登入She treated me with kindness and respect. Not only did she accept my past, but she also encouraged me to continue pursuing the career I loved.Surrounded by the blessings of our friends and colleagues, we were married.This time, there was no simple meal and two red candles. It was the wedding I had never dared to dream of.She invited all of my railroad coworkers to celebrate with us. Standing before everyone, including my supervisors, she took my hand and made a vow I would never forget."I knew Nathan was deceived and suffered for 3 long years."He was the victim, but I also knew that people who had been hurt in love often had to endure rumors and judgment."So today, in front of everyone here, I promised that I would cherish him, respect him, support him, and spend the rest of my life by his side. I would never let him become the target of someone else's cruelty again."Tears streamed down my face. For the first time in my life, I understood what it felt like to have someone
The yard, which had been filled with conflicting accusations moments earlier, fell completely silent.Everyone’s eyes locked onto the thin sheet of paper in the woman’s hand.Olivia’s face drained of color as she lunged forward to snatch it away.Before she reached it, someone stepped between us and took the document.[Signature: Olivia Lewis. Relationship to patient: Spouse.]"Well, I promoted you to Chief Conductor because I believed you were an honest and decent person. Never in my wildest dreams did I think you were capable of something this despicable."I looked up in surprise and realized it was one of the railroad bureau’s senior officials.The moment he spoke, tears streamed down Julian’s face."Olivia, that was your signature. What else did you have to say for yourself?"Olivia had never expected so many people to come forward on my behalf. She panicked and blurted out, "It was fake. They forged it.""That was nonsense!" shouted a nurse as she stormed over and slappe
Just as the handcuffs were about to snap around my wrists, I broke free and grabbed Lisa’s arm."Lisa, you can testify that Olivia tricked me into spending the last 3 years taking care of my father‑in‑law, right?"She looked completely bewildered."Of course I can. Everyone knew you devoted yourself to taking care of your father‑in‑law for 3 years. What was going on here?"The crowd fell silent."What did you mean, father‑in‑law?"Lisa frowned in confusion."Wait, you people did not know? Nathan was Olivia’s husband. He took leave from work to care for his seriously ill father‑in‑law.""You were saying Nathan was Olivia’s husband?"One of the police officers sensed something was wrong.Still confused, Lisa nodded."That was right. They were dirt poor when they got married. They even borrowed the red wedding candles from my house."After they married, Nathan stayed home to take care of his father‑in‑law. Olivia promised she would hold his position for him and transfer him ba
Everyone let out a sigh of relief."I knew it. Olivia loved her husband too much to do something like this.""So Nathan really went crazy. Was this what they called lovesickness?""They paid him 3 dollars a month to take care of the old man, and that was still not enough for him? To show up at their son's one‑month celebration and slander them, how vicious."Their insults came at me from every direction, and my heart slowly turned cold.So Olivia had planned all of this for 3 years.No, she planned it before we ever married. She had already figured out how to get rid of me. Everything had been a lie. Even the excuses she used to deceive me had been carefully prepared.The last of my composure shattered. With trembling hands, I tore the marriage certificate to pieces as tears streamed down my face."Olivia, you lied to me."She shoved me away coldly."Stop talking nonsense. I barely knew you."She turned to the officers and said, "I would like to press charges. Nathan was men
Julian froze before turning to Olivia."Honey, was what he said true?"Olivia shook her head right away."Do not listen to this lunatic. He was trying to get revenge."Of course, Julian believed her."Nathan, we hired you to take care of my father, and you put him in the hospital. Now you came to my son's one‑month celebration to cause trouble. I will not let you get away with this."I looked at the man standing before me and slowly shook my head.Objectively, he was a victim, too, a man deceived into a sham marriage by Olivia.However, he was also the one who benefited the most from her lies.He took my job. He moved into my home. He spent every day by my wife's side. He drank the milk I never tasted, ate the milk candy I never had, and listened to music I never heard while talking about romance.He left the only burden in his life, his sick father, in my care for 3 years.While he enjoyed life, I was beaten by a deranged old man.While he lived his happily‑ever‑after, I s
Olivia quickly looked away and avoided my eyes as she frowned.At last, it was as though she had made up her mind. She tightened her grip on Julian’s hand."Fine. We will call the police."My entire body went cold.I wanted to ask her what the last 3 years had meant to her.Had she ever felt even the slightest bit guilty for what she had done to me?"Olivia..." Before I finished, she raised her voice."Shut your mouth."I hired you in good faith to take care of him, and you put him in the hospital. We have every right to call the police."After yelling at me, she dragged me into a corner and lowered her voice."Nathan, stop making a scene. I will explain everything once this is over."I shook my head.I did not want an explanation anymore.I had seen enough. I refused to believe a single word she said.However, Olivia never gave me the chance to respond. She cut me off and handed me over to the police."Officer, this caregiver abused my father‑in‑law and nearly killed hi
