I'm discovered by a man who's gone fishing early in the morning. I'm caught on his hook, but he can't pull me up, no matter how hard he tugs. He comes closer to see me floating in the water and is terrified. He runs off to call the police, leaving his fishing pole behind. When the police get me out of the water, I'm hanging on by a thread. Even the doctors who participate in my rescue think they can't save me. When they call my husband and tell him to come sign some forms, he tells me he doesn't have time for that. He's busy making a hot drink for his true love, who has a cold. Later, he bawls his eyes out and begs me to spare him another glance.
View MoreIrvin's gentle and appeasing expression darkened after hearing that. "Why bother asking something you already know, Emilia?"What?What was it that I was supposed to know? Why would I ask him if I knew?Did he not understand that he was very irritating, and I didn't want to talk to him at all?I fought hard against the urge to strangle him. "Irvin, I know you won't believe me, but I should tell you that I lost some memories after the fall."Irvin scoffed. "Oh, playing the amnesia card now, are we? What, you remember everything but that one specific piece of information?"I wanted to tell him that I had forgotten everything about us and our past. I only knew about our relationship from investigating and reading my diaries. However, going by his expression, he clearly wouldn't believe anything I said.I lost all desire to continue the conversation."Fine. Even if it is true that you can never be with Julianne and that there's nothing between you, I still want a divorce!"I don't
"I don't mind you painting me as some kind of demon in front of Irvin at the cost of your own health," I continued, "but don't try and harm me physically again, like pushing me into a pond or something. Otherwise, I'll publicize this video and make sure you never recover from the damage!"I wanted Julianne to help me end my marriage quickly, but I didn't want her to end me. My body was far too delicate for that. I didn't want to be harmed because of this marriage or anything else.With that, I left without waiting for an answer, leaving Julianne looking gloomy behind me.When I got home, I took a shower and was just about to go to bed for a nap when I found Irvin in my living room.I frowned. "How did you get in?"I'd changed my passcode. How did he get in?If he'd cracked the code, it should've taken more time, especially since I'd changed the passcode to something that was completely unrelated to any of my previous ones."You must be hungry. Come on, I brought you your favorit
Simone, enraged, began cursing me out. "Emilia, you cruel bitch! Have you lost your mind? You're downright evil! You know full well that Irvin can never be with Lianne. How could you say that? I can't believe how vicious you are. You should've died in that fall!"I was flabbergasted.How was I the evil one here? I thought I was being kind, bringing these tragic lovebirds together!Besides, why couldn't Julianne be with Irvin? They almost kissed in that private room, and Julianne had always said that Irvin loved her the most.If he loved her the most, why couldn't they be together?And if they couldn't be together, why did she keep getting in the way of our marriage?Most importantly, Irvin treated Julianne incredibly well. They weren't formally in a relationship, but they had already done everything couples were supposed to do. How could they not be together?I was just about to ask when the police knocked on the door and entered.In order to force my hand, Julianne had really
Irvin's expression changed suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He just gave me a look of helpless indulgence, like he was looking at a toddler throwing a tantrum.It disgusted me to no end.Once everyone had left, Julianne immediately extended her hand toward me. "Let me see."She wanted to confirm whether I had actually recorded anything.Graciously, I played the recording from last night to her. Julianne wouldn't have let me off so easily after I humiliated her at the birthday celebration and ruined her reputation. Knowing that, I had retreated to a secluded corner, both to take a break and to wait for her to come and find me.I just hadn't expected her to act so ruthlessly in public.I'd almost died.The recording played the entire incident, from the moment Julianne came to me to talk until she pushed me into the pond and fell in herself. Her expression was grim. If I released this video, it wouldn't just expose her true natu
Just as the atmosphere turned tense, Simone walked in. Julianne looked up and gave her a look.Simone understood what she wanted immediately. Loudly, she said, "Don't be afraid, Lianne! I've called the police! They'll be here to arrest this vile woman who tried to kill you!"Irvin frowned, his face darkening. "What are you talking about, Simone? Who told you to call the police? Besides, I don't want to hear you insulting Emilia again!"Irvin was weird. Most of the time, he treated me poorly, but there were times when he displayed surprising concern toward me."She almost killed Lianne. Why are you still defending her?" Simone demanded, pointing at me. "I saw her push Lianne into the pond with my own eyes. She said Lianne should die! An evil woman like her needs to face justice!""What the hell are you talking about?" Irvin snapped.At the same time, Julianne looked at me smugly. She was threatening to send me to prison for real if I didn't give her any shares.Even if Irvin defe
