A Handful of Broken Promises Chapter 8
The line went quiet for a few seconds. Then Gary spoke, his voice choked, "If you blame me, just tell me. What do you want?"A house? A car? Shares in the company? A wedding? I can give you all of it."Everything he'd listed was what I'd once wanted most.I had wanted to build a family with him and have a child of our own, even if it meant living a plain, ordinary life together.But that was back when I loved him.Now that I didn't, he could hand me the whole world on a silver platter, and I wouldn't spare it a second glance.When I didn't answer, Gary spoke again, "Is it because of Lena? I know she's the one who killed our baby. "If you want revenge, I'll make her pay. And I promise, she'll never bother us again.""No." I cut him off coldly. "It's because I don't love you anymore. Gary, I really don't love you anymore."My words seemed to wound him. For a long time, he couldn't get a single sound out.Just then, the car I'd called pulled up, and I hung up on him.Gary kept
A Handful of Broken Promises Chapter 7
In the end, I made it out of the fire after all.I had started that fire because I couldn't bear to see the despair in my mother's eyes anymore.She'd been deceived for so long, just like me.But in the middle of the blaze, I stroked her face and told her that neither of us would ever look back.I left that heartbreaking city behind and set off alone with my savings, traveling from place to place to clear my head.All these years, I'd worried about marriage, about our future, about love. The one thing I'd never cared about was how I felt.It was as if my sadness, my loneliness, and my longing had all been ranked behind Gary.But from now on, I wouldn't be that foolish anymore.Living on my own, with no one and nothing tying me down, I felt a freedom I'd never known before. Even the lies I'd been fed felt as though they'd never happened.I checked my phone again. The media all suspected that I had died in the fire.Then came the apologies.[Looks like we all misjudged her. We

By the time Gary reached the hospital, he was falling apart."Who? Who died?"A staff member quickly steadied him. "Sir, please calm down. It's a woman named Agnes Castor. We've confirmed it. She died of a heart attack, not from the fire."At the sound of that name, Gary's heart lurched. It was Judy's mother.Back when he'd worried about her being home alone, he had set himself up as her emergency contact."How is that possible? When did this happen?"Just then, a young nurse nearby stepped forward to explain, "I saw a group of people storm into her room. They were yelling that her daughter was a mistress, and that her husband had left her to keep some mistress on the side. I think the shock killed her."Gary staggered back a few steps.So it was the people he had sent who'd killed Judy's mother."Then... then what about Judy? How is she? Which room is she in?"The doctor shook their head. "We haven't located Judy yet. Please go home and wait for us to contact you."But hone

Thick smoke was billowing from the window of one of the hospital rooms, and flames were shooting into the sky.Gary's heart gave a jolt.He was about to go see what was happening when Lena grabbed his arm. "Honey, the nanny says our son bumped his head. We need to get home and check on him."Gary hesitated for two seconds. He took one last look at the fire above, then climbed into the car.On the drive home, Gary brought it up again. "Since our marriage is an arranged one, and you already know Judy exists, don't give her any trouble from now on. I'll have her live somewhere you won't have to see her."At those words, Lena's hands balled into fists, but she forced a smile. "Of course. I understand. But honey, you wouldn't let our baby grow up without a daddy, would you?"Gary smiled in satisfaction and took her hand. "As long as you stay this understanding, I promise I'll treat you the same as always."Inwardly, he let out a sigh of relief.Judy had been through so much these pa

When I opened my eyes again, my belly had already gone flat.Even though I'd seen it coming, I couldn't stop the tears from falling.Gary walked in carrying a glass of water and handed it to me. "Why did you suddenly faint?"Only then did I realize he hadn't even bothered to glance at the surgery report sitting on the bedside table.Just then, the voices of paparazzi talking outside the door drifted into my ears."Mr. Litt's orders. That video from earlier is supposed to be replayed across every channel. He wants everyone to get a good look at what this homewrecker is really like!"I felt like I'd been struck by lightning.A flicker of guilt crossed Gary's eyes, but he pretended to stay calm as he explained, "If you're going to apologize, obviously everyone should know about it. It can't just be a show for my benefit."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I yanked the tubes out of my body and shoved him away hard.Stumbling and scrambling, I ran into my mother's hospital roo

The blood in my veins ran cold."Mom... let me explain..."Before I could say anything more, her crying abruptly stopped.By the time I rushed to the hospital, my mom was barely hanging on and wouldn't even look at me."The patient is having a sudden heart attack. We need to start emergency treatment right away!"Watching my mother get wheeled into the operating room, I collapsed onto a bench, drained of all strength.My phone wouldn't stop buzzing.It turned out Lena had posted her and Gary's marriage certificate online.[And to think I sent her over a hundred thousand dollars in gifts! Turns out she's the mistress who's been clinging to my husband all along. You really never know what's in someone's heart!]The female clients who'd once requested live calls with me chimed in one after another.[Exactly! She tried to seduce my husband too. She even set up an in-person meetup with him!][She got the money AND the men. Absolutely shameless!]The endless stream of words on th
