Chapter 7

Author: Alyssa J
I looked at Vivian and gave a small lift of my chin.

"See, your dear husband won't even pay your medical bills. In the end it was me, the rival you despise most, who covered three more months for you."

Vivian flung her bag, which let out a shrill screech—

"Jack, you heartless bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Jack grabbed her by the hair, his face full of revulsion, and hit her like he meant to kill.

"You crazy hag, if it weren't for you, Nora and I would never have ended up like this! You

    The day I saw Jack again was the hundredth-day memorial for Vivian, and also the day of his trial.Ever since the truth came out online, Vivian had been pointed at behind her back every time she stepped out the door.The neighbors spat at her, and even the women at the market refused to sell her food.Everyone cursed her as a "cold-hearted" woman who would "harm the very person who saved her life."Just like the small, helpless me of long ago.Except I was an innocent victim, wronged and isolated, while they had it coming, and no one could save them.That taste of despair, they'd finally come to know it too.Before Vivian passed, I saw her one last time.I went back to the town and donated three hundred thousand dollars so the poor children there could go to school, and after that no one dared look down on my family again.I gave another million dollars to my parents and told them that from now on they were the family in this town who could stand the tallest.Never again would anyone b

You should have died long ago!"Listening to them clawing and screaming and tearing at each other, I turned away with ease.All of this wasn't over yet.But I hadn't expected that Jack himself would make the final push, would shove himself into a dead end with his own hands.When I woke the next day.I'd received a gossip-news alert, headlined: "Bombshell! East Coast heir's daughter-in-law accused of two-timing; childhood sweetheart posts intimate photos and handwritten love letters!"I clicked in t

    Before any of this, I'd made my preparations thoroughly.I sold Vivian and his house off to a mob boss, leaving him with nowhere to live.Every day Jack not only had to cover Vivian's steep medical bills but also pay rent, until he couldn't even afford the cost of hypnotizing me.And of course.I wasn't going to keep playing along in the dreams anymore.My dreams finally went quiet.But Jack's dreams turned unbearable.Day and night he began to recall how good I'd once been to him, how I'd been willing to do anything for him, content to stand behind him and watch over him alone.And Vivian?After all their years together, he was still expected to give as an equal?Taking turns at the dishes, having to apologize first after a fight, having to discuss every expense...Now she lay in a hospital bed, and her rich father couldn't be bothered with her, thinking only of his new family, a healthy wife and daughter and a warm home.Her mother was the same. With a son being groomed at home to in

    "Nora, what do you mean by this?""Didn't you agree to leave with me, to let me come for you?"I curved my lips and played dumb."When did I ever agree to that?""Was it a dream you had? Then you should crawl back under the covers and keep sleeping, not come throw a tantrum at my wedding."Laughter broke out across the room.Jack's mouth opened and closed, his face going purple, and it was a long time before he forced out a sentence—"Nora, are you planning to turn around and pretend you don't know me?"I shrugged and smiled, sweeping a glance over the guests."With this many people watching, how could I pretend not to know you? If you've got proof, then bring it out and show everyone."Then, smiling, I pressed a step closer."The thing is... do you?"A promise made in a dream, said out loud, would only make people take him for a fool.He had no one to blame but himself for setting such a stupid trap.In the end it could only ensnare the one who set it.Jack pointed at me, his finger s

    The string of figures on the screen was more money than she and Jack could earn in most of a lifetime, and it was the lifelong goal of that small-town man, so arrogant and so insecure, always reaching beyond his grasp.I leaned close to her ear and murmured."I just feel sorry for you, that even now you still can't see your husband doesn't love you one bit.""What do you think you can hold him with? That failing heart of yours, or those pathetic savings?""He's got a chance to live the good life with me now. You really think he'd choose you, a dead weight?"Vivian's lips trembled for a long moment, until finally she shrieked, breaking down."You're lying! He could never abandon me!""He's the one who wants to find a hypnotist to kill you, to cut out your heart and use it to keep me alive. He couldn't possibly love you!""You're nothing but a walking organ bank. Your whole life, you'll never measure up to me!"And just then.The door opened and Jack came in, his whole face glowing green

    Vivian threw herself forward, completely losing control. "Jack, I've been so good to you, and you'd really divorce me for this woman?"Ha.Hadn't I once begged him just as wretchedly not to leave, crying even harder than she was?Back then she'd only spared me a glance and said, looking down from on high, "Tsk, you look just like a stray dog, all pitiful like that. Too bad our Jack doesn't like keeping mutts. Says they're filthy."She'd never imagined that one day she'd be crying harder than I ever did.In the end, Vivian sobbed until she fainted on the spot, her heart gave out, and Jack made an emergency call and rushed her to the hospital.He tried to climb into the ambulance, but I caught his wrist and wouldn't let him go.He started to panic. "Nora, don't pick this exact moment to get jealous. Saving her comes first!"I couldn't be bothered to answer him.Once he'd calmed down, as if afraid I'd be angry, he hurried to add, "If you ended up charged with manslaughter, it would break
