Chapter 6

Author: Tonya Hugh
Nathan sent Miranda away and remained by my hospital bed, keeping a constant vigil.

A full week passed. Finally, I opened my eyes, still dazed.

The first thing I saw was him sitting by my bedside, looking utterly exhausted.

He had lost a significant amount of weight, and dark, bruised-looking shadows sat under his eyes. A flicker of light returned to his gaze the moment he saw that I'd woken up.

"Ana, you're finally awake! How are you feeling?"

His eyes reddened as he spoke. "The doctor sa

  • My Marriage Runs on His Approval Process   Chapter 9

    "Really?" Nathan was beside himself with joy. "Did you just agree? You're willing to give me another child, Ana? I… I promise that I will take very good care of you this time. I'll be a good father, I promise!"He didn't notice anything amiss. He was so overjoyed that he could barely string his words together.For a long time afterward, he remained immersed in the bliss of our "reconciliation". He even moved his office back home so that he could keep me company more often.But while he slept, I sold all his confidential business data to his rivals. Soon, Ritter Group's stock began to fluctuate violently, and Nathan pulled several all-nighters, desperate to turn the situation around.I just smiled.While he wasn't looking, I siphoned off all his capital again. By the time he finalized a new partnership, he discovered he didn't even have enough money left to pay his employees' salaries.A few more days later, the stock price plummeted again. The company went bankrupt, and his rival

  • My Marriage Runs on His Approval Process   Chapter 8

    Half a month later, I was finally discharged from the hospital.Nathan brought me back home—a place he rarely ever returned to—without even giving me a moment to catch my breath.Ever since that ordeal, my health had steadily declined, and even a simple cold was enough to leave me running a high fever for days.Nathan went to the office less often, choosing instead to stay home and care for me. He even learned to prepare various nourishing soups and stews for me."Darling, please, have some," he begged me. "The doctor said that if things go on like this, your body will soon collapse completely."I stared at the steaming bowl of chicken soup before me.Suddenly, I was reminded of when I was pregnant and staying home, waiting for the baby's arrival. I'd worried his health might suffer from staying up late at the office, so I often made soups and stews at home and brought them to him at work.But after just a few times, he told me I was interfering with his work. Later, he even had

    I turned to leave, but Nathan suddenly tossed his umbrella aside. He rushed up from behind and wrapped his arms tightly around me."Don't go, Anastasia! I know I was wrong. I've failed you. You can do whatever you want to me. But just please, turn around and look at me one more time."Hearing his desperate, groveling tone, I found it almost laughable. I had said those very same things to him so many times before. I simply couldn't fathom how his heart could change so quickly after we married. I still didn't know what I could have possibly done better.I used to ask him, over and over, "Nathan, won't you come back and spend some time with me?"Nathan, could we go out for a meal together?"Nathan, please, just turn around and look at me."But he had always acted as if he hadn't heard a word, ignoring me the whole time. Now that I looked back, I realized how ironic it was.I wonder if he ever imagined he would one day find himself in this exact position—me watching on with cold

"The doctor said if you didn't wake up soon, you'd… Ana…"He stood up, his voice hoarse as he looked at me. "Don't call me that," I said, not even looking at him.He froze, at a complete loss for what to do next.An overwhelming sense of exhaustion suddenly came over me. The child I had fought so hard to protect, and my mom, were both gone, one after the other. It felt as though my very flesh and blood had been hollowed out along with them.I stared blankly at the ceiling, asking, "Are you finally sat

    "No! Anastasia!" Instinctively, Nathan lunged forward to grab me, leaning far over the railing."Mr. Ritter!" Miranda cried out, clutching him tightly. "Please, don't do this! You're scaring me!"He stared fixedly downward, his eyes bloodshot. He saw me lying on the ground, deathly pale and eerily still.A pool of dark red blood began to spread beneath me.Nathan felt as though his heart might burst through his chest. He gripped the railing, gasping for air as he rasped, "No way… That's impossible… She wouldn't jump. She wouldn't…."Miranda cast a fleeting glance downward and gasped in horror. She tugged at Nathan's sleeve. "Mr. Ritter, please don't scare yourself like this. I'm sure that Mrs. Ritter is just… She's surely just trying to get a reaction out of you…"Things will be fine after a while."Nathan didn't move. His throat bobbed convulsively as he kept gulping in disbelief. He tried desperately to convince himself that she was right, but he still stumbled toward the sta

    Nathan took the phone away from me when he saw the message. He immediately sent a voice note, saying, "I'm not busy, Mom. Ana and I will come to visit you tomorrow, okay?"He switched off the phone and looked at me again."Ana, forget about the divorce. Rules can't be broken. Submit the application today, and I'll approve it tomorrow so we can go back there together, alright?"I bit my lip hard. My shoulders trembled, then finally slumped completely.Dad died when I was young, and Mom raised me all on her own. But fate wasn't kind to her.In the second year of my marriage, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She always said that she would have no regrets in death as long as she could see me happy. And now, all she wished for was to see her grandchild before her death.I knew that she would be devastated if she knew what my life had become. The baby was already gone, and I couldn't afford to lose her, too.In the end, I compromised.That very night, I followed Nathan's ins
