All Chapters of Forced to Marry My Bully: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

In the end, I was discharged from the hospital, but I didn’t return home with Ethan. I threatened a hunger strike, and he finally agreed to let me move back into my own place. The price? I had to finish a bottle of milk every day under his watch. At this point, even Ethan probably didn’t believe there was nothing wrong with that milk anymore.But I didn’t care anymore. If he told me to drink, I drank. I stared him down, drank the bottle in one go, and then slammed the door shut in his face, keeping him outside. …I pawned the third engagement ring. Of course, I had no intention of buying it back. …Then, suddenly, Julian fell seriously ill. I knew it was strange—I hadn’t known him for long, but I was willing to do anything to save him. If I had to give a reason, it was probably because no one had ever been so genuinely kind to me before. It felt like everyone’s affection always came with an agenda. But Julian—his smiles were just for me. I took him to countles

With Ethan gone, I had a lot more freedom. At the very least, he wasn’t constantly hovering around me, and I could do whatever I wanted. There were quite a few travelers from home at the lodge, and I ended up befriending a younger girl. She was about sixteen or seventeen, here on a summer vacation trip with her family. The morning sky had been endless and clear, not a single cloud in sight. By afternoon, heavy clouds rolled in, shrouding the mountain in gray. By evening, a sudden blizzard hit, plunging everything into darkness. Ethan’s climbing group was large, and soon, panic spread through the lodge. Several families were saying they had lost contact with their relatives—no response, no signal. The hotel lobby was filled with anxious murmurs. A staff member reassured everyone to stay calm, explaining that many of the climbers were experienced mountaineers. If they were caught in the storm, they would know how to handle it far better than the average person. Fo

I turned her into the one who had hurt me and made her my tormentor so I could push her away. That was all it took. I waited for Ethan to finally abandon me. But the cycle never ended. I remembered, then forgot. Over and over again. “Ethan, I turned you into the worst kind of monster. Did you ever feel wronged? Why didn’t you just let me go, Ethan?” I murmured.Tears dripped onto my phone screen, blurring everything. I couldn’t see anymore. Then, suddenly, someone crouched beside me. It was Julian.But Julian wasn’t real. He had never been real. He was just a figment of my imagination. And now, he was here again—because Ethan was gone, and I hadn’t taken my medication. Looking back, it was all so obvious. The medication had been mixed into the milk. Lily appeared because I threw a fit, refusing to take my pills. The moment I stopped, the hallucinations began. The day I convinced myself I was pregnant? Ethan already gave in, agreeing not to lace my mi

I was speechless."That day, I didn’t say or do anything. You just lost your mind. My brother even took a few of your blows to stop you."I continued to keep quiet."You and my brother were already married, remember? You were married to him four years ago."Sigh, I’m telling you all this, but you’ll probably forget it all anyway."Serena sighed. I knew that she really hated me.After all, with her prideful nature, how could she stand being misunderstood?I pushed open the hospital room door.Ethan was still unconscious.I sat beside him, carefully tracing his features, from the bridge of his nose to his lips.The night was quiet, and Serena had left.For the past few days, I just sat by his bedside, keeping watch.By some strange impulse, I leaned in and kissed his lips.As I kissed him, something stirred inside me.It felt like he had responded to my kiss.I snapped my eyes open.In the dim light, Ethan’s dark eyes stared back at me—deep and heavy."Crying again? My little crybaby."
