My Husband Threw Me into a Basement Flooded With Seawater... For His First Love?!   Chapter 10
I expected Terence to leave me alone, but he rented an apartment nearby. Perhaps I had been too forgiving while we were together, so he thought I would forgive him one day if he did not give up. Disapproving of this, I decided to ignore him.However, that did not hinder him at all. He continued to woo me, and my doorstep was often littered with flowers or gifts. Fortunately, I convinced Granny to take a trip with her friends. Otherwise, she might have forgiven him in the end. I ignored Terence the entire time until one day, one of my neighbors returned from a trip and brought me some souvenirs. Terence rushed over angrily. His eyes flitted between us before questioning, âWho is he?! Are you two together? Have you two slept together?!âI suppressed my anger and looked at him calmly. âYou and I are divorced. Surely you remember that.âTerenceâs shoulders slumped. âDonât do this to me, please, Melinda. I canât forget you. I really canâtâŠââAnd how is that my problem?â I inte

I shuddered as the rope tightened over my wrists and legs.âTerence, I swear I didnât ignore Sadie on purpose! You have to trust me. Please!ââTrust you?â Terenceâs hand holding the rope paused.I nodded fiercely, tears streaming down my face.âEight times!â He pinched my chin. "Sadie called you eight times, and you ignored every call! You didnât even call her an ambulance! How do you expect me to believe you?!âHis eyes flashed red with anger, and I felt my chest constrict.The typhoon made landfall in our city two days ago, and the emergency center where I worked had received countless calls.One number had called multiple times, but nobody was on the other end when we picked up.At first, I thought I was talking to an asthma patient who had experienced an attack due to the extreme weather, so I patiently waited for them to collect themselves and speak.âItâs alright if you canât talk. If you need an ambulance, just knock twice on anything around you, and Iâll call one.âTh

The nurse ended the call before Terence could finish his rant. She looked at me with shock as if to ask, âIs that really your husband?âMy lips stretched into a bitter smile. âCan I sign it myself? You heard how heââ Tears began to stream down my face. Once again, Terence had made it clear that despite being his wife, I meant nothing to him compared to his first love.The nurse looked at me sympathetically as I signed the consent form. Just doing that drained all my energy, and I fell into a deep sleep afterward. In my dreams, I revisited a time from years ago. The year before this happened, Sadie suddenly left the country and cut off all contact. At the same time, Terence lost his father in a car accident. Both incidents happened one after the other, and Terence turned to alcohol to cope with the loss of his first love and his father. By the time he stopped drinking so much, his stomach was already in terrible shape.For a whole year, I was the one who dragged him home

It was four days later when I woke up again. My left hand was in a cast, and all my wounds were dressed. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Terence and his angry gaze. Beside him stood Sadie, her eyes red and pitiful. Seeing that I had woken up, Terence stepped toward me and questioned, âWhy are you lying to the internet about what happened?â He did not ask about my wounds at all. I was beyond confused. âWhat are you talking about?â Terence tossed his phone at me. âQuit playing dumb.âI took the phone and saw a post made at midnight: [Please Do Not Prank Call the Emergency Hotline.]The entire post was written from âmyâ point of view, complaining about how Sadie deliberately stayed silent on call to wrongfully occupy the emergency hotline.It was an emotional post, and it was trending thanks to furious netizens reposting it and filling the comments section with comments taking âmyâ side. Some netizens even found Sadieâs personal information and doxxed her

That day, I learned how true love could make Terence abandon all logic. I had done nothing wrong, yet he assumed the worst of me. It started drizzling outside the hospital.Terence squinted, and his voice was cold. âYouâre unresonable!ââŠAfter the two of them left, I searched online for a tech-savvy hacker and paid him to look up the poster's IP address. Then, I called my colleague and asked her to send me a recording of the calls from that night. My heart sank when I heard her words. âSorry, Linda. We just lost all the data from that day. The IT department is trying to recover it now.âBut donât worry. Before the data was lost, your husband and some girl dropped by to collect a copy.âI clenched my fist. I knew Sadie was involved in getting rid of the call logs. I had to find other evidence. Before I knew it, the sun had set. Too much had happened that day, and I was exhausted, so it did not take long for me to fall asleep. The next morning, I was woken up by a ser

