All Chapters of Love From The Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When Hendrick Sam got Xena Carter’s call, I had just come out of coronary bypass surgery. The doctor told me my health was in critical condition, and things might not turn out so well next time. He advised me to avoid any kind of stress.Without even looking up, Hendrick turned and walked out of the room.I lay in bed, quietly listening to the nurse’s instructions and her complaints about Hendrick. It felt like a knife was twisting in my heart.I had chased after him for a year before we got married, and we had been married for two. I always knew Hendrick had someone he had loved for many years, his one true love.Three years ago, Hendrick fell critically ill and was hospitalized. The hospital issued several critical condition notices and Xena had left the country. To prevent the Sam family from being left without an heir, his parents turned to me, the one who had been pursuing him relentlessly.With his true love gone, his condition worsening, and his parents’ constant persuasion

“I’ll talk to him. Hendrick is so clueless.” Xena's innocent expression and the subtle hints in her words were all too clear.She was obviously showing off.Pulling me further into the room, she dug her sharp nails deep into the arm that still had the IV mark. I held back a cry, trying desperately to pull my arm away. Just as I managed to free myself, Xena suddenly staggered backward, knocking over a glass on the table as she fell.Hendrick rushed to her side in an instant, his face full of concern.Meanwhile, I lost my balance and hit my forehead hard against the corner of the table. Blood trickled down, bright red against my pale skin, making the scene even more startling.Hendrick turned around angrily, but when he saw my face covered in blood, he froze.His brows furrowed, and a flicker of worry crossed his eyes.“How could you be so careless? Didn’t the doctor say your health is fragile and you need to be more careful?“I’ll take you to the hospital.”I was stunned f

Hendrick was on the phone.“I don’t like her, so don’t overthink it.“She saved me, so I owe her. That’s all there is to it.“There’s no way I could ever fall for someone who’s just after my money.”……There was no need to guess. It had to be Xena.I quietly listened to Hendrick’s assessment of me.When the pain hit me like a wave, I suddenly felt done with all of this.I was tired of playing this game.But I wasn’t about to make things easy for Xena either.I pressed the call button by my bed, and Hendrick quickly hung up the phone.“You’re awake. You’ve been out for days. The doctor said you have a mild concussion.“That piece of metal grazed your ribs. Thankfully, it didn’t hit your heart.”Hendrick helped me sit up, thoughtfully placing a pillow behind my back.I glanced down at the bandages on my chest.Lucky me, I was still alive.The nurse brought in some medication, went over the instructions, and then left, leaving just the two of us in the room.Hendrick look

Watching the two of them act all lovey-dovey, completely oblivious to everyone else, made my stomach churn.I fought back the nausea and grabbed Xena by the hair, slamming her head down on the table twice.“Xena, if you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut, then don’t speak. And before you accuse me of not having seen the world, maybe take your eyes off someone else’s husband first.”They probably had not expected me to lash out so suddenly. By the time Xena’s head had hit the table twice, Hendrick finally reacted, pulling her protectively behind him.In the next second, he grabbed my arm, demanding I apologize to her. I slapped his hand away.“Apologize? You’ve got to be kidding me! Hendrick, you make me sick.”With that, I turned and walked away, leaving them both stunned.As soon as I reached the door, I couldn’t hold it in any longer and started to vomit. With nothing in my stomach, I was left dry heaving uncontrollably.What a waste of a good dinner.......I moved out

But after the company took off, Hendrick took all the credit for himself, completely dismissing my contributions. He let the praise and admiration from others go straight to his head.Someone like that would never achieve anything truly great.In the end, I walked up to him, tossed the pre-signed divorce papers on the table, and turned to leave.“Hendrick, let’s get a divorce.”As I opened the door, reporters swarmed in, their cameras flashing wildly.I had given them an unforgettable gift.Xena was now undeniably labeled as both a homewrecker and a fraud, while Hendrick’s company was blacklisted throughout the industry. Numerous business partners were severing ties with the Sam Corporation.No one wanted to work with someone who would burn bridges.The overcast sky suddenly cleared, and the sun broke through.I thought back to the time Xena visited me at the hospital.The sharp clack of her high heels echoed down the hallway.She looked me up and down with disdain before sp
