All Chapters of Before My Last Breath, I Was Her Reflection: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The anesthesia had taken hold, and my consciousness was slipping away. I couldn't even speak another word of pleading.However, my mother, Maria Lane, clung to that last shred of hope. She went down on her knees before Spencer Legrine, bowing and sobbing as she begged, "Spencer, I'm begging you. Please don't do this to her. Bethany is still your wife…"She has already endured hundreds of plastic surgeries, both major and minor ones. The last time she fainted and was admitted to the hospital, the doctor warned us not to let her undergo any more plastic surgeries in private clinics, or she wouldn't be able to take it. She could die!"She yelled the last sentence out, her voice hoarse. She kowtowed so hard that blood dripped from it, and she was in agony.However, Spencer just stood there, merely glancing at his watch, his expression impatient. He didn't even move until his phone rang, and then his eyes brightened, and all his irritation vanished as he answered gently, "Yunice, what

When Maria arrived at the villa, Yunice was throwing a party.The villa I had carefully designed and decorated was now covered in chaotic splashes of paint. The outer wall of my room had the word "Wretch" smeared across it in red paint.As soon as Maria stepped inside, a bucket of filthy water was dumped over her head.Pinching her nose in mock disgust, Yunice sneered from a distance, "Well, look who's here! Isn't this the mother of that wretch? With the same filthy blood running through her veins, she's bound to be just as vile!"Laughter filled the room. Maria fell to her knees in humiliation, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Yunice."Bethany only has her 'beauty' because she underwent plastic surgeries to look like me. If she actually looked like you, it would be laughable. She'd be a total disgrace.""A wretch will always be a wretch. All she knows how to do is imitate me, seduce my man, and steal my family."Yunice's face was full of smugness, her expression dripping with contem

Spencer tightened his grip on his phone. His face suddenly looked gloomier, and his voice became colder."What, is Bethany pulling her stunts with you now, too? Are your medical staff even competent? Can't your equipment detect if there's actually something wrong with her? Get her over here now!"He hung up abruptly. An ambulance soon arrived and quickly transported Maria to the hospital.The party continued, but this time, Spencer sat off to the side. He was lost in thought, and his gaze was unfocused.Yunice approached him, holding a glass of red wine. "What's on your mind?"He looked up slowly. "Someone just said… It seems Bethany really is dead."Yunice sneered, "She's worthless. Dead or not, who cares? Oh, and speaking of which, I forgot to tell you."Remember when you came to see me on the day of Bethany's surgery? Your phone rang when you went to the restroom, and I answered it for you. It was someone claiming to be from the hospital. I vaguely recall them mentioning Be

If it hadn't been for seeing this tiny dress now, I might have forgotten about it entirely.When I first found out I was pregnant, there was a brief spell of happiness between Spencer and me for once. During that time, he even went shopping with me, and we picked out this dress together.He said, "I hope it's a girl who's quiet and docile."That was why we chose pink.Later, when I lost the baby, I searched everywhere for that dress but couldn't find it. Never would I have guessed that Spencer had it all along.A strange sense of bewilderment washed over me. Why had he hidden it?The room was thick with the stench of alcohol. Spencer had drunk himself into oblivion, passing out from the pain in his stomach, only to wake up and start drinking all over again.Once, after he woke up, he clutched his stomach and muttered my name. "Bethany Frodo, get me my stomach medicine."He always used my full name and was never affectionate with me like he was with Yunice. He would call her "Yu

Spencer was sentenced to ten years in prison. Without him, his family could no longer maintain their position and lost most of their wealth. Losing the Legrine Family's support, the Bippy Family declined at a blistering rate as well.The remaining members of the Bippy Family had to work as scavengers just to live. Spencer died on a cold winter day. In that same winter, with Spencer's money, my mother finally underwent her surgery.The day she opened her eyes, she got a letter from Spencer. Instead of reading it, she tore it up and tossed the pieces into the bin. In a prison far away, Spencer closed his eyes forever.With Spencer gone, I could finally lead a new life.…Spencer’s POVBethany was pregnant. I thought I wouldn't be happy about it, but I still lost sleep the moment I was hit with the news.I smoked on the balcony the whole night, thinking it would be great if the baby was a girl. She would look like me and her. I wasn't even thinking about Yunice.Bethany and I boug
