Chapter 9

Author: Anonymous
A few days later, Cora came to my house to see me. This time, she looked a little uneasy, and the resentment in her eyes had disappeared, leaving behind only emptiness.

She said that she only knew Asher and me in Jigsville. Now that Asher refused to speak to her, she could only brazenly come to me instead.

I figured that she wanted to vent.

She told me that for the past year, Asher had constantly ignored her. Now, she finally understood the suffering I had gone through, as she had been facing the long nights alone as well.

As she spoke, she broke down into heavy sobs. "I hate him. He was the one who insisted on bringing me here to Jigsville. He was adamant that he'd divorce you and marry me. He said that he would give me a good life.

"Now he just says he doesn't love me anymore and leaves me all alone. He's already abandoned me twice. But I don't have anyone else to depend on but him."

"Then try treating him as a tool to help you live a better life," I said to Cora.

  • Betray Me at My Lowest   Chapter 8

    I could feign ignorance the first time Asher asked me for a divorce because I had loved him then. But the second time, I was truly heartbroken, and that was when I made up my mind to divorce him. "Aren't things better now? Both times, you said you wanted to divorce me because you wanted to marry Cora, and I've already agreed to it. So, why are you coming back to me now?" I asked.Asher's eyes were a little red, and he opened his mouth, unsure of how to start. "I came to get back together with you. I didn't marry Cora. We didn't even go through with the wedding. That home is still waiting for you to go back to."I shook my head and said, "This is my home now. I don't have any others. If there's nothing else, please leave."Asher started crying, refusing to leave. I didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so I turned and returned to my own room.Later, I heard from Mom that when they came home, Asher was still sitting in the living room. Even after they forced him out, he

    Cora sped home as well, thinking that something had happened to Asher. When she saw the panic on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"Looking solemn, he ignored her, turned to grab his keys, and dashed outside. Cora stumbled after him, crying out, "Asher, don't leave me behind again…"But Asher simply floored the gas pedal, and the car sped down the road so fast that the scenery on both sides was a blur. When he reached the airport, he rushed to find me using the flight information his assistant had just looked up, but the plane had already taken off. He was still a step too late. His heart pounded loudly in his chest, and it felt like he was completely drained of energy as he staggered forward a few steps. After a beat, he suddenly covered his face with both hands and started weeping, his tears flowing uncontrollably. Everyone stared at him in shock.He wanted to just leave everything behind and catch a flight after me, but there were too many things her

    An hour later, I reunited with my parents at the airport. They already knew that Asher and I had divorced, and so they sighed when they saw me, their eyes red-rimmed."If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you marry him in the first place," Dad said.I had no right to complain, since I was the one who rejected all the wealthy heirs in Jigsville and chose Asher, who had nothing.The flight south was long. After we landed, we took a taxi to the hotel where we would be staying temporarily. I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to stand it here, but to my surprise, I started to fall in love with the place by the second day. I kept my parents company as we explored the city for a few days, and I used the money from the jewelry I sold to buy an apartment. It was situated in the city center and featured a large balcony with a stunning view. Mom and I planted some of our favorite flowers on the balcony.After setting aside enough money for food and other expenses, I gave the rest to

    Asher's expression was stormy the whole ride to the courthouse.There weren't many people there that day, and we were issued the divorce certificates in less than 30 minutes.Once he got hold of his copy, he immediately took off, not even offering me a ride back. Given that he was about to marry the love of his life the next day, his actions made sense. From the chefs to the maids, everyone in the house was busy. They would usually greet me when they saw me, but that day, they only gave me a polite nod before scurrying off. I returned to my room and finished packing the last of my things. There wasn't much stuff left. I had already sold off everything that could be turned into cash, and the bits and pieces left only took up two suitcases. While no one paid any attention to me, I quickly wheeled the suitcases outside. When I departed the next day, I only needed to carry a backpack.There was still some time left, so I sent my parents a message telling them that I would also be

    With nothing else to do, I sold a few more of Dad's wedding gifts for cash. Asher hadn't paid any attention to me for the entire day, but he stepped into my room once again."Your father doesn't need to go to prison, but he'll need to pay a huge fine, and he's been kicked out of the company. He can't stay in Jigsville any longer. He plans on heading south. Your mother is going with him. "But look at you. You're still able to enjoy the good life alongside me right now," he said while standing before me, his expression unreadable. I nodded. With Dad's money, I could've had my pick of men in Jigsville before. Even if I hadn't married him, I would've still been living the good life right now.When I didn't respond to him, he pulled out a ring and slammed it onto the table in front of me. "You lied to me. You sold it," he said through gritted teeth, seemingly furious.Nonchalantly, I responded, "It's mine. I wanted to sell it, so I did. It's of no concern to you."Asher's brows