Now, the shares were the first thing that Dad thought of. He was so eager to get that 10% share for Julianne.It was as if the 10%, which was worth billions, were nothing more than 10 dollars that he could take from me effortlessly.I didn't know when I gave them the idea that my money was free for them to take.Even though Julianne's expression remained unchanged, I saw her clutching her blanket with barely concealed excitement.I'd thought that she had pushed me into the pond in the spur of the moment, driven by her anger. It seemed like I had been too naive.If this was premeditated, that meant that she would've found another way to lure me to the pond one way or another if I hadn't gone near it yesterday. She might even orchestrate something else to make it look like I had harmed her, and then use the opportunity to make my parents force me to give the shares to her.She was the one who wanted me dead, but she managed to make it look like it was the other way round.This w
I looked at my parents innocently. "I'm just saying that Julianne looks healthy. What, I can't do that now?"My parents were livid. "Millicent, when did you become like this?" Mom scolded. "Your sister's always been nice to you. She was even trying to stop us from calling the police on you. "But not only did you not appreciate her kindness, you even mocked her! Do you have any conscience left? Why do you always treat Lianne like this?"She was so angry that she put down the bowl to slap me. "First, you got Lianne kidnapped and refused to apologize. You even told her to kill herself, causing her to end up in the hospital. "Then, at your grandmother's birthday celebration, you humiliated her and pushed her into the pond. Don't you feel at all guilty after doing so many vicious things? Milicent—"Before Mom could continue her tirade, Dad cut her off. "There's no use talking to her. Call the police and get her arrested. She's beyond saving. Let the police discipline her for us! Sh
I tried to shake him off, but his grip was tight. I didn't dare to struggle too hard, so I looked at him coldly. "Let me go. I'm not going to apologize."Irvin frowned. "Would you rather go to jail instead?"He'd thought that it was just an accident; he only found out that I had supposedly pushed Julianne into the pond because of Simone's shouting earlier."Did you know that you almost killed Lianne?" he demanded. "I've already told you that I won't have anything to do with Lianne anymore. Why did you still go after her and push her into the pond?"Why did you have to be so cruel, Emilia? Why can't you show Lianne some kindness?"Once again, he blamed me for everything, just like my diary said. No matter what happened between me and Julianne, he would always take Julianne's side without looking into the matter.My parents and Jeremy were the same. Ever since Julianne turned up in my life, everything was my fault. I was always the wrong one, the malicious one, the one who couldn't
"Emilia, you bitch, how dare you show your face here!" A woman lunged at me as she screamed.Before I could back away to avoid the woman's attack, Shaun stepped in front of me, taking the brunt of the blow on my behalf.Seeing him frown from the impact, my expression turned cold.The woman, furious at not being able to hit me with her bag, pointed at Shaun and screamed, "Who are you? Why are you shielding this bitch? Are you her lover?"Now I know why you've changed so much, Emilia Quill! You've been fooling around with someone else! I'm going to tell Irvin, so he'll give you nothing in the divorce, you cheating bitch!"Katie's daughter was just as vile and uncultured as herself.I stepped forward and said coldly, "Simone Fisher, between me and Irvin, we both know who was actually unfaithful. You'd better watch your mouth!"Simone had grown up with Irvin and Julianne. She was Julianne's number one bootlicker, so naturally, she didn't like me at all. She was just as bad as her mo
I was found by an older man who was fishing early in the morning. When he cast his line, the hook accidentally snagged onto me, and no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't come loose. He got closer and saw me floating in the water. Terrified, he dropped his fishing rod and ran to call the cops.When the police pulled me out of the water, I was barely breathing. The doctors who treated me didn't think I would survive, and my family didn't even bother signing the consent forms for further treatment. Yet somehow, I clung to life and became a medical miracle.The moment of impact when I fell was excruciating, but waking up afterward was so much worse. The pain was unbearable; it felt like my body was punishing me for surviving. Out of the 206 bones in a human body, I had broken 108, some of them shattered into fragments. Every inch of me hurt, and the torment made me wish I hadn't made it.I couldn't move, nor could I stand anyone touching me. Even when the nurse lightly pressed o...
