Chapter 7

Author: Everett Green
With no other choice, the investigators came to ask if I would be willing to see her.

I had no desire to see Mabel again, but I agreed so the investigation could move forward.

The moment Mabel saw me lying in the hospital bed, she burst into tears and rushed toward me.

"Felix!"

Fortunately, Cynthia stepped in just in time, blocking her path with an angry glare.

"He's still recovering! Are you trying to put him back in the ICU by throwing yourself at him like that?"

Mabel stopped in her tra

    The next time I saw Mabel was at her trial a month later.By then, my leg had almost completely healed, and I went to court to testify against her.Mabel admitted to everything she had done. After the judge announced her sentence, she turned to me, tears streaming down her face."Felix, I know I was wrong, but Jason manipulated me. I never wanted to hurt you. If I told you that, do you think you could ever forgive me?"I let out a bitter laugh. "You can't just take back everything you've done."Mabel opened her mouth to respond, but I continued before she could say anything."Maybe you're telling the truth. Maybe you never meant for any of this to happen. But you chose Jason over me, again and again. "I should've walked away a long time ago. Instead, I kept making excuses for you, and it nearly cost me my life."If I ever get another chance at love, I just hope I have better judgment than I did with you."Tears streamed down Mabel's face as I turned and walked out of the cour

    That single revelation destroyed what little composure Mabel had left.She collapsed to the floor, sobbing as she cursed Jason for everything he had done. Then she stormed into his hospital room and demanded to know why he had lied to her.At first, Jason tried to keep up his innocent act. He blinked at her with wide eyes and spoke in the same childish voice he always used. "Mabel, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I was just scared, that's all. And I got hurt, too! I can't even move anymore. Don't you feel bad for me?"Mabel hesitated, but before she could respond, I pulled out my phone and played a recording.It was from before our wedding, when Jason had secretly paid a group of kidnappers to abduct both of us.Jason's voice was clear on the recording, his tone cold and vicious."You're going to kidnap me and Felix. Make it look convincing, then tell Mabel she can only save one of us. If she chooses me, kill Felix. You'll get one million once the job's done."

Are you trying to put him back in the ICU by throwing yourself at him like that?"Mabel stopped in her tracks and looked at me through her tears. "Felix, are you...okay?"I stared at her coldly and answered with a question of my own."You kicked me out of the helicopter and broke my leg. Then Jason shoved me off again, and you shut the door on me. Then Jason beat me so badly he fractured my skull, and I ended up with a steel rod through my calf. I nearly lost my leg. Do I look okay to you?"Guilt flashed across Mabel's face, and she immediately started apologizing."I'm sorry. I didn't realize y

    Mabel froze in terror.Then she remembered Felix repeatedly telling her before takeoff that there was emergency escape equipment under every seat, just in case something went wrong.Her hands trembling, she immediately reached beneath her seat and pulled out the emergency gear.Just as she took out a parachute and turned to hand it to Jason, he snatched it from her and rushed out of the cabin without a second thought.He even had the nerve to say, "Mabel, you've always been so good to me. You even left your own fiancé behind in a hurricane just so I could bring my action figures. So what's wrong with sacrificing yourself for me this time?"A moment later, the helicopter crashed.-When the rescue team brought me to the hospital, I learned what had happened aboard the helicopter.I wasn't surprised.Jason was ruthless. He had even faked his medical records and spent months pretending to be mentally impaired, all to keep Mabel from marrying me. He had also deliberately destroyed

    "What? Mr. Moore, send us your location right away. We're sending a rescue team!"I recognized the voice on the other end and quickly sent my location.Then I carefully adjusted my injured leg, found a spot sheltered from the wind, and settled down to wait for help.-The dark clouds grew lower by the minute, and the wind was picking up at an alarming rate.Meanwhile, thousands of feet above the ground, Mabel was still comforting Jason in the seat beside her."Don't worry, Jason. We'll be somewhere safe soon. Just get some sleep. I'll wake you when we get there.""Can I sleep in your arms, Mabel?" Jason asked, his eyes lighting up.As though afraid she might refuse, he quickly added, "The wind's really scary. I sleep better when you hold me."Mabel smiled and shook her head affectionately. She pulled him into her arms and gave his nose a playful tap. "Alright, come here. I'll hold you while you sleep."Jason snuggled against her chest, shifting around until he got comfortable

    The wind outside was growing stronger by the second. Thick black clouds hung so low they looked ready to swallow everything beneath them.Mabel and Jason could barely keep their footing.I watched Mabel's terrified expression through the window and spoke calmly."Your brother has PTSD, doesn't he? We wouldn't want him having some kind of episode in the middle of the flight. I'll open the door once he agrees to leave all that junk behind."Mabel was still hesitating when Jason tugged on her sleeve and leaned over to whisper something in her ear.When she looked up again, she immediately shouted, "Felix! Jason said okay! Now hurry up and open the door!"Another powerful gust swept across the rooftop, knocking Mabel to the ground.We had been together for three years, and despite everything, I still couldn't bring myself to leave her behind. I immediately told the pilot to open the cabin door and let them in.Mabel had scraped her arm in the fall, but she still used all her streng
