While I was nine months pregnant, the apple of my husband’s eye moved into our house. Whenever she saw me, she would make a sad face. My husband was sure that I was flaunting my pregnancy to make her angry. “Rachel is frail, and she can’t get pregnant, yet you’re walking around making her upset?! Do I seriously have to teach you a lesson?!” He ordered the bodyguards to lock me in the attic that had not been in use for a long time and told them not to give me food. I pleaded for mercy and told him that the ultrasound scan showed that the twin babies were too big. I told him that the doctor had claimed that I had to be hospitalized while I waited for my delivery. But he laughed as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke. When he spoke, his voice was as cold as ice. “You’re still three days away from your delivery date! Enough with the pitiful act! Repent while you’re in the attic! This is what you get for making Rachel upset!” The contractions hurt so much that I clenched my fists to the point that my nails broke, but no one unlocked the door to the attic. My piercing screams echoed in the attic for a long time until my whole body was soaked in blood, and one of my babies was stuck between my bloody legs. Three days later, my husband ate his breakfast that was not up to his taste and said, “Have Jane make breakfast for me, then have her apologize to Rachel with a gift. If she’s sincere enough, I’ll send her to the hospital to deliver the babies.” But no one dared go up to the attic because the blood that flowed down from it had already reached the second step of the stairs.
View MoreWhen Mark found his answer, he was in a daze for a long time. He refused to accept it and continued searching before he suddenly started screaming like a lunatic. “I didn’t know! I really didn’t! I thought that pregnant women only gave birth on their delivery dates! No one ever told me that they could give birth ahead of time!” He called Jacob again. This time, his voice was much softer. “So long as you return Jane to me, you can set all the conditions for our future partnerships.” Jacob just laughed and snapped, “Partnership? Who would want to work with a murderer? Also, let me tell you something. Your precious girl has gone through six abortions before. Go on Twitter. It’s the most trending tag.” Mark was momentarily stunned. I did not know what was on his mind. Right then, Rachel ran upstairs. “Mark, those people online are spreading rumors about me! You have to stop them!” Mark scowled and clicked on the tag. Practically all the heirs of the huge corporations
He grabbed Mark’s collar so tightly that his knuckles turned white as he mocked him. “You slandered her innocence and refused to accept that you killed her to run away from the fact that you murdered your own wife and children! “The body in the attic belongs to Jane! She only gave birth to one twin and died before she gave birth to the other due to labor complications!” Jacob let go and said, “I didn’t call the police because I wanted to see you break down after accepting the truth. Mark, will you let forensics perform an autopsy on the body, or are you scared that the body might belong to Jane after all?!” Mark suddenly lost his strength and stumbled a few steps back before he regained his footing. When he returned to the mansion, Rachel had changed into lingerie and moved into the master bedroom. Her entire body was enveloped in a white fishnet outfit as she lay limply against Mark. “Mark, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. I can finally belong to you…” She shu
Mark organized a press conference and happily announced his engagement before he blatantly started flirting with Rachel online. Mark: Wherever I go, in the end, it’s still you. Rachel: No matter who I look at, in the end, it’s still you. Their ex-classmates came forward to give them their blessings. [You’re finally together! Congrats!] [The childhood sweethearts are now going to exchange rings! My faith in love has been restored.] Jacob’s comment stood out like a sore thumb right then. [Have you found Jane yet?] Mark replied to his comment and pinned it. [How can I find her if you decide to hide her?] The implications behind Mark’s words were clear, and Jacob was insulted and cursed at by countless people on the internet. But that was not enough. They revealed the fact that I was a wilderness explorer in the past and started creating all sorts of rumors about me. [I heard that wilderness explorers can be really loose. Did she get her position as leader by sleepi
When Rachel saw the blood on the walls and the body that had rolled to the corner, she screamed in terror and ran into Mark’s arms. After all, my face was just too pale, and I was stuck in a truly grotesque position. “Don’t be scared, Rachel.” Mark shielded her and said softly, “That’s just a dummy they used for their act. Jane is a witch who bought these people off to take over my family’s business!” Then, he glared at the butler and Jacob. “I’m going to divorce Jane tomorrow, and her children will never become Frank Corporation’s heirs! As for you two, if you still want to keep your jobs, tell Jane to come here and apologize to Rachel!” “She’s right there, right in front of you, and dead! How are we supposed to ‘find’ her?!” Jacob yelled. “Jacob, our families are friends, and I don’t want to have a complete fallout with you! If you like Jane that much, I’ll let you have her, but she has to come back and get a divorce first!” Rachel could no longer hide her delight. “Mar
The door was shoved open. Since my body was leaning against the door, it rolled to the side from the force, and my baby rolled out of the arms and into the corner. A thick layer of dust encased my bloody body and made me look like a mummy. Jacob scowled, but he was a doctor through and through, so he still checked me for any sign of life. As for Mark, he covered his nose because of the smell of blood and stood outside the attic. He refused to step in. “What the hell did Jane do?! Why does the room stink so badly?!” The butler hung his head and did not dare make a sound. He only occasionally stole glances at Jacob. “My condolences, Mark,” said Jacob grimly as he removed his gloves. Mark’s yelling faded abruptly, and he removed his fingers from his nose. “Condolences? For what?” He went up to Jacob and stared at him. Jacob avoided his gaze and pointed at my body. I could not even see my face anymore. “It was an accident. Your wife died from labor complication
The butler gulped and braced himself as he continued, “Mrs. Frank… is no longer breathing…” Mark’s breathing came raggedly, and I detected panic in it. Just when I wanted to listen closer to determine whether my ears were deceiving me, he spoke, and it was ruthless. “She’s just pretending! Fine! I’ll see how long she can keep this up! “She managed to survive in the tough conditions of the wilderness, and she can hold her breath for more than ten minutes underwater! She’s just scaring all of you because you have no medical knowledge! Get my doctor here, and I’ll expose her lies right in her face!” The butler’s eyes widened. “Mr. Frank, her babies are already—” “Whose orders are you going to listen to?!” Mark interrupted him impatiently. “Is she the one paying you, or am I?” “Understood… I’ll call the doctor now…” The butler sighed in resignation and left. Rachel approached him. “Calm down, Mark. You’ll get sick if you’re too angry.” “Jane is seriously good at gett
