Chapter 3

Author: Jasmine Flower
I felt as if needles were being driven into my heart, and it hurt so much that my breathing became labored.

Tears slid unbidden down my face.

Wasn't I already dead? Why could I still feel pain?

The sound of Ansel closing the door woke Anne.

She was wearing a lacy nightdress, and she took Ansel's arm affectionately. "We're going to take wedding photos today! Let's hurry and set off."

The two of them left after getting dressed.

In the studio, Anne changed into a pink, gauzy gown that swept along the floor. Ansel wore a white suit.

The photographer guided them into posing in several intimate ways.

The last photo was of the two of them kissing.

I did not want to watch any longer. Watching more would just be torture to me.

Anne posted their photos on Facebook, and soon, there were over ten thousand comments.

"Anne is so pretty! A woman like her, who can start from scratch with Ansel, is what you call a good woman!"

"Anne is much better than Ansel's selfish ex-wife!"

"Callous people like Ansel's ex-wife are sure to die young!"

Ansel saw the last comment and was about to press the button to report it, but then he changed his mind and liked it instead.

He stared at the screen and muttered, "Julie, do you think you can just disappear? Let me see how long you'll keep hiding.

"If you can divorce me, why can't you come and see me?

"I want to ask you if you regret divorcing me now that you can see how much I've accomplished, and if you regret abandoning me during the darkest time of my life!"

I stood behind him, reading the comments that were cursing me and telling me to go and die.

There was a lump in my throat, and I wanted to cry.

I didn't regret divorcing Ansel, nor did I regret abandoning him.

If I could go back in time, I would do the same thing.

After leaving the wedding studio, Ansel went to the office. He was very busy for several days and did not go home.

The news of his marriage to Anne began to grow in popularity on the Internet.

More and more people were paying attention to the love life of Wall Street's top finance giant.

More and more people were also growing to like Anne, the woman who had stayed with Ansel during the lowest point in his life.

I was abused harshly as his ex-wife.

One day, he suddenly received a call from the police, asking him to go over. Anne had been stalked and harassed by someone.

When Ansel saw the person who had been harassing Anne, his temper flared at once.

I stood there in shock.

The person who had been stalking Anne was Jake Dursley.

He was the man who had pretended to be my boyfriend in front of Ansel back then.

Ansel punched him without a second thought.

"How dare you stalk and harass my fiancée? Do you have a death wish? How could Julie have seen anything in a jerk like you?

"Oh, I get it. Now that she sees that I've succeeded and I'm about to get married, she told you to come and bully my fiancée, didn't she?"

Jake was a whole head shorter than Ansel, and there was no way he could win in a fight against him.

He was beaten up so badly that his entire face was bruised.

I rushed over to pull them apart, but I could only watch as my hands went right through their bodies. I had no effect on them at all.

"Stop hitting him, Ansel! Stop! Jake, can't you run?"

I couldn't stop them, nor could they hear me.

In the end, it was the police who separated them.

Jake panted as he sat on the floor. "I wasn't stalking her or harassing her. I just wanted her to delete those comments under the photos that she posted on Facebook, and she refused to do so! I had no choice but to keep pestering her!

"Ansel, you're also to blame for Anne's indulgence of those people who are cursing and abusing Julie in the comments, aren't you?

"You're not worthy of being a man! You're so petty! You actually allowed them to curse Julie. No wonder she divorced you! You're not worthy of her!"

    Emily was startled. She leaned over and saw the message on the computer.The cup she was holding fell to the floor and shattered."Something has happened to Julie, hasn't it?"She fainted as soon as she finished speaking.After Ansel brought her to the hospital, he immediately contacted the police officers on Seely Street. He asked about the murder that had taken place under the bridge.The police took him to the morgue, where my corpse was lying.Ansel looked completely lost. He could not believe that I really was dead.He pulled the white cloth away, trembling. The burns on my face had left scars, and I looked terrifying. I was bald, and I was still clutching the lucky charm.Ansel began sobbing violently.Although he couldn't recognize me, he had seen the charm.He had also seen the butterfly-shaped birthmark on my neck.He didn't want to admit that I was dead, but there was so much proof to show that the corpse lying there was me."Mr. Wright, Ms. Bain was a very

