Semua Bab Two Women, One Rescue: Bab 1 - Bab 8

When Ryan stabbed me five times, my white dress was quickly soaked with crimson blood. He pressed the bloodied knife against my vulnerable neck."Call David," he said. His hand trembled with rage.Pale-faced, I hesitated briefly before dialing, "I've been taken by Ryan. He's stabbed me several times, up on our neighborhood rooftop. Come rescue me quickly." My voice quivered.A moment of silence followed, then a response devoid of concern—cold and dismissive: "Really? What timing. Ashley falls apart and tries to kill herself, and now you're being stabbed," David said. His tone was utterly detached."How could Ryan possibly know our new address? I was so careful with my confidential work," he didn't believe me."Next time, try to come up with a more believable lie before your little performance, okay?" he said. The sarcasm dripped from his words.The icy words crackled through the phone. Ryan's dark eyes blazed with intense hatred, his grip tightening. A fresh crimson line appeared

"I can't stand Rachel. This time, she hired extras to act out a melodramatic jealousy scene. What's next? Will she actually kill someone or start a fire?" David said. He paused, looking at the surrounding crowd."She's so emotionally unstable. Remember to avoid her after our divorce," he continued. His voice was loud and deliberate."I'll make sure to divorce her within three months. Then I'll marry my love, Ashley! We'll share our happiness online and offline!" he announced.The crowd erupted in cheers, "Yes! We support you!""Some wives are just bad luck for us men!""We support you!"Under everyone's gaze, Ashley blushed and nodded, putting on the diamond ring that was much larger than the one I'd received. Her lips curved in a triumphant smile, showing no trace of her previous suicidal despair.I put down my phone and prepared to ask a doctor about my condition.Just as I reached the door, I heard my mother-in-law on the phone, "I've sent you the photos. Rachel's baby is go

We met a few times for dinner, and we both thought we were well-matched. We discussed marriage.The first year of marriage, David was incredibly cold towards me.My best friend joked, asking if David was gay. Or if he already loved someone else, which explained his indifference to his beautiful wife.I didn't overthink it. David gave me his monthly salary on time and didn't cause trouble. I thought life could be like this.After six months, I realized I was starting to like him.I began actively trying to improve our lifeless marriage.Knowing his rescue team work disrupted his diet, I made nutritious soups every day to soothe his stomach.He said he disliked housework, so I took over everything.He wanted a quiet sleeping environment and suggested separate bedrooms. I swallowed my hurt and gave him the freedom he wanted.Even when he lost twenty thousand dollars of our shared funds in stock trading, canceling my home renovation plans, I never complained.I thought he was jus

She dropped to her knees with a thud, her eyes turning red, crying pitifully, "Why are you still trying to destroy me? I've stayed far away from you," she said. Her voice trembled."When you first told me to stay away, I immediately paid the deposit to move. When you said you were jealous of David's treatment of me, I immediately distanced myself from him and even generously let him go. Why are you still spreading rumors about me? Are you trying to drive me to death?" she continued.Ashley's outburst drew a crowd in the hallway.Onlookers, confused by the situation, immediately began pointing and whispering."How pitiful. She's kneeling to you. What more do you want?" one said."I recognize this. It looks like severe depression. She's probably telling the truth," another commented."This woman is so cruel. No wonder she's in the hospital. Even God can't stand her," a third added.Ashley lowered her head, a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth.When she looked up again, she w
