During a competition, my wife's childhood friend switches my climbing chalk out for flour. When I'm about to win the competition, my hands slip, and I fall from a rock climbing wall that's several feet high. I'm covered in blood. My wife doesn't care about my survival, though. She tells the doctor to prioritize her childhood friend, who's feigned a fainting spell from the blood. Later, I discover that my wife condoned her childhood friend in switching out the chalk. Why did she do it? Because she was worried that her childhood friend, who was never good at physical activities, would be sad if I were to win. Yet, when I lose hope in her and ask for a divorce, she cries and tells me I'm the one she loves.

Love on the Rocks Chapter 8
Ella looked at me cautiously as if afraid to say the wrong thing.To my surprise, her first words upon seeing me weren't to confront me about the withdrawn investment funds.Her current situation was far more dire than before, with my partial investment barely keeping her company alive.But knowing her personality, Ella would never let go until she reached a dead end, even if the struggle made her life unbearable.I had counted on that. My action was deliberate."I gave you half the funds, only to pull them out later. Don't you hate me?" I asked with a smile, unable to deny the satisfaction I felt at her misfortune."No, I don't hate you," Ella said softly. "This is all my fault."Her answer caught me off guard."If it weren't for you, my company would've gone bankrupt long ago. Now, it's just back to square one. I still want us to start over. Please, just give me another chance to love you."She looked at me, her eyes pleading."Ella, let go," I replied calmly. "There's no g

Ella mercilessly slapped Owen hard across the face, followed by a relentless flurry of punches and kicks."How dare you lie to me! I treated you as a benefactor, and you made a fool out of me!"Owen didn't fight back but only cowered and begged for mercy. In no time, his face was a bloody mess. No one stepped forward to stop Ella. In fact, some took the opportunity to kick Owen.At last, when Ella was too exhausted to continue, she turned to her assistant and ordered, "Expose him online! Let the whole world know. He'll never live with dignity in the public eye again!"Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she hurried to my bedside."Ronald, I was wrong. I let myself be blinded by gratitude and trusted him. Please forgive me! I swear, there's nothing between us! I only thought he was sincere, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. That's why I tolerated him for so long."Once so proud and untouchable, Ella now knelt before me in utter desperation. Her usually immaculate hai

I was a little surprised and couldn't figure out what Ella was thinking. But it didn't matter anymore."Ronald, Ella and I are just friends. If we wanted to be together, it would've happened long ago," Owen said as he walked in with a smug smile, his voice dripping with false sincerity. Behind him trailed a group of people. They were Ella's friends, though they all seemed closer to him."Ella's friends wanted to visit you. You don't mind, do you?" he asked.He fiddled with the necklace around his neck—a matching couple's design identical to the one Ella often wore—and said casually, "When Ella was struggling, I gave her everything I had. She's just grateful, that's all."Someone in the group snickered. "Some men leech off others, while some selflessly give their all.""Guess the fall didn't cripple him. The universe must think he hasn't suffered enough yet."This group of Owen's followers had long supported him in taking my place. Their sarcasm was nothing new, and for Ella's s

The next day, the email account I'd used to communicate with Ella under the guise of an investor, long dormant, lit up with a new message. It was from Ella.I knew she was starting to have doubts, but I didn't have time to deal with her.Looking at my parents, who had rushed overnight to be by my side, I felt a deep wave of guilt and sorrow. Their hair was so much grayer than I remembered.When Mom saw me lying in the hospital bed, she broke down in tears. Dad stood silently for a long time with red-rimmed eyes before finally speaking."Come home, Ron."I immediately started crying.No matter how old a man got, he would always be a child in front of his parents.I agreed to their suggestion to transfer me to a different hospital. I wanted to leave this city as soon as possible. Nonetheless, I asked them to return home first.There were things I needed to wrap up here, and I didn't plan on coming back after this.First, I instructed my lawyer to draft divorce papers and send th

"What did you just say?"Ella stared at me in disbelief. She had never expected me to agree to divorce so readily. I'd never even mentioned breaking up with her before, let alone this.But then, her lips curled into a mocking smile, and she brushed off my words with disdain."Very well. Ronald, don't push it. Don't think you can use divorce to threaten me just because I still have a little affection for you. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"At that moment, Owen stepped into the room.When he heard Ella's words, his expression was full of exaggerated guilt as he said, "Don't let this be about me. Ronald, it's my fault you got hurt."I was jealous of you and Ella being together, and I let that jealousy cloud my judgment. If you want me to go to prison or even die, I won't resist!"Ella loves you. I swear there's nothing between us. This has all been one-sided on my part."Finding his act ridiculous, I replied emotionlessly, "When we're divorced, you two can be together how

When I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was Ella. Even though I'd resolved to no longer yearn for her love, my heart still skipped a beat at the sight of her."Why would you investigate the climbing chalk? It's a waste of time. Look, you're awake now. Tell Alex to stop digging into it," she said impatiently without a shred of concern.I couldn't help but laugh bitterly to myself.I shouldn't bother hoping for something from her."There's something wrong with the climbing chalk. I told Alex to investigate it," I replied coldly, not wanting to appease her anymore.Then, as the attending doctor explained the extent of my injuries, it felt as though I was listening to the death sentence of my career.My legs were ruined. I could walk, but I could never climb again.Climbing wasn't just a sport to me; it was my passion, the one thing I'd defied my family for to pursue as a lifelong career. And now, it was as if half my soul had been ripped away.My cold response surprised Ella

Alex trembled with rage. He couldn't believe that as I lay there covered in blood and teetering on the edge of death, she dared to say it was no big deal.The bitterness in my heart intensified. The blatant disparity in how she treated me and Owen left no doubt about who truly held her affection.I wanted to stop Alex and tell him not to argue with her anymore. However, my throat was clogged with blood, and I couldn't make a sound.Between Owen and me, Ella's choice had always been Owen.I should've been used to it by now. For years, I'd convinced myself that Ella was simply very loyal and valued her long-standing friendship with Owen.It seemed reasonable that she'd take extra care of him.But now, even I couldn't lie to myself anymore.Tears blurred my vision, though I wasn't sure if it was from physical pain or the ache in my heart.If I died here, would she feel even the slightest regret? Would she wonder if, had she allowed the medic to treat me first, I might've survived?

With a deafening thud, I crashed from the climbing wall.For a moment, the world seemed to fall into absolute silence.A surge of searing pain overwhelmed me, smashing through every last bit of my resolve.
