My mom continued, "If we had known he was this kind of person, we would never have let you marry him! Thank goodness you're divorced now. From now on, it's your own choice if you want to get married again. If you don't want to, your dad and I will take care of you for the rest of your life."I leaned into my mom's embrace and smiled happily.…By the time I was discharged from the hospital, the court had issued its verdict for Gordon. He was sentenced to three years for intentional harm and illegal trespass.This news brought a lot of joy to my family.However, Herman and Mary, along with Michelle and Jenny, came to plead with me. They hoped that I would issue a letter stating my forgiveness so that his sentence could be mitigated.When I refused, they immediately cursed me out.Seeing that I paid them no mind, they knelt on the ground. Then, they started crying and begging pitifully in an attempt to guilt-trip me into doing as they wished."You were married to Gordon for a yea

My husband and I dated and eventually got married out of love.We worked at the same company but in different departments. By chance, we got to know each other because we were assigned to work on the same project.Upon meeting me, my husband, Gordon Baker, fell in love with me at first sight. After that, he went to great lengths to pursue me.I was already 28 and not exactly young anymore. My family had been urging me to get married. They even said that if I didn't bring home a significant other by the New Year, they would start making arrangements for me to go on blind dates with potential suitors.Gordon was tall and well-built. He had a sunny disposition and handsome looks. I'd found it hard to resist his advances. The fact that he was exactly my type earned him extra brownie points too.And so, I agreed to become his girlfriend. We dated for two years, during which we met each other's parents. With both our families urging us and egging us on, we thought it was time to settle

I lifted the blanket slightly and saw the dark circles under his eyes as well as his fatigued appearance. Then, I thought about how he had been so busy preparing for the New Year's festivities these past few days that he barely got enough sleep each night.Besides, it wasn't absolutely necessary to leave in the morning. Based on my estimation, setting off after lunch would still be fine.So, I tucked the blanket around him snugly and left the room quietly.Once I was in the front yard, I called my parents to let them know that Gordon and I would be arriving a bit later. After hanging up the call, I went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.…After lunch, I began urging Gordon to drive me to my parents' house."I've already packed everything. You just need to drive," I said, pulling him toward the car. "It's a long drive. You can drive for a while first. When we reach a rest area, we'll switch. That way, we won't get too tired, and we'll get home sooner. Maybe we'll even make

I went on a tirade. "If you didn't want to spend the New Year at my parents' house from the start, you should've just said so! You agreed, and now you're going back on your word! You're absolutely shameless, Gordon!"My outburst caused Gordon's expression to darken. He turned around and blamed everything on me. "If you hadn't pestered me ceaselessly, do you think I would've done this? I could only agree first and try to talk you out of it after we came home."In all my life, I'd never seen such a selfish person. I couldn't help but retort, "Are you saying that this is all my fault?"When I said this, Gordon had the audacity to nod in agreement. "Well, whose fault could it be? I'm definitely not the one to be blamed, Dakota."I snorted in exasperation. "You're unbelievable! How can you say that so righteously with a straight face? Have you no sense of shame?"As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed Gordon's family coming out of the house. His parents, along with his sisters, came

Those unbelievably malicious words came from Gordon's younger sister, Jenny Baker, who'd said I was the best sister-in-law she could ever ask for.Their words faintly reached my ears, and I instantly understood that the Bakers were nothing but pure evil.A chill ran down my spine. I had walked into a den of wolves in sheep's clothing.I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, trying to stand up and fight back. But to my dismay, my head spun and intensified the dizziness I was feeling. It must have been that first blow that caused this. I was probably suffering from a mild concussion.My head felt heavy and disoriented, making it impossible for me to get up or resist.Instead, I blacked out. Before I completely lost consciousness, I heard the noisy laughter and chatter of the Bakers as they all went back inside the house. And there I was, left in a corner of the front yard like discarded trash.The winter wind cut through me like a knife. The night wind howled as I slowly opened my

I was awakened by the smell of food.When I opened my eyes, my mom was standing by my bed, holding a bowl of my favorite risotto.When my mom saw that I was awake, she quickly placed the risotto on my bedside table and helped me sit up.After a day of being beaten, fighting back, arguing, and rushing around, I looked extremely worn out.Mom stroked my head gently with a pained expression. "Have some risotto and rest a little more, my poor baby."I nodded and took the bowl from her. Then, I began eating quietly.Just as I finished, a loud roar came from the living room downstairs. "Damn him! Damn his ridiculous family!"This was followed by the sound of a palm slamming down on the table forcefully.I put on my clothes hastily and went downstairs with my mom to see what was going on.My family elders, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, were crowded in my living room. My dad, who had the worst temper in the family, had been loudly cursing alongside my uncles for over ten