    Ansel asked, "Where's Julie? She isn't replying to my messages!""I don't know. I stayed with her for the kidney transplant operation, and she disappeared after leaving the hospital alone. I couldn't contact her either."Naturally, Jake had no idea, because I had planned something big. Everyone who was close to me could be hurt, which was why I could only do it alone."It must have something to do with Wade, because Julie said that she would make him pay the price."Upon hearing Wade's name, Ansel looked startled.I began to reminisce. Wade had died three years ago.He had been shot to death by the police while he was being arrested for murder, tax evasion, fraud, and many other crimes. The case had blown up all over the country.Even Ansel would probably have heard of it despite being abroad.He looked rather panicked at the thought of it. He had probably guessed that Wade's death might have had something to do with me.Ansel went to the hospital as soon as he left the

    One day, over ten people barged into the house and began beating Emily, Ansel, and me up.Emily and I were not their main targets, so we managed to find an opportunity to hide in the bathroom and call the police.However, Ansel was beaten up so badly that he had over ten fractures in his body.He was half-dead. While he was being treated in the hospital, Emily was diagnosed with kidney failure. She needed a kidney transplant, and the doctor said that mine happened to be compatible. I was three months pregnant at the time.We had been anticipating the baby for a long time, and it had finally come. However, we were not equipped to raise a child at the time, nor were the circumstances suitable for doing so.In the end, I had a plan, which I began to carry out.The first step was to divorce Ansel and tell him that I was going to abort the child because I did not want to continue living with him in such poor conditions.Ansel told me that I could abort the child as he had no mone

    Ansel was stunned.He could not accept the truth.I stood beside him and sighed. He had still found out about the truth in the end.I thought about the events of the past. I had been a reporter. I was a minor reporter who exposed the dark side of society.For my first assignment, I exposed a baby product company that did not meet the health and safety standards. The company almost went bankrupt because of what they had to pay.They had become embroiled in controversy.After that, the company had injected me with some kind of virus to try and kill me.That was why I had had a constant high fever, which triggered pneumonia and resulted in the near failure of multiple organs. Luckily, I had gotten through it and didn't die.However, I was far less healthy than I had been in the past.That was when Ansel had given me that lucky charm.After I recovered, I realized that what I was doing was very dangerous. If I were alone and did not have a family, I could continue being a repor

  • Don't Cry, My Darling   Chapter 5

    I still remembered how I had been abandoned by my own parents when I was six years old. They felt that I was too frail and spent too much of their money because I was always sick. They threw me down beside a trash can when I was an inch from death.It had been a very, very cold winter day, and I'd had a high fever. Emily was the one who saw me and brought me home. She had my illness treated and nourished me to improve my health. She gave me all kinds of expensive vitamins and supplements so that I slowly became stronger. Once I was healthy, she asked me if I wanted to go back to my parents. I shook my head and told her that I didn't know where my home was. She let me stay and live with her. Emily was very good to me. She was divorced and raising Ansel on her own, and she was not well off, but she was still willing to let me have the best of everything. She treated me like her own daughter.Sometimes, Ansel would even get jealous of me and say that he felt as if he were the on

    "You're not worthy of her!" Jake yelled. Ansel was thoroughly infuriated by what he had said. He kicked the chair aside in anger and raised his fist to hit Jake. "How am I not worthy of her?"During my darkest moments, she divorced me and aborted our child to be with you! She betrayed our love!"She was the one who left, not me!"Jake, go home and tell Julie that I'll treat her the same way she treated me back then! Tell her to wait and see!"After that, Ansel and Anne left together.Jake was detained for stalking.As he watched Ansel leave, Jake sneered. "Ansel, you'll find out the truth one day, and you're going to regret it!"Ansel did not hear him. I followed and left with him.Anne took out her phone. "Maybe we should delete these photos."Despite what she had said, she looked very reluctant to do so.Ansel hesitated. "You don't have to delete them. Keep them."Ansel drove Anne home, but he did not look as if he intended to get out of the car.Anne looked pitiful
