Poisoned Love

"Elsa, are you okay? Open your eyes!"I heard Lisa Hilton, my mother-in-law's voice. Shocked, I opened my eyes, only to choke hard as a wave crashed into my face.I was back to life. I had returned to the moment right after Jessy Jonathon pushed me off the cruise ship.I had no time to think. I grabbed Lisa with one hand and used the other to paddle hard, trying to get closer to the ship."Stay calm and save your strength, Lisa. I will get you back safely."The waves were rough. A huge one hit us, and we both lost our breath.I held Lisa. Once she caught her breath, she shouted toward the ship, "Wayne! That wretch Jessy pushed me and your wife into the water! Hurry and send someone down!"I told you she was evil! She is trying to kill us!"I turned to look at her angry face. My chest ached.She had no idea that Jessy would soon jump off the other side of the ship on purpose.She only did it to distract Wayne Hilton, my husband, to make him forget about me—his wife—and his own

The doctor rushed in, saw the blood under me, and clicked his tongue."What goes around comes around."You always tried to hurt Ms. Jonathon. In the end, you killed your own child."He told the nurses to lift me onto a stretcher."You can't keep the baby. And since we're low on anesthesia today, I'm sure a heartless woman like you won't mind the pain."They strapped me to the table, gagged me, and took my baby away while I was still awake.The pain was unbearable. My tears and sweat soaked the table.I struggled as hard as I could. In the end, I passed out.A week later, I saw Wayne again.One of his men dragged me out of the hospital bed and threw me back into the Hiltons' Villa.In the living room, Jessy rested her head on Wayne's leg like they were lovers."Elsa, you tried to kill Jessy. Get down and apologize to her!" Wayne said coldly.I forced myself to stay upright and looked at the bodyguards beside me. "Are you really forcing me to apologize to the person who tried

I could not let go of the sweet memories.I was so sure if Wayne could just see through Jessy's lies, he would understand.Alas, after dying so miserably in my last life, I finally understood I should have cherished myself most.I sighed and looked at Wayne."The baby is gone, and we're done. Let's get a divorce."Wayne's face froze in shock.I stepped back, and he stepped forward.Even when he stepped right on Jessy's hand and she cried out in pain, he never glanced at her.I watched him move and suddenly felt something tragic rise in my chest.This was the only time he ever looked at me while Jessy screamed.I longed for a love that chose me all these years… but I no longer want it."Watch your words, Elsa!"We've been married for years. How can you just throw out the word like it means nothing? Aren't you afraid I might really agree to it?"His voice carried anger, but I smiled calmly."What is there to be afraid of? All I'm concerned about is you not letting go."Way

"Did you even look into what really happened?" I asked. "Jessy said I pushed her, so that makes it true?"Wayne frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and disappointment."Why can't we just move on? You said Jessy faked the kidnapping. But it was you."I forgave you anyway. Isn't that enough?"You always think I treat Jessy better, but you keep making trouble for her. I'm stuck in the middle. Do you know how tiring that is for me?"Opting to stay silent, I reached for the divorce papers in the drawer and handed them to him."Let's get divorced then."No more going in circles. We're done."He stayed silent and did not take the papers. His fists tightened."Do you even care at all, Elsa?"I've done everything for you. I'm completely drained. And now you want to punish me too? Do you really think I don't have the guts to divorce you?"His voice rose, his tone sharp.I emotionlessly pushed the papers closer. "Of course you do, oh prestigious young master of the Hilton family.

"If Dad were still alive, he'd never let me suffer."Oh, Dad, you gave your life to save Wayne's. Did you ever think he'd treat me like this one day?"Wayne raised his hand but froze halfway. He then clenched his jaw and slowly lowered it. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at me, shaking."Elsa… it was her fault. I apologize on her behalf."I turned away and said coldly, "But you thought I had hurt her. You made me kneel and apologize to her, forced me to give up my shares. You let her order the doctor to take my baby."Is this all I get after all the misunderstanding? Is this your idea of justice?"Wayne stiffened. Then, his head jerked up.With a sigh, I said emotionlessly, "I'm divorcing you."I also have the surveillance footage. I want her in prison."Frantic, Jessy clung to Wayne's arm, shaking it desperately. "Just look at her, Wayne! I don't want to go to jail, Wayne!"Wayne looked at me, then yanked her hand off without hesitation."You've done enough. It's time
