She was imprisoned for three days thanks to the man’s she loved
There were some dirty rice grains spilled on the door, she stretched out her hand that was red with pain, picked up the dirty and cold rice grains and put them into her mouth little by little.
Suddenly, the door opened: "Rachel Smith, someone is visiting you".
Before she could be ready, she was roughly dragged out, washed, and pushed into the visiting room.
Across the iron fence, she finally saw the man, the man she had loved for ten years.
She held back the hatred in her heart and asked him, "How is grandma?"
"Do you still have the face to ask?"
James Smith grabbed her neck and looked as if he was going to kill her: "Thanks to you, Grandma will never wake up."
"You planned to climb into my bed and kidnap Melody, I can bear it, but you should never have touched grandma!"
Rachel West can't stop shaking her head. She had loved him since she was a child, but since she knew that the person, he likes is Melody, she has carefully hidden that affection.
Until her twentieth birthday when she woke up with a hangover in his bed naked
A month later, she was found to be pregnant, and her grandmother forced James Smith to marry her. After marriage, he hated her so much that he never came home for the night.
She thought he was going to hate her forever, though she didn’t want him to. Melody Freeman disappeared suddenly. Then, grandma called and said that she had something very important to ask her, but when she opened the door, grandma was lying on the ground covered in blood.
Rachel begged, "James, grandma really wasn't hurt by me, for the child's sake, you believe me once, please, I beg you!"
"Child?" James Smith cool gaze fell on her high, bulging abdomen, "Knock it off!" Your dirty child!”
boom!
The cruel words of the man were like a knife, piercing into her heart.
"If you still have a little conscience, tell me what really happened to Melody."
Rachel West was completely desperate, and her voice shrill roared: "Grandma was not injured by me, I didn't kidnap Melody, why don't you believe me, this child is also the flesh and blood of the Smiths family, why are you so cruel, why?!"
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously: "It's really dead and unchanging". In that case, then you can atone for your sins in prison!"
Watching the man's unfeeling back figure leave, Rachel West slammed against the iron bars in a state of collapse.
"Sister!"
Suddenly, a woman walked in with a few padded jackets.
That was her half-sister, Alexa West.
"Sister, I secretly sent you a few cotton jackets, James is too ruthless, he doesn't let me send you anything." Alexa West said, her eyes flashing, "Sister, just tell him the whereabouts of that woman, he told me that if you insist on not telling him about Melody’s whereabouts, he will let you suffer in this prison!" ”
Her heart hurts to the point of almost suffocating.
She tugged at the bulging shirt of her abdomen, and there was a hint of stubbornness in her hoarse voice: "Melody’s disappearance has nothing to do with me, if he wants my life, then he should take it."
Rachel West was eventually convicted.
The day when she was officially transferred to the women's prison was New Year's Eve.
She was severely beaten by the inmates in the prison until her nose was bruised and she couldn't get up.
In the evening, everyone went to the New Year's Eve party held in the prison.
Rachel West lay wounded on the cold bed, covering her stomach, dying.
She kept crying when she thought of James’s disapproval towards her.
At this moment, a strong and choking smell of smoke suddenly came in.
Her heart sank hard.
fire!
Thick smoke came in through the window, wrapped in flames.
Rachel got out of bed, gritted her teeth, and crawled to the door with her heavy stomach.
After finally crawling to the door, she pushed hard to open the door, but the door could not be opened.
How could this be?
Rachel’s face instantly turned pale, and she slammed the door panel urgently: "Help, help, help"
At this moment, there was a sudden chatter outside the door.
"Don't be nosy, Mr. James has made it clear that she will be left to fend for herself here."
"Ah! You mean, this fire"
"Shh, let's just know it."
The discussion faded away with the sound of footsteps.
Rachel lay on the door in pain, her heart throbbing, her whole body shaking violently.
It turns out that James really planned to let her die in it.
But the child is innocent! Did he really hate her to the point where he couldn't even hold their child?
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, making her unable to open her eyes.
But thinking of the child in her womb, she still slapped the door with all her strength.
No one came to save her until her voice became hoarse.
She gripped the ground in pain, reciting James Smith name over and over in her heart.
James once saved her life, and now she owes it back to him.
If there is an afterlife, she prays not to meet him again.
It was snowing heavily again.
James Smith helped Grandma tuck the quilt and got up to draw the curtains.
As soon as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, the phone rang, and he subconsciously picked up the phone to answer, but in the next moment, he froze in place.
"She's dead?"
On New Year's Eve in 2015, a fire broke out in the women's prison in the western suburbs of City C, and a prisoner code named 0037 died.
On the same day, James Smith, the president of MK Media, had a twin baby, and rumors about the child's mother were all over the place.
