Lahat ng Kabanata ng After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Thus, I accepted my fate and transfused 600 ml of blood to Nicole. My whole body felt floaty and light when I got off the operating table.I propped myself up and walked to the door with the nurse's help. When I saw Austin, a lump formed in my throat. I choked up, saying, "Austin, I…Yet, Austin didn't spare me a glance and just walked up to the nurse beside me, asking, "How is Nicole?"I clenched my fists. Even though I knew how important Nicole was to Austin, I still couldn't help but feel aggrieved at this moment. I had transfused 600 ml of blood to his first love while I was pregnant with his child. Yet, he actually ignored me!Watching Austin anxiously ask the nurse about Nicole's condition, I lowered my eyes and pursed my lips. I tried to listen to what the nurse said, but the nurse's voice seemed to be fading away. At the same time, I felt lightheaded and some pain in my chest. Suddenly, I blacked out and lost consciousness.It was already dark outside by the time I woke up

When I dragged my suitcase and arrived at the main hall on the first floor, I coincidentally made eye contact with Austin, who was standing at the door.He looked at me before shifting his gaze to the suitcase in my hand. At once, he strode over and grabbed my suitcase from me. "You aborted our baby, and now you want to leave?"Pursing my lips, I clenched my fists and looked up at Austin. "L-Let's get a divorce."I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. After three years of marriage, this was the first time I acted on my own initiative and told him about my thoughts.In the past, I was weak and an easy target, but not anymore. Even if I had to live on the street, I refused to be a weakling who could be manipulated by others.Staring at me, Austin let go of my suitcase and sneered, "Divorce? Lumi, you aborted our baby. Yet, here you are, thinking of divorcing me instead of ways to make it up to me. You really got a lot of nerves, huh?"He stepped forward, picked me up, and put

Austin pulled me close. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he gazed down at me. Then, he bent down, carried me in his arms, and took me to the bedroom.Still holding me in his embrace, he frowned as he stared at me. "Why does it feel like you're pushing me into another woman's arms?"I studied his displeased expression, summoning the nerve to give him a cold, mocking laugh. "Then what's the point of moving Nicole in here? If she means nothing to you, why were you so desperate to save her—so much so that you risked my health for hers?"Austin, we've been married three years, and in all that time, you've never forgotten her. I know you only married me because your father forced you. I could live with that resentment, but don't pretend there's anything more here."Your family has done plenty for mine. We've taken our share of benefits, and it's time you stop hiding your feelings for Nicole. I've made myself clear already: let's divorce. You can be with your first love, and I can f

Nicole flicked on the bedroom light, and the sudden brightness made me squint.She stormed toward me and yanked my hair, eyes blazing with fury. "This is your idea of not clinging to Austin? Is this what you promised me?" she yelled. "Lumi, I never knew someone from such humble beginnings could be so cunning. You've barely recovered from your miscarriage, and here you are seducing Austin. Have you no shame?"Austin, half-dressed and disheveled, looked over at her with a frown. He still reeked of alcohol. "Nicole, you can't even conceive, so what right do you have to meddle in my marriage?"He continued, "I only brought you here to keep you out of trouble. You know the deal—without a child, there's no future for us. If you had carried that baby to term, you might still be the woman I wanted. But now, you don't even have a womb. So why the hell do you think you can control who I'm with?"He looked at her, his eyes bloodshot.She stared back, stunned, before breaking down into tears.
