Chapter 4

Author: Little Fire Dragon
As things started to heat up between us, he kissed my nose and gently touched my hair.

I saw the emotion in his eyes, so I closed mine, ready to give in.

But he suddenly stopped moving.

I opened my eyes and saw him staring at the scar on my forehead and the rough skin on my face.

I was not the young, pretty girl he remembered anymore.

His eyes showed a flash of disgust, but he quickly turned away and pretended nothing had happened.

“I just remembered. I still have some work to finish.”

He stepped back and told the maid to bring me some fruit and milk. He told me to rest early.

But I saw him driving off in his fancy car through the window.

The maid whispered, “When Mr. Jefferson leaves this late, he usually goes to see Ms. Lane.”

I turned to look at my tired face in the mirror and felt heartbroken.

Nigel did not want to sleep beside me, but during the day, he stayed close, like he could not stand being apart.

Since I came back, his mood had improved. He was no longer violent and stopped trying to hurt himself.

He stopped chasing after other women who looked like me and focused on work. Even the white hairs on his head started turning black again.

Blake was grateful to me, and even the employees at Jefferson Corp were saying, “Only Ms. Smith is truly fit to be the CEO’s wife.”

Just when Blake thought things were finally going well between Nigel and me, I got a call that brought me to the hospital.

When I walked into the room, I saw Fiona lying in bed. She looked pale and weak.

As soon as she saw me, she started crying loudly.

“Olivia, I know you’re jealous that Mr. Jefferson spends his nights with me, but even so, how could you hurt his baby?”

As she cried, she held her stomach and pointed at me. “I’m carrying his only child! How could you be so heartless?”

The mood in the room was tense and heavy.

Before I could react, Jora stepped up and angrily said, “Before you came back, Fiona and I got along just fine. I was even happy for her when I found out she was pregnant.

“But ever since you came back, she lost the baby!”

Tears ran down her face as she added, “I don’t care if you yell at me and treat me badly, but how could you hurt Mr. Jefferson’s child?”

Everyone went quiet. I forced myself to stay calm and looked straight at Nigel.

“I didn’t even know Fiona was pregnant. I don’t even know where she lives. This has nothing to do with me!”

Jora hugged Fiona, and both of them cried together.

“Do you think that just because Mr. Jefferson loves you, you could get rid of us all? But you can’t be so selfish that you take away his only child—”

“Enough!”

Before she could finish, Nigel shouted angrily.

The room went completely silent. The silence was suffocating. Everyone looked at him and waited to see what he would say next.

  • The Crush’s Revenge   Chapter 10

    After more than ten hours, I landed safely.Blake sent me some videos using an untraceable number.When I watched them, I saw Nigel’s reaction after hearing I had “died” in the fire.He was hugging the charred remains and crying like he was in deep pain.“Olivia, I just got you back. Why did you leave me again?”Because we made the fire look like a gas leak accident, Nigel truly believed I had suddenly died.He blamed himself and cried hard.“This is all my fault. I treated you so badly. You were too weak to escape the fire.“I was wrong. I’m sorry, Olivia.”He kept saying sorry and felt horrible.In the videos, he cried a lot and held onto my remains without letting go.He knelt at the place where the fire had happened and talked about our past.“I remember the first time I saw you play the piano. You looked like an angel.“I was wrong. I wanted to make it right with the biggest wedding ever.“Fiona and Jora could never compare to you.”Every time he said my name, he cr

    “If you can forgive my mom, why can’t you forgive me?”He may have accepted my ugly face, but I could no longer accept him.I did not say anything. At Blake’s gentle request, I quietly drank the soup.Seeing that I was not being cold anymore, Nigel said, “I’m planning a big wedding soon. I want the whole world to know I’m marrying you.“Once you’re out of the hospital, let’s go try on wedding dresses and take photos together, okay?”He did not realize I had already made my decision.I replied casually, “Let’s talk about it after I get better.”Nigel thought I was saying yes and happily rushed off to start planning the wedding.But Blake could see the truth. She asked sadly, “You’re still planning to leave, aren’t you?”I nodded.“Mrs. Jefferson, please help me disappear completely this time. Let Nigel think I’m really gone.“Don’t worry. He won’t stay stuck on me forever. Eventually, he’ll find another woman who makes him happy.”I then told her what I discovered while lock