"Where are your shoes?" he asked quietly. "With Linda Park." Rachel West answered casually. James Smith taunted his lips, when did this vicious woman become nice” He turned his eyes out of the window, and really felt that the feet were very annoying. After a long time, the car finally stopped slowly. Rachel West glanced out the window and saw a grand and luxurious hotel in front of her. James Smith got out of the car first, she hesitated for a while, then got out of the car. Although she desperately didn't want to stay in the same hotel with that man, she had no other choice at the moment. She couldn't stay in any hotel without her ID. "Okay, Mr. Smith, I'll go right away." Max Holland hung up, helpless. He turned to Rachel West and said, "Madam, go in quickly, Mr. Smith lives on the 30th floor, room 3008." "Aren't you going in?" "I have to go get some medicine." When Rachel West heard this, she suddenly remembered that she had just bitten him, and hurriedly said, "Then g
"Ahh!" The man behind her screamed and let go of her suddenly. It's just that this voice is vaguely familiar. "Madam, it's me, how could you bite me?" Just thinking about it, a voice of grievance sounded, and she looked in horror, it turned out to be Max Holland. "Why are you tying me up?” Rachel West stared at him inexplicably, and through the streetlight, she saw Max Holland's palm bleeding, feeling embarrassed and guilty. She was so scared that her mouth was really heavy. Max Holland shook his bitten hand and said aggrieved: "You were chased just now if I didn’t tie you then, You probably would have been caught by them." "How do you know I'm being chased?" Rachel West stared at him in surprise. Could it be that he has been following him? Max Holland opened his mouth and was about to say something when James Smith suddenly stuck out the car window and snorted: "What's this nonsense doing, get in the car!" Rachel West fell silent when she saw James Smith was there. Seei
"Why do I feel as though someone is following us?""What?" Linda Park was so frightened that she hugged her tightly and looked back nervously, "How could it be, you read it wrong."Rachel West shook her head, the feeling she couldn't describe, only a swoosh behind her, accompanied by the sound of unnoticeable footsteps.She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Jason Kim was deliberately not sending her and Linda Park a car.Seeing that there was a street with street lights not far ahead, she pulled Linda Park and said, "Let's go quickly."Linda Park nodded, and her pace quickened."Ahh!"Suddenly, Linda Park screamed suddenly, and her whole body fell to the ground in embarrassment.Rachel West quickly helped her up: "Linda, are you okay?""It's all your fault, you said we should walk back, well, now it's alright." Linda Park kicked off her high heels irritably, rubbing her feet and complaining frantically.Rachel West silently helped her up, as she was in
However, the two only stopped at the elevator entrance two metres away from her.James Smith didn't even look at her directly, as if she was just an irrelevant stranger.The elevator doors opened, and James Smith and Max Holland walked in without looking away.She pursed her lips stiffly.James Smith pretended not to know her and it was really like that.She lowered her eyes, leaned against the wall and sat down slowly.At the door of the private room not far away, the assistant whispered to Jason Kim: "James Smith really doesn't seem to know that woman, and he didn't respond to that woman just like you did. I'm glad she really isn't James Smith's ex-wife, she just has, Just a little bit of that.""Then why did he suddenly promote Linda Park to be the second female lead, and this woman happened to be Linda Park's assistant.""It's a coincidence."Jason Kim stared thoughtfully at the woman curled up at the end of the corridor, his sharp eyes full of inquiry and calculation.Walking ou
This made Jason Kim startled.Had he guessed wrong, this ugly woman is not the same woman, and she had nothing to do with James Smith?But if it doesn't matter, why is James Smith blocking the wine for this woman?He knows that James Smith is not a good man, why will he have such a warm heart.Taking advantage of Jason Kim's stunned gap, Rachel West quickly broke away from his embrace.She didn't know if she was ashamed or angry, her cheeks were red and her clear eyes were a bit wet and resentful, and she stared at James Smith blankly.James Smith pretended he hadn't seen her, and smiled faintly at Jason Kim: "It's just that Mr. Green, with such an ugly woman, can talk about it. It's really surprising, and people who don't know will think that Mr. Kim hasn't touched her.”As soon as these words came out, the brothers immediately covered their mouths and laughed.Several gorgeous actresses also snickered aside, looking at Rachel West with a bit of contempt and disdain in their eyes.J
Just as Rachel West dodged in fear, a calm and familiar voice suddenly sounded, making her heart tremble in shock.Because it sounds like James Smith's.She hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.She saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark corner, it was James Smith as expected.Bad guy, he is actually in this private room.It wasn't just Rachel West who opened her mouth in shock. Almost everyone in the private room, except Jason Kim, looked at James Smith in shock.He just sat silently in the dark place, presumably these people didn't notice his presence.Watching James Smith come out, Jason Kim's lips smile even more.He wrapped his arms around Rachel West's waist and deliberately pulled Rachel West into his arms, and Rachel West slammed into his firm chest, causing her to feel dizzy.She frowned and raised her head only to see Jason Kim staring at James Smith defiantly.Strange, Jason Kim looking at James Smith, how does it feel that Jason Kim is taking revenge o
