LOGINMy husband and I were in a passionate embrace when his phone suddenly rang. He pushed me away without hesitation, and I snatched the phone from his hand angrily. It was a message from his sister-in-law. [Henry, my mastopathy is acting up again. What should I do? My breasts hurt so much.] It was followed by a picture of her in sexy lingerie. That was when I lost my temper. "Your sister-in-law is such a shameless woman! How could she share such a picture with you in the middle of the night? How dare she harass you like this after your brother's passing?!" Henry kicked me out of bed. "Stop being petty and vicious, Tessa! My brother's death has been a huge blow for her. What's wrong with me showing her concern as family when she's sick?” "Have you any idea how disappointed I am with you? Apologize right now, or I'll divorce you!" In all our years of marriage, Henry would always threaten me with divorce because I was the one who courted him for five years before finally marrying him. He felt that I would never be able to leave him, but this time, I had lost all hope in him. I did not want him anymore.
View MoreHenry stopped harassing me after that, and he signed the divorce papers without a fuss. After successfully divorcing him, I left the country with Myles.My life had been limited within this city for years, and I wanted to breathe the fresh air in another place. With Myles by my side, I was happily fed with good food even though I was in another country. He always knew what I loved to eat.Myles knew Country M really well, and he brought me to visit his alma mater. I looked enviously at the university students on the campus and was reminded of my university life, where I spent four years focusing only on Henry. I did not spend much time studying seriously. I wasted a big chunk of my youth.The envious look in my eye had probably caught Myles' attention, and he hugged me tightly in his arms. "Tessa, do you want to study at this university?"I was hesitant. "But…"Myles said to me seriously, "You don't need to worry about anything. I'll always be here, by your side. I'll help you wit
The next day, I bumped into Henry, who had become homeless on the streets. When he saw me, he came up to me hopefully as he knelt at my feet. "My company has gone bankrupt, Tessa, and my house has been mortgaged because I'm millions in debt.”"My mother has been admitted to the hospital because she suffered a cerebral infarction from the agitation. Please forgive me. I know your company has lots of money, and a few million is nothing to you."I saw blood trickling down his knees, but I felt no sympathy for him. "You brought this on yourself, Henry. Without me networking and bringing in investors for your business, you'd have hit rock bottom way sooner. You know firsthand how you treated me despite all I did for you."Henry was full of regret. He looked completely defeated. "I made a mistake. Can't you give me another chance?"I flung the medical report of my miscarriage onto Henry's face. "When you hit me because of Ivy, you caused me to suffer a miscarriage. You killed our baby wi
I stepped into my home to see my parents waiting anxiously for me in the living room. They quickly came up to me and hugged me the moment they saw me. "You're finally home, my little girl. Do you have any idea how worried we were?"Tears streamed down my mother's face as she saw how gaunt I looked. "This is all my fault, Tessa. You wouldn't have endured all this pain if I had just stood my ground and prevented you from marrying."I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. "This is all on me, Mom and Dad. I shouldn't have defied you and chased after love. I shouldn't have let anger keep me away from home and from you both."Our family of three hugged each other tightly. My mother quickly ran into the kitchen to serve me the bouillabaisse she had made for me. "I spent the entire day making your favorite bouillabaisse."I choked back a soup as I drank the hot bouillabaisse. Tears welled in my eyes once more. It tasted great, and it warmed my heart. I was reminded of how I made Henr
One month later, my BMI returned to normal, and Myles helped me pack up as I got discharged from the hospital. I did not expect Henry to be waiting for me outside the hospital doors. He was crying as he knelt at my knees. "Tessa, please forgive me. I can't live without you!"I glanced at Henry. In just one month, he aged a lot. He had stubble, messy hair, and crumpled clothes. Henry appeared pale and unkempt. "Tessa, my stomach is working up again without you by my side. You used to prepare warm soup to soothe my stomach and place my medication in my bag in advance. I really need you. If you really need to vent your anger, just beat me up."Henry became increasingly crazier and started to slap himself. "I'm to blame for all of this. You can beat me up however much you want, Tessa! I'll do anything as long as you stop being mad at me!"The passersby in front of the hospital stopped to watch the scene. "What a devoted guy he is.""Yeah. He's already kneeling and slapping himself to
