Several years after that tragic incident took place, the group of drug dealers still managed to locate me.I called my husband, whilst trembling in fear, Harvey Ferguson, and placed my only hope on him.Unfortunately, my call for help was returned with his indifferent response. "Danica, you're a terrible liar. Do you think I will believe you if you imitate what happened to Nat? Get over here and finalize our divorce in three days. Stop coming up with bad excuses like this."When I saw that he heartlessly hung up the phone, I completely gave up on the idea of seeking his help.The drug dealers brutally stabbed me dozens of times as they gritted their teeth in anger and roared, "Pay for what your father did!"Moments before dying, I seemed to have seen my father. "Dani, don't cry. Come. Follow me home," he said with a smile.Although I desperately wished his words were true, I knew very well it was just my hallucination, for my father had been dead for more than ten years.The ice
Harvey denied everything when he woke up, saying, "Since you want to leave, just pretend this never happened." He looked at me coldly, treating me as though I was the scum of the Earth.I thought about it dazedly. Eventually, I concluded that his gentleness last night was likely an illusion.He was just drunk. There was no way he could have fancied me.After Harvey's parents knew we had slept together, they kept their word and had us tie the knot.Since he couldn't defy his family's authority, he had no choice but to force himself to accept the marriage. Even so, he was still indignant about it all.As a result, I caught sight of him flirting with other women on our wedding eve.His father forced him to apologize to me, but Harvey remained silent the whole time.In fact, he was not swayed when his father lashed him.On the contrary, I was so shocked that I rushed to Harvey to protect him. Alas, he pushed me away ruthlessly. "Stop being a hypocrite!" He glared at me with disgust
Harvey was having a meeting in the company the day those gangsters harassed Natalie in the bar. Since he left his phone at home, I ended up being the one who heard Natalie's voice message.'Save me, Harvey! I don't know where they're taking me… I'm so scared.'Since I knew how important Natalie was to him, I promptly called the police. Then, I hurried downstairs. In my mind, all I could think of was to seek Harvey to save her.It was just that I was overly rushed when I descended the stairs. As a result, I fell from the stairs on the second floor to the first floor and knocked my head hard to the point that I felt my head was spinning slightly.I gritted my teeth and stood up, only to discover a shocking pool of blood on the floor.My face immediately turned pale. I was so frightened that I couldn't move. It wasn't until Irene accompanied me to the hospital that I found out I was pregnant.Unfortunately, I lost the baby.I was in utter turmoil. I didn't even know when I was preg
Natalie was rescued without any danger. Harvey would accompany her every day for fear that she would be harmed again.I was just discharged from the hospital when the divorce settlement agreement was mailed to me.Since the weather was bright and sunny that day, I felt a surge of renewal of sorts. It was as though the weather itself was welcoming a new life ahead of me. "Before we get divorced, can you accompany me to visit my dad once?" I asked Harvey.The Fergusons rarely allowed me to visit my father's grave and pay respect for fear that the drug dealers would take their revenge on me.Now that Harvey and I were about to divorce, I had no other wishes except for him to visit my father's grave with me and pay our respects."Harvey, I don't hate you. I don't care who you like. It's fine if we divorce. Still, I would never have met you if my dad was alive."I didn't want the Fergusons' reputation, status, and wealth. After all, no sane person would fancy someone who didn't love t
My body was found. Interestingly, the people who discovered my body turned out to be the same group of gangsters who had harassed Natalie.This group of gangsters went around looking for excitement every day. Back then, they didn't have the nerve to do anything to Natalie before the police showed up.They were afraid of getting arrested. So, they could only flee to an abandoned steel factory, only to accidentally discover my body. They were so frightened that their souls instantly left their bodies when they caught sight of me.Since it rained heavily for three consecutive days, the traces of the murderer were no longer identifiable.The police officers who used to work with my father recognized me."Isn't she Captain Reed's daughter?""How can this be?"When they were about to contact Harvey, they failed to reach him.He was celebrating Natalie's birthday at the time. He didn't want to miss any important moments in Natalie's life, even if we failed to get a divorce.The atmos
His reaction was somewhat surprising. It was as if he didn't know this had happened back then.Harvey had assumed that I secretly hid his mobile phone to delay him from rescuing Natalie. Little did he know that I promptly called the police when she was kidnapped.Natalie headed straight toward the exit with him arm-in-arm and said, "Now that my kidnappers have been arrested, let's go home."However, the police officer stopped them. "Mr. Ferguson, I need you to confirm whether the deceased we have here is your wife."Harvey's face instantly took on a ghastly expression. "What do you mean deceased?""Danica Reed."His pupils abruptly shrank. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face."Ha! Are you also teaming up with her to play a prank on me? She really can't bear to divorce me, can she? That's why she wants to use death as an excuse to drag it on."One of the police officers present, Peter Jenkins, slapped Harvey angrily. "You bastard! What did you say?"As my father's b
Harvey went to see Irene once more.Her eyes were red and swollen from crying all night after learning the truth about my death."Where the hell is Danica?" Harvey blocked her path. "Did she bribe you too? She has gone too far with her prank. Tell her, I'm angry. So, ask her to come out and see me!"Meanwhile, Irene looked at him. She no longer scolded him hysterically like before. Instead, she said, "You want to marry Natalie, right? Are you happy now that she has done her part and fulfilled your wish?"Harvey had a livid expression on his face and pressed, "Then, why won't you let me see her? Come on! I want to see her!""She doesn't want to see you." Irene stared him down and said coldly, "Harvey, you're not worthy of her at all!"As Irene's words sent him into a slight state of stunned confusion, Harvey firmly believed that I didn't want to see him and wasn't dead.Therefore, he was persistent about finding me instead of going to the mortuary to see my body.Harvey's parent
Harvey's eyes turned dim. As he knelt on the spot in despair, he begged Peter, Irene, and his parents, asking them to bring me back.Everyone around looked at him as if they were looking at a lunatic."Harvey, it doesn't matter how hard you grovel today, Danica won't come back," Irene said coldly. "Why are you crying? What right do you have to cry? Every member of the Reeds died because of you. "Harvey, don't you feel sorry about that? Be it her father, her baby, and herself, they all died because of you!"As Harvey could hardly believe what he heard, he swiftly turned around and looked at Irene. "Baby? What do you mean baby?"Irene spared no effort to cut him to the quick. "Oh, I thought you didn't believe it on the day she had the miscarriage. Fine. I'll tell you what happened then. In order to save your sweetheart, she accidentally fell from the second floor. "Yet, you were indifferent about her condition and only cared about Natalie, weren't you? So, why are you feeling sad