Once the reporters saw me, they turned to shove their microphones in my face instead. âMiss Snyder, is Ms. Walsh telling the truth? Did you really mock her?ââOf course notâââShe did.â A text-to-speech generated voice rang out. It was Sadie.She looked at me, then began to type on her phone. The automated voice continued, âI didnât want to tell the whole world at first, but the harassment was becoming too much. I had to get the truth out there.âTerence stepped forward in agreement. âSadie is right. I may be Melindaâs husband, but I don't agree with what she did that day.âHe grabbed my wrist and shoved me forward. âMelinda, you should take this chance to apologize to Sadie in front of everyone today.ââApologize?â I looked at Sadie and asked coldly, âDo you think you deserve my apology?âSadie looked uneasy and began to type, âI donât know why you mocked me and lied on the internet, Mel, but I want to believe that you didnât do it to hurt me.âIf you donât want to apologize

Everyone started to talk among themselves. This time, they were looking at Sadie. âHold on. Whoâs telling the truth?ââI donât think Melindaâs lying. She swore on some pretty serious things.ââYeah, that was crazy.âSadie looked frantic as the crowd began to sway. She grabbed Terenceâs sleeve and shook her head, her eyes red and brimming with tears. Just then, I received a message from the hacker I reached out to previously, and I smirked at the familiar address.âOh, Sadie. Youâre still insisting that I made that post, huh?â I looked at her. âThen how do you explain this IP address?âSadieâs expression morphed into one of embarrassment and shame. I turned to the reporters. âYouâre all here today for the inside scoop on the hottest gossip in town, right? I have the evidence right here. Come get it yourself.âSome reporters pulled out their phones. Sadie looked positively furious. There was a vicious look in her eyes. As the reporters approached me with cameras, Sadie su

Terence grabbed my hand and whispered, âNo! No, Melinda. No! I donât want to get divorced.âGranny will be alright, Melinda. She loves me, and sheâs so nice to me. S-she wonât want us to get divorced." He was practically kneeling before me. "Please donât talk about divorce! PleaseâŠâMy heart clenched. Granny only liked Terence because I did. She did not want me to be alone after she died, so she treated Terence like her own grandson, hoping he would continue to love me and care for me. I bit my lip. My lungs felt like they were filled with cotton, and I felt like a knife was being twisted in my chest. âPlease leave us alone, TerenceâŠâHis complexion was pale. He tried to reach for my hand, but I swatted it away. âDonât touch me. Youâre dirty.â Hatred burned in my eyes. Terenceâs lips wobbled, and his eyes were red-rimmed. He stared at me for a long while. âIâm sorry, Melinda. Iâm sorry⊠I really am.âTerence paused for a while, regret painting his eyes. âI hated that Sadie

Time flew by, and before I knew it, three years had passed.Since that whole fiasco, I had quit my job and opened a bookstore with my savings. Granny was also recovering well.Unfortunately, Terence found me again. That night, I had closed up the bookstore and was on the way home when I saw a familiar silhouette under my apartment. âMelinda.â Terence looked at me longingly, a large bouquet of roses in his hand. He had lost a lot of weight these past three years, making his features look even sharper on his pale face. âItâs been a while.â I did not like the anticipation in his eyes. âYou should know youâre the last person I want to see.â He continued to look at me.He looked especially lonely under the pale moonlight. I turned to walk away, only for him to grab my wrist. His eyes were downturned as he started to tell his story. âI kept thinking about what we had when I was in prison, and I canât forget about how you stood in front of me when that guy hurled the beer

Everything seemed to pause.I smiled and looked at Sadie sarcastically. âI didnât know the police were miracle healers too. I canât believe they cured your trachea!âTerence looked shocked. âYou were lying to me this whole time?!âItâs all because of you that Grannyâs injured and Melinda wants to divorce me! You lied to me and caused all this!âHis eyes were red, and his fists were tight. He looked moments away from ripping Sadie into pieces. His eyes were filled with regret and hopelessness when he looked at me again. A tear slipped out of the corner of his eye. âIâm sorry, MelindaâŠâIt took Sadie a while to get out of her stupor. Then, she began to laugh. It started as a small chuckle and grew into a maniacal laugh, complimented by her red-rimmed eyes.âYouâre right. Iâve been lying to you this whole time! But you enjoyed it, didnât you? âItâs not my fault you were torn between me and Melinda! You loved how sweet she was to you, but you couldnât forget what we had.âYour