  • The Crush’s Revenge   Chapter 8

    When Blake gave Nigel the solid proof, he turned on Jora and Fiona just as fast as he had turned on me.While I was still trying to make sense of everything, the bodyguards outside brought Jora and Fiona into the room.They looked completely different from their usual polished selves. Their hair was messy. They dropped to their knees in front of me and kept bowing.“Olivia, we were wrong. We were jealous and wanted to take your place. It’s all our fault.”“We shouldn’t have blamed you, and I shouldn’t have tried to starve you by giving you disgusting food.”Jora was clearly hurt.She was terrified and kept pleading, “Please, we know Mr. Jefferson listens to you. Help us. Please ask him to let us go.”Looking at them, I did not feel happy at all. I just felt sad.“Nigel, you used to love them. Seeing them like this makes me wonder if that’s how I’ll end up as well.”Nigel shook his head quickly. “No! You’re not like them at all. You’re the only one. No one compares to you.”

    “When you’re ready to tell me the truth, maybe I’ll let you out!”I pounded on the door in fear. “Nigel, you’ve lost your mind!”But he completely ignored me.Even when Blake tried to stop him and begged him to calm down, he refused to listen.I overheard him telling the maid, “Only give her one meal a day. Let her starve until she talks.”Blake was terrified.“Nigel, if you keep doing this, she could really get hurt!”Nigel just sneered.“Didn’t you want her gone before? Why are you defending her now?“Get in my way again, and I’ll treat you just like her.”Nigel’s actions made my heart turn cold.All I wanted was to leave.But I was locked in, with no way to contact anyone or get help. I could not escape even if I tried.Seeing Nigel treated me harshly, Jora was overjoyed.She took over the maid’s job and brought me food herself.But every time, it was spoiled leftovers that smelled like awful garbage.“Look at you now. Once the woman he adored, but now, you’re noth

  • The Crush’s Revenge   Chapter 6

    To my surprise, Blake, the woman who used to hate me, held my hand and sighed.“After all these years watching the women around Nigel, I finally see that you’re the one who truly suits him.“You’re kind, down-to-earth, not materialistic, and you’ve always loved Nigel. You were willing to leave for him, and now, you’ve come back for him. That really touched me.“Also, since you returned, Fiona willingly gave up her baby. Honestly, that made me feel relieved.”Blake never liked the women Nigel found in nightclubs.So to her, this outcome was a bonus.She patted my shoulder and said, “I’ll explain everything to Nigel. If there’s still a chance, I hope you two can end up together.”She told me that Fiona had gone as far as losing her baby just to frame me. That showed how cruel she really was.“You need to be extra careful from now on. Who knows what she’ll try next.”Blake said she had already moved my mom to the best hospital.She paid off the medical bills and even set aside a

    Nigel took a deep breath and stood next to me.“I know Olivia. She’s not the type of person who would ever do anything so cruel. “Fiona has always been in poor health. She was likely to miscarry, anyway. This has nothing to do with Olivia.”He walked me out of the hospital room and gave me a strange look.For a moment, I felt touched. I thought Nigel still cared like he used to.But as soon as we were alone, his expression changed completely.He cornered me and looked me up and down with disgust.“You’ve really disappointed me, Olivia. I can’t believe you’ve turned into such a cold, heartless woman.”His words hit me hard.I swallowed the lump in my throat and calmly said, “This has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe me, investigate.”“You think I haven’t?”Nigel scoffed and said, “You’re so sneaky now. You even destroyed all the security cameras around the house so that no one could prove what you did.“You used to be sweet and innocent. But now, just to get atte