Gordon went on, "Don't you dare get upset at me. I only hit you a few times. I didn't kill you or cripple you. I just wanted you to feel some pain so you would learn a lesson! How dare you argue with me and resist? If people in our village found out, they'd criticize you for being unruly!"Alright, hurry up and drive yourself back here right now! The whole family is waiting for you to come back and cook!'"With that said, he seemed ready to hang up.My dad took the phone with a raised eyebrow. Then, he said sternly, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that hitting my daughter is for her own good? How about I come over and break your legs for your own good, huh?"What gives you the right to bark at my daughter like that? Who do you think you are? It seems your brain is full of shit!"Whenever my dad spoke, he meant business.Gordon was at a loss for words. His voice trembled as he called out, "Mr. Perez? I… I think Dakota exaggerated a bit when she told you what happened. It

As soon as those words were spoken, my mom instantly lost her cool. She darted past me and snatched the iron rod from Mary. After flinging it away with great force, she grabbed Mary by the collar firmly."How dare you insult my daughter? You even threatened to hit her! I've never even laid a single finger on her, you old hag!"Mom's words were accompanied by Mary's helpless screams. My mom pinned her to the ground and started beating her senseless. Upon seeing his mother getting hit, Gordon gripped his iron bar and waved it around furiously. "Stop it! Stop right now!"Of course, my mom ignored him and focused all her energy on teaching Mary a lesson.Back in her youth, my mom had trained in combat arts. Even though she was older now, her strength and skills were still intact. By the time she was done, Mary's face was swollen and red. Bright red slap marks adorned her cheeks.Mary's state of misery spurred Gordon to rush at my mom to hit her. Upon seeing this, my family couldn't

Without mincing his words, Alister continued, "You committed domestic violence and mistreated her. She divorced you instead of reporting this to the police to have you arrested. You should be thanking your lucky stars! "But look at what you did. You spread rumors and tried to tarnish her reputation at work. I can't have an employee like you working in my company!"After saying that, Alister left with the security guards in tow. Gordon, on the other hand, sat on the floor in a dumbfounded state.I felt nothing but satisfaction seeing him like that. Gordon had come from the countryside and worked his way up to the position of manager. He was talented and hardworking, but so what? With his lack of morals, who would dare employ him?…When the one-month divorce cooling-off period ended, I went to the courthouse with my family to finalize the divorce with Gordon. Holding the freshly issued divorce certificate in my hands, I finally felt a sense of clarity and happiness.I was going

I was happily eating some chips when I saw those messages, and my mood instantly soured. Right away, I put down the chips and started typing furiously on my phone.I texted: "Don't worry. I'll be there tomorrow. Watch me crush that scumbag when I return to the office! I can't believe he'd be this shameless! Thanks for letting me know. I'll treat you to a meal."After replying, I began thinking about how to launch a counterattack at the office the next day.It just so happened that my brother, the newly appointed general manager, had sent out a group message announcing a meeting scheduled for the next afternoon. This was the perfect opportunity to settle the matter.…The next day, I went to the office with my brother.As expected, many people were giving me strange looks. Some were even whispering unpleasant things behind my back. I ignored all of it and stayed in my office. I patiently waited for the meeting that afternoon to take place.The meeting ended an hour earlier than

Gordon's sisters chimed in as well. Michelle spat, "Exactly! Divorced women aren't in demand these days, especially ones who already have children."Jenny agreed disdainfully, "Right! Even if she gets rid of the baby, she'll have to remarry. She'll only be able to marry some old dude who's been single his whole life!"How absolutely disgusting! This was the father-in-law I used to respect and the sisters-in-law I used to care for.The amount of irony I felt at that moment was unreal. Their words were so repulsive that my stomach churned, and I vomited on the spot.My parents hurried over to support me in a panic. My mom patted my back gently while my dad handed me some warm water to ease my discomfort.Upon hearing those words, all my family members got agitated all over again.The men charged at Gordon and Herman. Meanwhile, the women pinned down Mary, Michelle, and Jenny in a flash. They started beating them up again.The scene descended into chaos once more. Richard was f
