They Will Fall At Her Knees 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

There’s a saying that blood is thicker than water. I think I was wrong. In bed with James was none other than Sheila—my own blood sister. At least, that’s what I believed. My lips trembled, and I didn’t know what to say. She grabbed the sheet and covered herself, while James wore a look of satisfaction. “Did you get that from me?” he said shamelessly, not caring how I felt. I was still in shock. How could she do this to me? Did our parents know about all this? How long had she been sleeping with him? How long had she been riding him? I had always kept calm, even when he brought other women home. But this time, I lost control. I rushed toward the bed and grabbed Sheila by the hair. She screamed in pain and fought back, scratching my face. “You shouldn’t be fighting—there’s enough of me to go around,” James said with a laugh as he got out of bed. I wasn’t thinking anymore—or at least, not yet. I glanced at the table and grabbed the vase. The bottle shattered on Sheila’

Revenge? Betrayal? Anger? I didn’t know what I was feeling when I got up. I was a woman who had lost everything. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what was going to happen to my marriage. It was quite obvious. I had lost the battle before it even began. [ Two Days Later ] James came home and dropped the paper on the table in front of me. At first, I didn’t touch it. I thought it was work-related. I don’t touch his things, and he doesn’t touch mine. I had stayed inside ever since my father threw me out. I still hadn’t seen the lawsuit my father had threatened to file against me. I kept checking my phone, thinking it was a faxed message from that so-called lawyer, but nothing. James walked into the living room, making the atmosphere a little tense. We hadn’t spoken since the incident. Not that we ever talked much anyway. “This is for you,” he said indifferently, sitting across from me. “I’m waiting for you to sign it and leave.” My hands trembled as I grabbed the brown paper co

I was now standing on the high bridge, with a stream of powerful rivers below. Many people walked past me, each going about their business. I could hear their voices. Not that I cared anyway. “She can’t jump. Have you ever seen anyone jump into the river? I bet she’s just doing this to get attention.” “And what if she does? We should try to stop her.” “And why should we care? I don’t give a damn if she dies or not. She should have just hanged herself and been done with it.” The world was cruel to me, even when I wanted to kill myself. My heart was beating faster than usual. I knew what I was doing, but it was the only option for a woman who had lost everything. Her home, her husband, and even the family she thought was on her side. In a flash, I jumped. The air filled my lungs as I gasped, but it was too late. I fell into the sea and hit my head against a rock. The current was so strong that I couldn’t fight for my life. Gbmm! Gbmm! That was the only sound I heard before

[ After three months ] Life had always been made of good and evil. Dennis was everything I could ever ask for. He was gentle, caring, and loving. He had managed to introduce me to everyone and had even said that we were married even though I hadn’t seen any pictures of our wedding. We had just finished a special event, and on the way back, he looked at me. “I want you to be ready, Lydia. My family is coming for me. And they will try to take everything my father worked for.” My heart tightened. I looked at his face, and I could see that he was scared. But how could I fight his battles when I hadn’t even overcome mine? Dennis squeezed my hands. “My father’s instructions were for me to get married. It was the only way for me to protect myself. That was his last wish before his death. I don’t know why, but I think I’m going to find out soon. But I want you by my side, I want the world to see the woman I love.” His words were bittersweet, but I had to know why his family was such a

The thrill of power surged through me like fire. For the first time in years, I felt untouchable.Every betrayal, every humiliation, every sleepless night of despair—it all pointed to this moment.I shut my eyes and I could remember all the pains. My nose bled again, and I tilted my head backwards, grabbing the nearest tissue to stop it.I opened the company folders carefully. Contracts, bank statements, property deeds… all under my name now.I don't know how Dennis did it, but he managed to get it all back.Money, power and wealth were intoxicating. I could see the fear and greed flicker in the eyes of those who had laughed at me for so long.Soon, they would kneel.The phone rang, breaking my concentration. I checked the caller ID.It was James.I let it ring. Twice. Three times. My finger hovered over the “decline” button before I finally picked up.I relaxed my body and tried to still my nerves."What is this madness? Who are you trying to threaten? Everything I have and own was w
