Chapter 36: Mistake
Summer's Point of View
“Summer, not defending yourself leads me to believe that all your actions were done on purpose.” I could hear the strain in Steven's voice, his patience with me starting to wear thin."Whatever you say," I replied.The sound of his frustrated sighs filled the air as I looked around the room, taking in the sterile smell of the hospital and the bright fluorescent lights overhead. And when I glanced down, he met my eyes. Our gazes locked onto each that it felt like the world around us had faded into the background, leaving only the two of us in this moment, ready to pounce on each other.It sounded so romantic but it was not. Both of us had grown weary of dealing with each other’s frustrating behavior. I was fed up with having to repeat myself to him, only for him to never believe a word I said, and leave me with a bitterness of disappointment in my mouth.The room was quiet except for the sound of our breathing and t

Summer's Point of ViewThe atmosphere was becoming more and more difficult to handle and it was causing me to lose my breath. With neither side willing to back down, I was uncertain how to alleviate the mounting tension. “Mister Turner, there’s no need for us to reach that point. Let me assure you we had no intentions of hurting Summer. Moreover, we don’t even hold her responsible for the incident. According to Hailey, she didn’t push her; Summer jumped into the pool on her own—”Harvey interrupted Amby, “And what person in their right mind would jump into a pool in freezing water in this weather?” I sensed Harvey’s sincerity in wanting to help me out.“I understand your concern for Summer, but it’s important to consider that you may not have all the facts,” Amby said in a gentle tone. She let out a sigh, running out of patience. “Prior to her accident, I had my accident. Steven planned to help me, but when she realized he was going to leave, she jumped into the pool in a desperate at

Summer’s Point of View“Tell them the truth, Summer! Don’t blame me for your irrationality! You should be grateful that I didn’t contact the police sooner after you nearly murdered me." Her voice was so loud that my eardrums nearly ruptured. "Just wait, and I’ll see to it that you go to jail just like your secretary!”I raised my feet again, adjusted my pillow, and rested my back completely. “Whether or not you acknowledge it, you don't have any power to decide the truth. Like what my husband said when Celine was accused of, the court doesn’t accept mere assumptions.”Just before I shut my eyes, I remembered to suggest, “It would be useful for you to get a copy of the surveillance camera video from the backyard. Handing over the footage to the police is the only way to determine whether Hailey will have to face jail time or not.”The silence was so profound it felt like a physical presence, wrapping the room in its embrace. However, I was not done yet. I jogged my memory of something
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 39: I knew it
Summer’s Point of ViewThe dimly lit room was filled with a light, flowery scent that tickled my nose. I could hear the faint sound of a distant clock ticking away the seconds. My body felt stiff and sore, as if I had been laying here for hours.Feeling an uncomfortable sensation, I let out a small grunt and kept shifting on my bed in discomfort. The battle between the heat and the cold in my body was making it difficult for me to breathe. This month had been incredibly stressful for my body. I fear that if another accident were to occur, it could be fatal.As the door let out a soft creak, I gradually pried open my heavy eyelids. As soon as I fully opened it, my eyes were immediately drawn to a towering figure.It was Steven.As he approached, his footsteps echoed in the muted room. Leaning in closer, he asked, “How are you feeling?”The overpowering scent of his cologne filled my senses, a strong yet sweet mix that made me feel lightheaded. As he raised his hand to touch me, I insti
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 40: A Trade and Deal
Summer's Point of View “I’m curious what you plan to do with Hailey—”“What do you expect me to do to her?!” I exclaimed and pointed to the door, as if Hailey was standing there. “You can’t expect me to treat her like I’m some kind of saint. That damn girl almost killed me!”“Are you saying you will not let her off?”“Once all the evidence is revealed, I will ensure that she will be held accountable and cannot escape justice. I can’t just let her go. She made a mess of my life and Celine’s. It’s not fair.” I couldn’t help but feel a deep loathing towards everything that had been involved. “Maybe it’s time for her to face the consequences of her actions and see what it’s like to taste her own medicine.”He nodded, his eyes locking onto mine with a piercing intensity that made me feel like he was peering into my soul. As he held my gaze, I couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down my spine, as if he had touched me with an icy finger. After a brief pause, he spoke again. “If I were to as
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 41: I'm back now
Summer’s Point of ViewI was stunned as the little lights above us illuminated his sharp features and the coldness in his eyes. The night and Steven seemed aligned so well. He was like an Alpha of Night that many women would crave to have.Undoubtedly, his argument regarding the meaning of “help” was persuasive. It was a word that shouldn’t be thrown around casually. I firmly believe that when someone offered assistance, they expect you would be forever indebted to them. Consequently, if they were to cause you harm later on, you would not only feel guilt but also the burden of the favour you owe them.So if I had to choose between asking for help or suffering, I would always choose the latter. On the other hand, it was surprising he knew this behaviour of mine. Given that he often acted as though he was not my husband and I was not his wife.After a moment of contemplation, I let out a deep sigh and nodded in agreement. I looked into his eyes, trying to convey my disappointment with t
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 42: He is my husband
Summer’s Point of ViewI was torn between whether or not to tell him. On the other hand, I didn’t want to break his trust and give him the impression that I couldn’t rely on him after all the help he had given me. I absentmindedly played with the book resting on my lap, biting the bottom of my lip in thought. Despite not meeting his eyes, I could sense his stare fixed upon me.Experiencing the familiarity of people who know you so well is an unparalleled feeling. You cannot escape their sympathy when you try to endure the brunt of life’s bullets alone. However, they stand by you, catching the shots, and sharing your grief. During the short time that I spent with Harvey, I experienced these emotions very strongly, something that Steven did not make me feel. It was clear he knew what it was like to weather a storm.After a moment of contemplation, I lifted my head and spoke honestly. “Steven and I made an agreement. If you happen to know Celine - she’s my secretary,” I paused briefly,
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 43: Bully
Summer’s Point of ViewMy heart was beating so fiercely like a stampede of horses galloping through it. With every tick of the clock, I could feel my breaths becoming shallower and faster while my palms were becoming slick with sweat. As I watched the doorknob turn, my heart burned with anticipation. Slowly, the door creaked open, and I braced myself for what was to come. But then, as I saw who entered the room, it was as if a hundred thorns were suddenly plucked from my chest.At first, I assumed it was Steven who arrived, but to my surprise, it was Nana Tere who came carrying baskets of food. “Missus Carter, eat your breakfast and then take your medicine.”After placing her belongings on a nearby table, she turned to face me. However, upon catching sight of the man standing beside me, her eyes narrowed. “I’m sorry,” she said, her tone slightly guarded. “I didn’t know you had a visitor.”To prevent any misunderstandings, I extended my palm to introduce them to each other. I wanted to
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 44: Second trap and compromises
Summer’s Point of ViewMaggie’s face flushed with shame, leaving her speechless. In contrast, Amby remained still and quiet, determined to make amends for a wrongdoing she had not committed.In less than a minute, the door opened once again, revealing a man with an air of grandeur. Though I had not turned yet, the fragrance of his perfume was unmistakable and immediately recognisable.Maggie and I both turned to look in his direction. He briefly glanced at me before his attention fell on Amby, who was still bowing.“Oh.” As soon as I understood the situation, I burst out laughing uncontrollably. It was funny to think that I had fallen into this second trap. If someone were to see us without knowing the context, they would surely think that I was bullying the Disney Princess.Steven’s expression turned sour, but I simply shook my head, suppressing my laughter. It was odd, really, how I couldn’t help but laugh even when there was nothing particularly funny happening. After my giggles su
