MY CRUEL HUSBAND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

RELAXATION Anne's POV.Minutes later, we were driving toward the beach, the cool evening air sweeping through the open windows. For the first time in a long while, I felt a flicker of peace stirring within me.Eleanor looked at me from the driver’s seat and said, “Forget the crowd, forget Micheal. You are not defined by their lies. You are Anne—the woman who stood up when the world tried to crush her.”Her words echoed in my chest as we reached the beach. The sound of waves crashing against the shore filled the air. I stepped out of the car, feeling the cool sand beneath my feet, the salty breeze brushing against my skin.I looked around to behold the wonder of the beach. I firstly have God the glory of the natural environment. For the first time since my world shattered, I allowed myself to breathe freely. I walked around freely, leaving Eleanor behind as I advanced toward the shore of the beach. “I love this place,” I whispered, scanning and staring at the water that is waving fre

ATTEMPTED JOB APPLICATION.A week later when we visited the beach. I received an invitation message via my email for a job at a law firm I applied to through the help of Eleanor. The beach experience reverberated in my mind as if it was very present. It sounds as if it is an event that occurred yesterday. I pray in my mind that I should have another beautiful encounter and relaxation like that very soon. It relieved me of my problem and last betrayal.I blinked my eyes open as the sudden alarm of the phone hit my ears. I yawned and lifted my head up. I opened my eyes fully and scanned my phone around. I opened the screen as the message flashed through my eyes. I got an invitation for an interview. My leapt for joy. I jumped up from bed, as I looked again to read the message if I was wrong. But I still got the same message.“Wow!” I exclaimed, as I sank into the edge of the bed. Eleanor wasn't in the bedroom. I needed to share the news to her first. I hurriedly went out, slammed the

Anne's POV.“I'm going to work very soon.” Eleanor said, informing me of her excuse. I nodded and leaned backward. The suggestion seemed to assure me that it would work with her support.She rose, walking toward the bedroom. “I'm going to dress up for work.” I replied, without looking at her. “No problem.”I took the remote control, flipping through multiple channels before I settled for one. I love watching fantasy movies a lot. I found one and my heart leapt for joy. I am eager to be involved in a lot of things that keep me busy or that allow my heart to heal from the past marriage that still haunts me. I want to forget the past heart-broken. I don't want my mind to linger in that pain of regret anymore.So, watching movies that entertain, cause me to laugh and heal my broken heart became a priority for me. A sharp clicking of Eleanor shoes against the polished floor hit my ears. She was coming out of the bedroom toward me. I looked at the direction. She draped herself in an ele

ENCOUNTER WITH CRYSTAL Anne's POV I blinked slowly as consciousness began to return. A faint voice drifted through the haze of my half-sleep, pulling me back to awareness. My vision was blurred at first, shapes and colors blending together, but as my eyes adjusted, I realized two people were standing nearby, their low voices murmuring in conversation.I closed my eyes again, and opened it. I saw Eleanor having a warm conversation with the doctor. I am aware he is the new one assigned to me as the nurse announced earlier. Eleanor and him are busy and lost in conversation together, to the extent that they didn't notice that I am awake. They were murmuring so I couldn't hear them.I coughed very hard. They turned back in surprise as the sound hit their ears. I froze in surprise. “Crystal!” I shouted with surprising strength and voice. My eyes widened with the sight of him. I looked at him from head to toe, who put on the crisp white coat the doctor usually wore, under his blue tailor

INTIMACY Eleanor POV“What is this?” Anne yelled, her voice feral, echoed through the room, unfolding a piece of paper. Her brow furrowed.I quickly grabbed it with force from her. I unfolded it and read the short note written in clean, confident handwriting:“Get well soon, future lawyer.”— CrystalIt caught my heart and I opened my mouth in awe of what my eyes had seen. My hand rose to cover my mouth. I couldn't close easily. I lifted my gaze on her, who was staring at me with confusion.“”What?” I gasped in surprise. Has Anne had a relationship with the guy recently? Another surprising thing is that she discovered it from the drug the university medical center prescribed for her.“What is it?” She asked me, very nervous of what I had seen there. She stretched out her hand to grab it from me forcefully but I jerked my hand away from her. “What is written there now?“You didn't tell me the reason you refused to come to the hostel yesterday is because you are with a man.” I paused,
