Chapter 4 The Kidnapping

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 them.

Harvey simply remained silent upon hearing my request.

Honestly, I didn't want to guilt-trip him. It was just that fate had decided to bind our lives together.

There was nothing we could do. Regardless, I finally had it all figured out today. We might as well let each other go instead of tormenting each other.

"I'll give you enough money."

"It's alright." I smile in relief. "I don't want anything from you."

I stayed with the Fergusons until the day I left my father's grave. After that, I never returned to the Ferguson Residence. I moved to Irene's place. As for Harvey, he didn't care about any of it, which didn't surprise me.

However, our divorce kept getting held off due to the objections from Harvey's parents.

Later, Natalie took the initiative and came to me. "Miss Reed, why do you want to pester a man who doesn't love you? Dragging it on will only make him more and more disgusted with you."

I wanted to ignore her at first. However, she made a false countercharge against me.

"Do you find it fun to keep someone else's boyfriend all to yourself like this?"

One after another, people in the cafe looked up when they heard what Natalie said. When she noticed this, she raised her voice and continued, "He doesn't love you. Can you please let him go?"

Thanks to her lies, all the passers-by cast me a scrutinizing look.

Although I was furious at her lies and found them laughable, I refrained from arguing with her under the public's watchful eyes.

It was just that Irene was in a towering rage after learning about it. Thus, she stormed to Harvey's company to find Natalie.

Eventually, Harvey couldn't bear it anymore and approached me. "Danica, what's the meaning of this? Nearly causing her to lose her virginity last time wasn't enough for you, huh? That's why you have Irene come to the company and shame her this time.

"Why are you so evil? Do you think I won't divorce you because you have the support from my family, huh?"

Since I knew he hated me down to his very core, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't help him fulfill his wish.

"Three days later then. This time, we will get that divorce as you wish." The biggest obstacle to our divorce was from the Fergusons.

Thus, Harvey could successfully divorce me and marry Natalie as long as I persuaded Harvey's parents.

Unfortunately, the drug dealers kidnapped me before I could talk to his parents. "We have finally found you after all these years," they said maliciously.

Since Irene had turned off her phone, I had no choice but to call Harvey.

If he had believed in me, I wouldn't have died so tragically. He might even be able to get the divorce certificate that he so wished for three days later.
