Chapter 6

Author: Hazel Lake
But Emily was still a step too late.

The moment she opened the window, my sleeve slipped through her fingers, falling like a broken butterfly onto the ground below. All that was left on her hands was mud—the same mud that had clung to me when she pushed me out of the car.

The impact left her dazed.

She stood there frozen for several seconds before the reality of what she'd just done sank in. Then she screamed my name and went stumbling down the stairs in a frantic rush, half-running, half-fal

  • Twice Betrayed   Chapter 12

    Emily did not catch up to me.But it was only a matter of seconds—no sooner had I gotten into the car than she rushed out the door.She chased after my vehicle for a long time. Only when she was completely exhausted did she finally stop, switching instead to calling my phone over and over again.I didn't answer.Yesterday, we had already gone to get the divorce certificate.I had told her that today we would hold the wedding first, then register the marriage afterward—double happiness in one day.She believed it, foolishly.I felt no joy in deceiving her—only an endless sense of emptiness.When I had lain on the operating table, ready to die, I heard the psychologist's voice urging me to live.During my therapy, my psychologist had already noticed my dependence on Emily and had gently warned me, but I refused to believe him.It was only on that operating table, hearing his words again in that moment between life and death, that everything changed.What made me choose life wa

    During that time, because I insisted on rebuilding our emotional connection, we slept in separate rooms.Then one day, while Emily was working, I walked over holding a plate of sliced mangoes and gave her a big smile."Emily, I think I'm starting to remember things."She froze. Her face showed nothing—no joy, no fear."I remember you love mangoes. You used to call me every day after work and ask me to cut some up for you."It was like someone dumped a bucket of ice water over her head. Her blood ran cold.The one who loved mangoes was Jessica.What I was remembering… was my life with Jessica.When I saw she didn't answer, I frowned."Why aren't you eating? Did I remember wrong? I clearly remember my wife loving these. Unless… I have another wife?""Of course not!" Emily shot back. "It's me. I love mangoes. I just… I was so happy I didn't know how to react."To prove it was really her, she forced herself to eat the mangoes in big bites. Almost immediately, red rashes broke ou

    A marriage certificate in that condition naturally didn't sit well with me.After "losing my memory", my temper got worse. I smashed everything I could get my hands on, my eyes red as I lashed out at her."You can't even keep our marriage certificate safe. You don't love me at all. I want a divorce."The word "divorce" sent Emily into a full panic.She dropped to her knees right there and started begging."It's my fault. We can get new ones. I'll take care of the replacements properly this time. Just trust me, okay?"In the end, after she got down on her knees more times than I could count and transferred me an eight-figure sum without a second thought, I finally agreed—on the day I was discharged—to go with her to reapply for the marriage certificate.When we got in the car, I chose the back seat.Remembering that I got motion sickness, Emily smiled and said, "Babe, did you forget you get carsick in the back?"I kept staring out the window without turning my head."I don't w

    I woke up on the third day after surgery.The second Emily saw my eyes open—she'd been camped out by my bedside for three days and three nights straight—she shot up and started firing off questions."Anthony? You're awake? Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"I hesitated.Under the blanket, my hand slowly curled into a tight fist.After a moment, I shook my head and asked, quiet and curious,"Who are you?"Emily froze.Then a wave of relief washed over her so strong I could almost feel it.While she'd been waiting for me to wake up, she'd been rehearsing apologies and explanations in her head. She'd even gotten ready to chase me all over again.She never expected me to lose my memory. To forget everything.And yet… that gave her a second chance.Trying not to look too excited, she said carefully, "I'm your wife. We just got married last week. Our wedding was supposed to be at the end of this month."She paused awhile, then added, "But a few days ago, you went up on the roof

    Emily's jealousy had completely consumed her.From that moment on, every single minute, every move I made, every word I said—it all felt like a provocation to her.The more she loved me, the more it hurt. The more it hurt, the more it turned into hatred.And Dylan kept feeding that fire, constantly whispering to her about my past with Jessica, baiting her with lines like:"Don't you think this is unfair?"You've loved Anthony for so long, but he only picked you as his second choice."If I were you, I'd definitely get even."The next message Dylan sent her was an address to a hotel.And unbelievably, Emily went.On her way home afterward, she still didn't forget to buy me my favorite dessert. She remembered my psychologist once saying that a moderate amount of sweets could help improve someone's mood.Watching me eat that cake with such a soft smile, Emily suddenly felt nothing but emptiness.Why? Why was she the only one suffering so deeply over me, while I stayed completely

    On the way to the hospital, Emily found herself just as I had once been—walking alone through the rain. Her mind, like his before her, was flooded with fragments of our past.We first met during her sophomore year.She'd collapsed from low blood sugar while running a test. I happened to be passing by and gave her the piece of candy I always carried with me.At the time, she had no idea I was the same guy her roommate Jessica had been chasing for six months.Instead, she fell for me at first sight and started chasing me hard.By the time she found out the truth, I was already with Jessica.The day she learned I'd gotten married, Emily cried the whole night.Then she got in her car alone and followed the wedding procession from start to finish.When she saw me carrying Jessica out of the car, she couldn't bring herself to come forward.
