On Valentine's Day, I waited for my husband at the restaurant where he had made a reservation. My heart was full of love. I had just become pregnant with our baby.Suddenly, eight women barged into the restaurant. The one leading the charge was a woman dressed in a halter top, tight leather pants, and stilettos.The waiter approached them, “Hello, miss. Do you have a reservation? I’m afraid we are fully booked for the night.”The woman shoved the waiter away and hissed, “Move! I’m here to catch my boyfriend in the act!“He’s been spending all this money on Valentine's Day to see her! I’m not going to be satisfied until I skin that fox alive!”The group of women trailing behind her echoed after her, “That woman must have a death wish to try to steal Amora Smith’s man!”“We’re going to make her regret ever being born!”I stayed in my seat and braced myself for the rowdy scene I was about to witness. This group of people seemed like the bad sort. Whoever they were after was going
I shot down the possibility immediately. It was impossible.For my sake, he stood up against his entire family and had given up on them just so we could leave Ivoneu together. I was sure he would not betray me.“Devin is my husband. He is certainly not your boyfriend. There must have been some kind of misunderstanding. He’s going to be here soon. We can ask him in person.”Upon hearing this, Amora stepped harder on the back of my hand with the tip of her heels. Her scowl was grim.“You sure are smug about going on a date with my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day, aren’t you?“I’m getting to strip you naked so everyone can see your true form—a shameless fox!”She seemed to have transformed into the devil upon reaching this note.Then, her laughter turned sadistic while she commanded her group, “Strip her!”Countless pairs of hands seized me and started tearing at my clothes. I used what strength I had to put my hand up to guard against them, but it was no use.It did not take long b
I caught a silver gleam flash across my eyes as the knife swung down. My skin sliced open as blood started trickling down my cheeks.I felt a deep, uncontrolled hatred as I glared at them.Amora stepped right in my face. “How dare you glare at me!“Come on and hold her down. I’m going to kick the baby inside her out. We’ll see what leverage she has over Devin then!”With that, her friends grabbed my hands and ruthlessly pried them away from my exposed stomach.A surge of fear rushed through me. I was worried that they were going to hurt my baby.I begged her, “No, not my baby!”Amora flashed a sinister smile. “You are a nasty seductress and that makes the baby inside you a bad seed, too! Purging the baby is my contribution to society!”She raised her foot before stomping down as hard as she could on my stomach.“Ah—” I screamed like I had never screamed before.It seemed like it was not enough for her. She jabbed repeated kicks at my stomach, with each kick harder than the la
I began to beg the people, “Please call the police. Please, my baby…”The waiter in the restaurant observed the blood oozing from my lower half, got his phone, and dialed the police.Before the call could connect, one of Amora's posse snatched the phone from him and smashed it on the ground.“Don’t any of you dare to call the police!”“One way or another, I’m going to put this homewrecker in her place tonight. It’s none of your business!“If any of you dare to help this cunning fox, that means you are branding yourself as my enemy. You won’t get away with it!”They were all terrified by Amora’s threats. Whatever sympathy they had for me vanished in an instant.I knew nobody in the restaurant would help me anymore. Blood continued to gush out of my body.I could feel my baby dying.Amora had better make sure she finished me off today because if I lived, I was going to exact revenge a thousandfold over.At last, she seems to have quenched her anger. She kicked me away like I wa
Devin was dressed in a light gray suit. His figure was tall and striking, a man blessed with good looks.People could not take their eyes off him.He had been calling me repeatedly, completely unaware of the fact that Amora had smashed my phone.I wanted to call out his name, but I seemed to have lost my voice. It was as if something had lodged in the middle of my throat.Amora was thrilled the moment she saw him. She ran up to him and cried out excitedly, “It’s been two years! We finally meet!”Devin spotted a cold and nearly hostile look at her.“Who are you?”Amora announced without skipping a beat, “I’m Amora, your girlfriend.”Devin made a face before stating icily, “You’re insane.”Then he walked past her and into the restaurant.Amora put a hand out to cut off his path. “Devin, are you upset at me because I beat up that woman?”Devin frowned. I knew this meant that he was getting impatient.“I don't even know you. You should get your head checked at the hospital.”A
Devin had Amora and her friends locked up in an abandoned factory.Their hands and feet were bound. They were made to sit on the floor, planted against the wall.The factory door pushed open, and Devin wheeled me into the factory in a wheelchair.As soon as she recognized us, Amora began to threaten Devin. “Devin, how dare you do this to me for this shameless bitch! My dad will never let you get away with this!”Devin declared sharply, “That’s my line. I will never let anyone get away with hurting my wife.”Amora cussed him out. “Devin, you’re a scumbag! I didn’t love you for two years and spent tens of millions on you just so you could turn around and betray me!”Devin wheeled me right in front of Amora before stopping. I gave her a look filled with condescension before addressing Devin, “My dear, it’s time for her to find out the truth the hard way.”Back in the hospital, Devin had told me about his investigation. A security guard who worked in his company used his pictures
I cut her face with the scalpel knife. It did not take long before blood began pooling up around the open wound. I was surprised to see that her blood was red; I had assumed it would be black. I kept going, cutting her face at least a dozen times. Not a single part of her face was left intact.All of her previous arrogance was gone. Now she was pleading hysterically.“I’m a victim, too! It was that ugly pig who deceived me! I’ll pay you to make this even! Five million, ten million. How much do you want?”I snapped at her, “The worst thing a person can be is not to be just stupid, but to be both stupid and evil.“I told you again and again that I am Devin's wife and that there must be a misunderstanding. I asked you to verify your facts, but did you even bother to listen?”I picked up the scalpel knife and jabbed it ferociously between her eyebrows. However, I stopped at the very last second, so the tip of the blade hovered inches from her.She shrieked, then passed out.I wo
