Chapter 3

Juliet and I relied on each other for strength as our parents passed away when we were young. We took care of each other; she was precious to me, and it would hurt me to see her in any form of pain.

I couldn't believe that I dragged her into the mess due to my poor judgment of character. It was one thing for me to marry Soren, but I shouldn't have introduced Zach to my sister. They wouldn't have gotten married if it weren't for me.

At the end of the day, we gave our all to our husbands. We even went through the challenges of pregnancy, only to be manipulated by Soren and Zach as they vied for Jenna's attention!

Juliet let out a sudden snicker as her sobs grew heavier.

I looked up and saw her raising her phone for me to see. She showed me a photo of a topless Soren with a rope tied around his waist. Jenna rested in his arms as they were lowered to the ground. And Zach, dressed in a police uniform, rushed over to them.

The photo was really dramatic. Caught in the middle of two handsome men, Jenna looked like a frightened princess being saved by her knights in shining armor.

The photo was from the tweet Jenna just posted. She even added a rather suggestive caption, "If I had to choose again, should I pick the firefighter or the cop?"

Comments flooded into her tweet.

"I want to eat my cake and have it too!"

"Oh, just kill me! I could make up an entire Wattpad story just from the caption alone!"

"I need the three of them married right away!"

I flashed a bitter and painful smile when I noticed the rings on Jenna's necklace. Her rings and Soren and Zach's wedding rings were couple rings.

"I thought all four of us shared the exact same rings as a testament to our relationships. But Jules, your ring and mine are the men's style."

"Elsie, that's ridiculous!" Juliet started crying again, her voice trembling in pain.

I struggled to get up and took her phone away. Then, I gently patted her on the back to soothe her, just like I did when we were younger.

"Oh, Jules. Let's forget about this for now. We have to get better, first and foremost. We should put a stop to our losses before it's too late."

I choked a sob as I comforted Juliet. It was so unfair.

Before Juliet and I were married, we were unaware of Jenna's existence. Yet, we had to suffer because of her. She and our husbands had made us the audience to their flirting!

…

"Elsie, just how much do they resent us? They're avoiding us like the plague," Juliet lamented self-deprecatingly.

After a few days of rest, she looked more energetic. However, she soon began to tear up.

I lovingly caressed her hair and said to her, my voice choking up, "Don't you worry. I'll think of a way to get us both out of here. We'll live our lives freely, never dating, never marrying, and never getting pregnant again…"

After some deliberation, I believed that hiring an attorney was the easiest way to handle the issue. Soren and Zach would definitely understand that Juliet and I were serious about the divorce. We were determined to see it through. They wouldn't dismiss it and thought we were just kicking up a fuss.

But the attorney called me to vent. "Ms. Kent, I cannot take on you and your sister's cases! What kind of men did you marry?

"They're basically hooligans who broke the chairs when they heard your names! Gangsters like them shouldn't be working as public servants. I've refunded the attorney fees. I'm sorry I can't help you two!"

With that, the divorce attorney hung up on me.

At the same time, I received a call from Soren, who had unblocked me. "Eliza, can you be normal for once? I blocked you for a good reason. If all women were as jealous as you and Juliet, it would be disastrous!

"How dare you get a divorce attorney to show up at my workplace and Zach's office to make a scene? We're so unlucky to marry you and your sister!"

Once again, he hurled humiliating insults at me. Gritting my teeth, I let out an angry scoff.

That seemed to have set him off. He barked, "What are you laughing at? I will divorce you even when you're pregnant!"
