Chapter 1

When Ryan stabbed me five times, my white dress was quickly soaked with crimson blood. He pressed the bloodied knife against my vulnerable neck."Call David," he said. His hand trembled with rage.Pale-faced, I hesitated briefly before dialing, "I've been taken by Ryan. He's stabbed me several times, up on our neighborhood rooftop. Come rescue me quickly." My voice quivered.A moment of silence followed, then a response devoid of concern—cold and dismissive: "Really? What timing. Ashley falls apart and tries to kill herself, and now you're being stabbed," David said. His tone was utterly detached."How could Ryan possibly know our new address? I was so careful with my confidential work," he didn't believe me."Next time, try to come up with a more believable lie before your little performance, okay?" he said. The sarcasm dripped from his words.The icy words crackled through the phone. Ryan's dark eyes blazed with intense hatred, his grip tightening. A fresh crimson line appeared

After understanding the situation, my mother-in-law quickly said, "Ryan, please don't get agitated. We're the ones who wronged you. I'll call David right now and have him come. Don't hurt Rachel, she's nine months pregnant," she pleaded. Her voice trembled.Ryan paused, seemingly believing her words.She pulled out her phone with shaking hands.The other end of the call was noisy, with faint sounds of a woman crying in the background."What's happening? Rachel's been stabbed more than ten times and is barely hanging on. Why aren't you coming?" she said. She believed David would at least listen to her.Unexpectedly, David let out a light sneer, coldly laughing, "Mom, are you also playing along with her act? I just checked, and Ryan is still back in his hometown," he said. His voice dripped with disdain."Tell her to stop acting. If she's really in trouble, get her a doctor quickly. By the way, I've already arranged a burial plot. We can bury her anytime," he continued. His words w

"I can't stand Rachel. This time, she hired extras to act out a melodramatic jealousy scene. What's next? Will she actually kill someone or start a fire?" David said. He paused, looking at the surrounding crowd."She's so emotionally unstable. Remember to avoid her after our divorce," he continued. His voice was loud and deliberate."I'll make sure to divorce her within three months. Then I'll marry my love, Ashley! We'll share our happiness online and offline!" he announced.The crowd erupted in cheers, "Yes! We support you!""Some wives are just bad luck for us men!""We support you!"Under everyone's gaze, Ashley blushed and nodded, putting on the diamond ring that was much larger than the one I'd received. Her lips curved in a triumphant smile, showing no trace of her previous suicidal despair.I put down my phone and prepared to ask a doctor about my condition.Just as I reached the door, I heard my mother-in-law on the phone, "I've sent you the photos. Rachel's baby is go

David suddenly stammered, "I... what..." he said. He seemed unable to accept the reality that I was truly stabbed and our baby had died.I opened my mouth to speak, but collapsed into unconsciousness due to excessive blood loss.When I woke up again, my stomach wound was bandaged, and the doctor had hung an IV.David walked into the room casually when he saw me awake. The shock had vanished from his face, with no trace of guilt, just a dismissive glance, "I asked my mom about everything. Today was indeed my mistake. I didn't expect Ryan to actually find our neighborhood," he said."I'll treat you better from now on. Consider it compensation. Don't be sad about losing the baby. These are small matters. How can an unborn infant compare to someone who's lived for over twenty years?" he continued."Today, you did a good deed by letting me go save Ashley. She'll thank you," David said. He looked down at me, waiting for my approval.I frowned, staring coldly at him, "You think this is

We met a few times for dinner, and we both thought we were well-matched. We discussed marriage.The first year of marriage, David was incredibly cold towards me.My best friend joked, asking if David was gay. Or if he already loved someone else, which explained his indifference to his beautiful wife.I didn't overthink it. David gave me his monthly salary on time and didn't cause trouble. I thought life could be like this.After six months, I realized I was starting to like him.I began actively trying to improve our lifeless marriage.Knowing his rescue team work disrupted his diet, I made nutritious soups every day to soothe his stomach.He said he disliked housework, so I took over everything.He wanted a quiet sleeping environment and suggested separate bedrooms. I swallowed my hurt and gave him the freedom he wanted.Even when he lost twenty thousand dollars of our shared funds in stock trading, canceling my home renovation plans, I never complained.I thought he was jus

Chapter 6

He completely destroyed Ryan's career.After we moved to a new home, Ryan couldn't find an opportunity for revenge.Ryan said a woman contacted him by phone days earlier.She revealed our home address and even helpfully booked round-trip tickets for him.Ryan wouldn't have been driven to murderous intent just for being replaced at work.But after being forced to leave his job, Ryan had been struggling financially.A month ago, his five-year-old son died in a car accident.Unable to pay for surgery, the hospital refused treatment, and his child passed away.When the woman contacted Ryan, his grief transformed into a desire for revenge.The police keenly pulled out Ashley's photo, "Was it her?" they asked.Ryan furrowed his brow, "The eyes look similar, but she was wearing a mask and hat," he said.Learning this, I suddenly understood everything.No wonder Ashley conveniently had a depressive episode that day, dramatically threatening to burn down her rental apartment!It wa

She dropped to her knees with a thud, her eyes turning red, crying pitifully, "Why are you still trying to destroy me? I've stayed far away from you," she said. Her voice trembled."When you first told me to stay away, I immediately paid the deposit to move. When you said you were jealous of David's treatment of me, I immediately distanced myself from him and even generously let him go. Why are you still spreading rumors about me? Are you trying to drive me to death?" she continued.Ashley's outburst drew a crowd in the hallway.Onlookers, confused by the situation, immediately began pointing and whispering."How pitiful. She's kneeling to you. What more do you want?" one said."I recognize this. It looks like severe depression. She's probably telling the truth," another commented."This woman is so cruel. No wonder she's in the hospital. Even God can't stand her," a third added.Ashley lowered her head, a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth.When she looked up again, she w

David glanced at me coldly, "I believe her! She would never lie to me. You're spreading rumors about her, and I only learned the truth by questioning her," he said.I stared at him, unable to tolerate him for another second, "David, honestly, let's get divorced," I said."Just looking at you makes me sick. I was truly blind before," I continued.I should have brought this up earlier, but he'd been in jail, making it impossible to contact him.David paused, about to speak, when his phone suddenly rang.After a brief conversation, his face changed, "What? Someone filed an official report against me? Who?" he said."Fine, I'm coming right now," he continued.I smiled slightly.I knew David had just been released.So I deliberately filed an official report with his rescue team today.Before he could hurriedly leave, I called out, "David, didn't I tell you I'd make you pay?" I said.David frowned but still turned to leave.In the afternoon, I received a call from the property ma
