Chapter 6

Author: Goldy
“Did I force her to use my work? Did I force her to replace my name with hers? Now that you’ve been caught, you want me to take the fall? Are you two a pair of calculators? You certainly know how to compute your interests.”

Charles was momentarily stunned before he took a deep breath and spoke with finality. “Hazel, you created those pieces. If Sharon gets in trouble, you can’t wash your hands off it!”

I almost admired his arrogance. Had I built him so high up that he had forgotten who he was?

“That’s not what you said before, Charles. You were the one who declared that all employee designs belong to the company and have nothing to do with any former staff member.”

“How dare you?!” He was furious, but he could not refute it. “Hazel, I know you’re angry, but please be rational. Once this is settled, I’ll make it up to you by taking you to Bali.”

It was the same trick. He would hit me with a stick and then give me a carrot.

A year ago, I had wanted to visit Bali for our honeymoon.

  • He Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 9

    “I know I was wrong. I truly regret everything I’ve done. But Hazel, we’ve been married for seven years. I don’t want to give up. I promise I’ll never hurt you again. Please give me one more chance.” Charles’s voice trembled with each word as his confession spilled out between choked sobs. The young nurse standing beside him seemed genuinely moved. She looked at me with teary eyes and silently urged me to respond kindly to him.However, I did not. I watched him with quiet detachment because my love for him was dead. “There are no more chances, Charles.” “There are! Hazel, I’m begging you…” He got too agitated and coughed up some blood on his shirt. Yet, I no longer felt worried or sad.I felt nothing.When I was about to undergo nerve repair surgery, I was drowning in despair and terrified that I might never draw again. But he never showed me a shred of concern. When I bumped into him at the hospital during my rehabilitation, he accused me of following him and called me

    He had gathered all the used sleep balm cases and put them there. According to him, they were proof of my love for him.Time had stripped them of their color, just as it had stripped my love for him. It had left them cracked and faded. Then, I walked him to the garden where the camphor tree was. He stood and stared at the withered tree in shock. “Didn’t you want a sleep balm? Bring the tree back to life first.” “How… How could this be?” I ignored his disbelief.“How could it not? Charles, hot water could produce smoke… but so could sulfuric acid. You should know that much chemistry.” My mocking words struck him like a bolt of lightning, and he was left speechless. “Do you still think I’m divorcing you over a tree?” He lowered his head in silence. After a moment, I heard low and stifled sobs from him. Seven years of devotion, and all I got in return was a single sentence at that family banquet, “You chose this. I didn’t force you.”He did not deserve my forgiveness.

    He would stand there like a statue rooted to the spot.He never tried to approach me, but he never left either. To avoid prison, Charles and Sharon personally met up with Eric. Charles handed over half of the company’s funds as compensation, and only then did the lawsuit conclude. Eric called me afterward and joked that we should use the money to pay for my next wedding. “Is this enough to calm your anger? We should’ve never gone easy on those two.“If you hadn’t given up on going abroad for him, Charles wouldn’t even have the life he has today. How dare he betray you?!” he said more fiercely. I smiled, but a sigh slipped from my lips. Charles and I had truly been in love. We were so in love that I could give everything up for him.However, everything changed in just a few years.He grew used to my devotion and grew used to ignoring my pain just as easily.The man who once said he loved me existed only in my memories. I accepted Eric’s offer to work in Zureland and wou

    “What did you just say?!”He gripped the phone till his knuckles turned white.“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”Watching the disbelief and suspicion flicker across his face, I could not help but find him both pitiful and laughable. He was still thinking that I had colluded with the doctor to stage this.Shortly after, he softened his tone. “Let’s not dwell on that for now. Once everything’s clarified, I’ll make it up to you. Just handle this for now, and I’ll treat you better.”Anyone who believed the promises of men deserved the consequences. I pulled my coat more tightly around myself and crossed my arms. As I stared at him, I wondered how I ever thought this man was worth my time.A year ago, Sharon returned from abroad and joined his company as his secretary. Before I could object, the two of them swiftly sidelined me. They stripped me of my position and credited all my work to her.“It’s all for the company’s benefit. Sharon studied abroad for years. With her

    Before I blocked him, I picked up his call one last time.There was chaos on the other end before his voice cut through. He sounded a little surprised. “Are you done causing trouble? I’m out of sleep balms. You need to make more.”“It’s only a sleep balm. If you can’t buy one, get Sharon to make you some. You own an entire spice estate. Surely, that’s enough for you.” “Can you stop being so bitter? How long are you going to hold on to this? What do I have to do to satisfy you?” I no longer wanted to argue with himEvery time we had a conflict, he avoided discussing the cause. Instead, he would placate me with money, gifts, and property. It was as if once I benefited from these material things, I should swallow my grievances and never speak of them again.I could not help but laugh bitterly. “Not everything can be solved with money. That tree helped you for seven years. Even a dog would show gratitude after that long. How do you manage to feel nothing?” He fell silent, and it
