Chapter 3

Author: King Charlemagne
Kerry wore my clothes and my jewelry. From a distance, she did look quite like me. After all, our mothers were sisters.

She looked at me condescendingly, her eyes gleaming with jealousy and resentment.

"Nancy, you've been so nice to me. You've given me money, gifts, and even a place to stay. Can I just ask for one more thing?"

"What do you want?"

"Bruce. Do you know I'm pregnant with his child? And he's so very eager for the child to arrive. We'll be a happy family of three. I'm sure you won't fit into the picture, right? Besides, did you know the humiliation he has suffered all these years because of your blindness?

"If you really love him, you'll give him to me. Let him have the right to properly tell others that he has a healthy wife, instead of a blind wife who he has to keep at home."

I threw a plate on the dining table at her.

She angrily grabbed me by the chin. "So, what if you're pretty? So what if your family is wealthier than mine? Bruce still chose me to attend events with him.

"If you're more obedient, Bruce and I will treat you better. After all, if it weren't for you rescuing me from Mapletown, I would've died a long time ago. I'll always remember this kindness."

Then, Kerry turned and strutted off.

All she could think of was how she would soon assume my position, without realizing a burning glare on her back.

Three days later, when my mother came over to hand me the gown, she noticed I had my eyesight back. She was overjoyed.

We were just by the entrance of the engagement ceremony venue when she was called away. I entered on my own.

I never expected that Bruce and Kerry were already there, holding hands like a couple. Kerry touched her abdomen from time to time. When people realized that she was pregnant, she smiled shyly.

When I entered, someone hinted at Bruce. He turned around to see me with a frown.

Bruce's friends surrounded us and sized me up patronizingly. I knew all of them. When I had my eyesight in the past, they would always come looking for me, persuading me to get my father to give them a business deal. When I got with Bruce, they started currying favors with Bruce.

"Nancy, I thought you always knew better than this. I told you not to come. Why are you here?" said Bruce impatiently.

I looked at Kerry, who rolled her eyes at me.

"Why are you here?" I snapped.

Bruce and Kerry were mortified when they realized what happened.

Bruce was first to come to his senses. "Nancy, you have your eyesight back! That's amazing! You can finally be my gorgeous bride!"

Kerry's glare vanished, replaced by a 'pleasantly surprised' look. "Nancy, that's amazing! You're finally back to normal! I've been worried for you for the past few years."

She wiped away her non-existent tears. She opened her arms, trying to hug me.

I avoided her hug, and she fell to the floor.

"Ahh! Bruce, help me."

Bruce worriedly helped her up. He looked at me grimly.

"Nancy, apologize to Kerry! She's been caring for you all these years. Now that you've healed, how could you be so arrogant?"

I retorted, "Has she been taking care of me or taking care of you?"

They looked horrified at my response.

Tears welled up in Kerry's eyes.

"Nancy, I know the blindness has made you paranoid, but I…" Kerry tried to get up by tugging on my clothes.

When I shrugged her off, she fell once more. She clutched her abdomen and cried.

Bruce could no longer hide his concern. He grabbed my arm and started dragging me out. "Nancy, we're at the Blakes' engagement ceremony! This is not a place for you to…"

Right at this moment, the lights suddenly went off. A single spotlight shone on an elegant man standing at the entrance. It was the eldest heir of the Blakes—Aaron Blake.

Everyone was stunned. No one expected a comatose person would suddenly wake up.

Aaron walked through the crowd and met with my eyes. He smiled. "Come here, my darling fiancee."

I shrugged Bruce off me, but he held onto me tightly.

"Nancy, if you're going to go on this way, don't blame my family for calling off the marriage."

Kerry added, "Nancy, Aaron has a fiancee. Even if you want to curry favor with him, this isn't the time."

Bruce and Kerry looked at each other. They stood on each side of me and tried to pull me away.

"Who dares to lay a finger on my fiancee?" Aaron bellowed.

    Aaron's air of authority and regalness made Bruce and Kerry retreat in fear. He attracted the attention of everyone there too."Aaron is still so good-looking after being in a coma all these years.""If I knew any better, I would've married him no matter what! What a missed opportunity.""Who would've thought he'd come around?"Kerry was stunned too. She shyly gazed at Aaron with admiration.Aaron ignored all their gazes. He pulled me into his arms and locked eyes with me. All we could see was each other.In fact, we knew each other before Aaron got into a coma. We went to the same high school.

I'll take good care of her."Tears welled up in my mother's eyes. "Your vow relieves me. She was blind in the past to fall for the wrong guy." My mother then glanced at the shocked Bruce.He came to his senses and immediately ran to me. He shook me by the shoulders. "No, no! Babe, are you blaming me for not paying enough attention to you recently? Is this your way of making me pay? We are about to get married. You're joking, right?"Aaron's parents appeared at that moment too. They were furious that Bruce had his hands on me."Let go of Nancy! Who the hell do you think you are, Bruce? How dare you touch our daughter-in-law?!"With all of o

    Perhaps it was the tears welling up in my eyes that gave Bruce the false impression. He immediately knelt in front of me and slapped himself."Nancy, you know how much I love you. This all happened because Kerry seduced me! She's the shameless woman who asked me to sleep with her."I only have you in my eyes. She's nothing compared to you! I'll get rid of her right away. She'll never appear in our lives again."His regrets hurt Kerry the most. She stood up with a tear-stricken face."Bruce, you were the one who persuaded me to give my first time to you. How could you do this to me? You were the one who said that Nancy was blind and that she doesn't turn you on—"Before she could finish her sentence, Bruce slapped her."You stupid woman! If it weren't for your cousin, you'd still be suffering in Mapletown."Yes, Bruce. Without his reminding, I almost forgot to deal with that traitor of a cousin.I tugged all my jewelry off Kerry and threw it to the floor. "You used my card to sp

    The group of us headed outside.Bruce was brutally beating Kerry, violently kicking and punching her abdomen."How dare you use your unborn child to threaten me! If you hadn't seduced me, Nancy wouldn't have married someone else! She clearly loved me!"Bruce was surprised to see me."Look, Nancy, I really don't like her at all! Give me the word, and I'll kill her."I never saw Bruce turn violent before. Seeing all of that made me glad I left him.Kerry was wailing in pain as she hugged her abdomen, her white gown stained with her blood. Her face turned pale, and she was sweating profusely. She was finally not pretending to be injured."You… You killed my son, Bruce! I'll haunt you even when I'm a ghost!"Kerry crawled over to me and tried to touch my shoe, grunting, "Nancy, Bruce was the one who made you lose your sight."Bruce maniacally charged at her when he heard what Kerry was saying. "You liar! How dare you accuse me! I'll kill you."Before he could pounce on her, Aaron

    A while later, Kerry, who was at the door, asked, "Is she asleep?"Bruce wordlessly lifted her in his arms, causing the abashed Kerry to hit his chest."What if she hasn't fallen asleep? Be patient.""Don't worry. The drug is powerful. Even if she's not asleep, she'll think she's dreaming."I finally understood. His concerns and the so-called happy feelings he got from me drinking milk were just a cruel cover for such disgusting things.Kerry's breaths started to get shorter."The Blakes' vegetable son is going to get engaged.

I can only bring your cousin with me."Kerry turned away, stopping Bruce from kissing her.S
