Chapter 8 I Can Finally Go Home

Author: James Xander
Dylan pulled a tissue from his pocket and carefully tried to wipe the blood from my forehead. "I'm sorry, Avery. I didn't mean to. I just... I was just so afraid of losing you."

I turned my head away, avoiding his touch.

He had done something similar years ago. He had crouched down the same way when I scraped my knee back then.

He cleaned the cut, applied a bandage, gently blew on it, and asked me if it hurt.

His eyes had been full of genuine concern for me at the time.

  • Wrong Woman to Humiliate   Chapter 8 I Can Finally Go Home

    Dylan pulled a tissue from his pocket and carefully tried to wipe the blood from my forehead. "I'm sorry, Avery. I didn't mean to. I just... I was just so afraid of losing you." I turned my head away, avoiding his touch. He had done something similar years ago. He had crouched down the same way when I scraped my knee back then. He cleaned the cut, applied a bandage, gently blew on it, and asked me if it hurt. His eyes had been full of genuine concern for me at the time. Now, all I saw in his eyes were deep wells of guilt. Even worse, he was only feeling guilty because he had lost everything and saw me as his last way out. "You used to care about me," Dylan murmured, as if he hadn't noticed me pulling away. "When we lived in that tiny apartment, my hands cracked from the cold in winter. You put them in your pockets and warmed them with your body heat. When I came home late from work, you always left a light on for me and made hot soup for me. "We were so good back then.

    I used every ounce of strength I had left and slapped Dylan across the face. The crack echoed through the hospital room. His head jerked to the side as he pressed his hand to his cheek, looking at me in shock. My voice shook with fury. "Dylan, get the hell out!" I looked him dead in the eye. "The biggest mistake I've ever made in my life was marrying you." Steven quickly signaled the bodyguards, who then forcefully dragged Dylan out. The moment the door clicked shut, his screaming and desperate pleas disappeared with it. I leaned back against the pillows, breathing hard as a sharp ache spread through my lower abdomen. I stayed in the VIP suite for the next few days. Steven assigned four bodyguards to stand outside my room at all times. Unauthorized visitors were strictly prohibited, no exceptions. After Dylan was fired, he became a complete joke in the industry. His name was blacklisted nationwide, so no company would dare hire him. The network he had spent yea

  • Wrong Woman to Humiliate   Chapter 6 My Husband Who Blamed Me for His Cruelty

    I watched them with blank eyes as their pathetic and humiliated broke down in tears. Yet, I felt nothing. I felt utterly empty. There was no satisfaction, no desire for revenge, only exhaustion. Steven helped me up, one arm supporting my weight while the other instinctively protecting my stomach as he rushed me out of the office. We got into the car and headed straight for the hospital. He held my hand tightly in silence throughout the entire tense journey. I could feel the tremor in his palm, revealing he was hurting even more than I was. In the VIP hospital suite, the doctors carefully stitched the cut on my forehead and ran a full examination. Steven sat beside the bed, shoulders slightly hunched. The once untouchable, powerful businessman now appeared utterly shattered. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was marked by guilt. He reached out and gently touched the bandage on my forehead. His voice came out rough. "Avery... this is my fault." He swallowed hard and a

  • Wrong Woman to Humiliate   Chapter 5 The Day My Brother Exposed Them

    Steven stood there in a black suit, the look on his face was cold enough to freeze the air around him. Those sharp eyes, the ones I had only ever seen during business negotiations, were locked on me as I curled on the floor. This was the first time I'd ever seen rage and pain in them. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried enough authority to silence the entire office. Everyone froze. The same people who had been kicking me, insulting me, and laughing at me now stood stiffly in place. Their hands were still raised, but their arrogance was quickly turning into fear. I lay on the floor as blood ran down my forehead and into my eyes. My whole body hurt as if it had been taken apart, and I could feel a dull, dragging pain from my abdomen. Vanessa was the first to react. She immediately released my hair and replaced her vicious expression with a pitiful, innocent look. Then, she hurried toward my brother, lowering her head like a perfect little victim. "Mr. Whitmore, you're m

    Vanessa burst out laughing. "If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. If you were really the CEO's sister, would you be living this pathetic little life?" Dylan frowned, disappointment written all over his face. "Avery, when did you become this kind of liar?" I stared at their contemptuous faces, shaking with anger. Dylan's executive position? I had begged my brother to give it to him. His connections? I had built them for him from square one. Everything he had now existed because I had paved the road behind him, and this was how he treated me. What a joke. Dylan tightened his grip on my arm, his eyes turning vicious. "Come on. We're going to the hospital right now, and you're getting rid of that bastard." Ryan immediately stepped in front of him. "Let her go. If you hurt her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." The coworkers around us were clearly intimidated. "That's the CEO's assistant," someone muttered. "He has serious power." Alas, V

  • Wrong Woman to Humiliate   Chapter 3 The Secret He Turned Against Me

    Ryan arrived in a perfectly tailored suit, radiating the kind of cold authority that made people instinctively step back. "Vanessa's termination was made by the company. If anyone has a problem with it, you can take it up with me." Everyone knew Ryan spoke for my brother. The second his gaze swept the room, the same coworkers who had been screaming insults moments earlier suddenly lowered their heads and went silent. Only then did Ryan step toward me. "Ms. Whitmore, do you need to go to the hospital?" I shook my head. I just wanted to leave. Before we could do so, Vanessa's pitiful voice rang out behind us. "Mr. Lowe, you work directly with the CEO. Why would you personally come all the way here for some branch office issue?" She bit her lip dramatically. "Unless Avery means something to you." Then, she turned to the crowd. "Actually, I've seen them together before. They were alone, grabbing coffee and looking way too at ease with each other." She sighed. "I didn't
