren't you? You helped Felicia escape!"His assistant was pretty much vomiting bile at this point, but ignoring Hadden was not an option."I didn't, Mr. Rowse! This has nothing to do with me. I'm pretty sure… that's Ms. Lowe's body…" His words came out in fragments as he continued to throw up.Hadden did not look pleased with his assistant's response and glared at the pool with contempt. Disbelief laced the words he said next."It's fake! This body has to be fake! I know she put that in there because she doesn't want to admit that she did something wrong. I knew she wasn't going to apologize so easily. Just wait! Once I get my hands on her, I'll make her apologize to Julia!"It was hilarious how delusional he was being. Laughing, I even did a twirl in front of him."I'm right in front of you, Hadden. Can't you see?
