"Ines, apologize to your friend. You did hit her first, after all," Dad urged.

As the whispers around me grew louder, Carlene curled her lips into a taunting smile. She fixed me with a vicious stare and said, "I'll make you pay for everything, Ines. Percy is mine. The more he tries to get near you, the harder I'm going to ruin your life."

Far from being rattled by her smug expression, I found myself laughing.

"Carlene, clearly you still don't realize that you've crossed more people than just

  • Our Wedding Turned Into Their Battlefield   Chapter 10

    Marsha mulled over my words for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, "Fine. But don't think I'll let you off for what you did today. And you'd better stay away from Percy!"With that, she gave the door a vicious kick and turned to leave.Over the next few days, Percy kept pestering me as frequently as before. Even the news that Carlene had been beaten into a vegetative state and hospitalized didn't seem to weigh on him at all.Meanwhile, I was looking forward to the day Percy discovered Marsha had stolen his ID.But a few days later, word got around that Percy and Marsha had a huge falling out.As I passed by his apartment building, Percy was standing outside, so furious his eyes were red."Mom, how could you steal my ID and marry me off to Carlene? I already told you that the only woman I'll ever be with is Ines!"Marsha crossed her arms and replied dismissively, "What's so great about Ines anyway? Carlene may bicker with you day in and day out, but privately she's been w

    "Ines, apologize to your friend. You did hit her first, after all," Dad urged.As the whispers around me grew louder, Carlene curled her lips into a taunting smile. She fixed me with a vicious stare and said, "I'll make you pay for everything, Ines. Percy is mine. The more he tries to get near you, the harder I'm going to ruin your life."Far from being rattled by her smug expression, I found myself laughing."Carlene, clearly you still don't realize that you've crossed more people than just me in your little game to steal Percy."A flicker of confusion crossed Carlene's eyes. Right then, a group of people suddenly rushed up and surrounded her.The one in the lead stepped forward and pinned her viciously to the ground. Then, he kicked her twice."We finally found you, you lunatic who blocked the road!" The man grabbed her by the hair and slapped her twice across the face. "Because of you, our boss's wife didn't get treated in time. Do you have any idea who he is? One snap of his

    One day, when I walked to the ground floor of my apartment building, I saw a crowd gathered around."What's that man doing up on the roof?""He's not going to jump, is he?"I looked up and recognized that familiar figure at once. I rubbed my aching forehead and made my way up the stairs to the rooftop.Hearing the noise, Percy turned around. When he saw it was me, his eyes reddened."Ines, you finally came."The dim yellow light revealed his haggard face and bloodshot eyes."Ever since you left, my life's been a complete mess," he continued in a trembling voice thick with tears. "You can't just walk away like this!"Seeing that I was calm as ever, he gritted his teeth and swung one leg over the edge of the rooftop."Ines, if you really dare to cut me off for good, I'll jump from here!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. "At worst, I'll haunt you for life the same way Carlene haunts me!"The moment the words left his mouth, he froze.A beat later, a flicker of realization s

    "Carlene, didn't I tell you to leave Ines alone? If you so much as hurt a single hair on her head, I—" Percy paused, every word squeezed out through his teeth. "I won't let you get away with it."I was completely thrown. What was he playing at now?Carlene clutched her cheek, her body trembling. Clearly, she was scared senseless by the vicious look Percy had just shown. The next second, he turned, his eyes full of panic."Ines, did she hurt you?"He grabbed my wrist. When his thumb brushed over an old scar, he whipped his head around and glared daggers at Carlene."Guess I should've handed you over to the cops long ago! Officers, arrest this snake of a woman right now!"I quietly pulled my hand back and said in a lukewarm voice, "I got that scar a while back."I glanced up at his stunned face and forced out a bitter smile. "But Carlene gave me that one too. It's from last time at the wedding. She scratched me when she shoved me. You just didn't notice because you were too busy a

    By now, the constant fighting between Percy and Carlene had left me completely on edge. If I really brought the child into this world, wouldn't he end up suffering because of them too?Seeing that I still wouldn't say a word, Percy clenched his fists and headed for the door. At the threshold, he stopped in his tracks."Ines, give me some time. I'll prove it to you."His footsteps faded away down the end of the hallway.I finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lie down for a quick nap when the hospital room door was pushed open again.Thinking Percy had come back, I said impatiently without turning over, "I've already told you that there's no future for us."No sooner had I spoken than someone ripped the blanket right off me. I was yanked upright before I even knew what was happening, totally stunned.It took me half a second to realize the person in front of me was Carlene. She raised her hand to slap me again, but I caught it and held firm."What?" I said sharply.

    When I opened my eyes again, I had already been wheeled out of the operating room.I gently ran my hand over my belly. It was flat again, as if nothing had ever been there.My heart felt hollow, as though a hole had been punched through it. But more than that, there was a sense of finality.Percy and I were completely over, so there was even less reason to bring the child into this world.My phone was still buzzing on the bedside table. Every message was from Percy."Ines, where did you go? I can explain what happened today. "You can be mad at me. Just don't shut me out. "Ines, it's our wedding today."My finger hovered over the screen, and I let out a cold laugh. So he did remember it was supposed to be our wedding day.The screen lit up and went dark again. Annoyed, I typed out, "Percy, we're done."He went quiet immediately. The typing bubble appeared and disappeared over and over before one message finally came through."Where are you? I'm coming to find you right now.
