Kim's POV

Right after that, a jacket was thrown over my head.

Amid the chaos of shouting, blows, and screams, a man shielded me in a corner and gently untied the rope around me. He said, "Don't be scared. This will be over soon."

Only when the noise around us faded into silence, and he carried me out of the dark warehouse to sit me down on a soft seat, did I realize I'd been shaking the whole time.

The jacket was lifted from my head. "I'm sorry. I got here late."

  • I Quit Being His Perfect Dream Wife   Chapter 10

    Kim's POVThe divorce from Anson didn't go smoothly. He kept trying to win me back.When Will once again offered to take care of it for me, I finally agreed. For the first time, the calm mask he always wore rippled with emotion. He smiled faintly and left.I started to pack my things, but honestly, I didn't have much. I hadn't taken anything with me when leaving the Granger residence. Everything I'd been using for the past two months in Will's place was stuff he'd bought for me.I looked around. There was nothing I really needed to sort out, so I just grabbed my ID and documents and headed out.As I reached the corner of the street, the people tailing me finally lost their patience and rushed at me. I held my breath and dodged, then saw clearly who it was—Winona's parents. They were clutching a knife and a burlap sack, looking both desperate and vicious.Her mother's eyes were bloodshot. "You bitch! My daughter went crazy and died in a car crash because of you, and you're still o

    Kim's POVThe rain came down in sheets. Will waited for me outside the cemetery; I stood shoulder to shoulder with Anson, while Winona kneeled in front of us."Do you know what I was doing during the two months I disappeared?" I asked.Anson shook his head. I heard my own voice come out cold and steady. "I was on my knees at that charity gala's venue, picking up my mom's ashes bit by bit. But they'd already been mixed with explosives and turned into fireworks. There wasn't much left of her."I kneeled there for three days, searching everywhere for pieces of her. All I got was a small handful."Anson was stunned. "Kim, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me?""Would you have believed me?"Tears slid down my cheeks as those memories flashed before my eyes. "Anson, do I still have any dignity or trust left in front of you? You were willing to hurt me for anyone you wanted, so why did you think you still had the right to ask me to rely on you?"I wiped my tears away and s

    Kim's POVAll I did was greet Anson, and he rushed over to grab my wrist like some desperate dog."Kim, it really is you! Do you know how long I've been looking for you? Where have you been?" he cried.I didn't answer. I just found it ridiculous. When I was bending over backward to be the perfect wife he wanted, he couldn't stand the sight of me. Now that I didn't care anymore, he suddenly couldn't let go.Will stepped forward, twisted Anson's arm behind his back, and slammed him down on the conference table. "Sir, show some respect to Ms. Slater."Anson cried out in pain. Will released him and shoved him away. "Put your hands on her again, and I'll cut them off."Anson stared at him in shock. "Will Chapman? Kim is my wife! Who are you to interfere in our private matters?"Will let out a cold laugh. "That's funny. I don't remember you rushing out to claim she was your wife when she almost died."Anson turned to me. "What the hell is going on? Kim, I'm also devastated by your mo

    Third-person POVThe Judd family's company was being forcibly liquidated by the court and was on the brink of bankruptcy. Everyone was circling like vultures, waiting to grab a piece.Winona knew that only Anson could save her. Just like she always did, she clung to him and turned on the charm, begging him to acquire Judd Group ahead of everyone else and give her family a way out. But Anson remained unmoved.She shook his arm in annoyance. "Anson, did you even hear what I said? I turned down an offer from a royal family abroad just to come work for—""Was Kim really the one who hurt you?" He cut her off.Winona had never seen him this cold and intimidating before.Her fingers tightened around the strap of her curse, and she tried to sound casual. "Why are you bringing that up again? You still don't believe me? If I were lying, why wouldn't she dare come back and confront me?"Anson ignored that and pressed, "Who did you sell all of Kim's things to?"That made her panic, but she

    Third-person POV"Anson, Mrs. Granger snuck out to that charity event and completely humiliated herself. I was kind enough to step in and clean up the mess for her, but she held a grudge against me for it. She's hated me for a long time, and she even hired people to beat me up."Winona sobbed so hard she could barely breathe. Deep down, she knew that if Anson still had no idea where Kim was or what she was doing, that meant he also didn't know what she had done to Kim. In short, the initiative was still firmly in her hands."They hung me up and whipped me. Anson, it hurt so much…" She threw herself into Anson's arms, carefully studying his expression. "She must know she's never coming back. That's why she doesn't want you to find her."Anson's hand trembled as he patted her back. "You're saying Kim was the one who sent people to whip you? Wasn't she locked in the basement? How did things turn out like this?"Winona lifted her face, which was thinner after her ordeal, and showed hi

"I'm sorry. I got here late."I pressed my back against the seat and opened my eyes, feeling wary. The man in front of me had sharp, striking features, but his gaze was gentle. He was a complete stranger, yet for some reason, he made some of the unease in me fade."Who are you?" I asked.His hand, which had been clenched on top of his knee, slowly relaxed. A flicker of disappointment flashed in his eyes. "You really don't remember me."I didn't catch it. "Sorry, what did you say?"He straightened up and looked at me, his gaze gentle yet restrained
