A Song Exposed His Betrayal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Even though every feature of Charlie's face was so familiar to me, as I looked at him now, he felt like a complete stranger.Frowning at the pathetic state I was in, he pulled me up with a practiced gentleness.Then, dropping to one knee, he meticulously adjusted my prosthetic back into place.A bitter sting hit the back of my nose, and I fought to keep the tears back. "Why did you lie to me?"After a full day of busking, my voice was completely shot. It sounded grating and raw.Charlie's grip suddenly tightened, and a sharp flare of agony from my residual limb made me gasp.His tone turned ice-cold. "You shouldn't have shown up in front of Denise."He thought I had confronted her on purpose.I stared at him in utter disbelief. Tears trembled on the edge of my lashes."If you hadn't been playing poor this whole time, do you really think I'd choose to drag my ruined leg around the streets just to busk for a living?"I lost control and shoved Charlie, but he caught my hand and,

The blood rushed to my head in a deafening roar. I scrambled blindly back to Dad's ward.He was still unconscious. And there I was on the TV screen, completely stripped of my dignity, groveling on the floor and begging Denise for forgiveness.The clip had already made the rounds on the news. Everyone was labeling me a shameless parasite who dragged down the reputation of the disabled.A wave of bitterness washed over me as I gently tucked Dad in. Holding back my tears, I pulled the plug on the TV.A noise at the doorway made me turn. It was Denise. Her face was twisted with pure malice."You tried to steal my man and almost killed my baby. Did you really think an apology would get you off the hook? Your whole family is trash. You all deserve to die."A cruel smirk spread across her face. Before my horrified eyes, she reached out and ripped the oxygen tube straight out of Dad's nose."No!"I lunged forward like a feral animal, but her bodyguards pinned me on the ground.Dad's h

The moment the name left their lips, a deafening roar exploded in Charlie's head.It felt as though a sledgehammer had struck him, instantly numbing all his senses.The strangers' voices sounded as if they were drifting in from a great distance."That poor lady was too foolish. She stayed by that man's side for nearly a decade, quietly supporting him without any official status. Anyone else would have smelled a rat."If he really loved her, how could he string her along for ten years without getting married? The guy was definitely hiding something!"The other person looked puzzled. "But the internet says the one who jumped was actually the mistress. The real wife is some wealthy heiress. She even posted their marriage certificate. How can you be so sure this Rachel wasn't the homewrecker?"Before the stranger could finish, Charlie snapped back to reality and fiercely cut them off. "She wasn't! She was never the homewrecker!"The two bystanders jumped, eyeing Charlie as if he had

Denise had clearly hit a nerve. Charlie lunged forward and clamped his fingers hard around her throat."How dare you? You sent those thugs to beat Rachel, didn't you? You were the one who ripped out that oxygen tube and kept lying to my face, claiming she was smearing you! Denise, did you honestly think you could sweep all of this under the rug?"Her face turned red under his grip, but she stared back at him with pure derision. "So what? You still let yourself be led around like a fool all this time, didn't you?"Charlie, all I lost was a boy toy I used for a little fun. As long as I have money, I can find a hundred more just like him. But you? You threw away a woman who loved you and stood by you for nearly ten years!"She endured the darkest days of your life with you, and your reward to her was abandonment. She lost her leg for you, gave up everything that ever mattered to her, and from start to finish, you did nothing but push her deeper into the abyss!"I might be a monster,

I looked down at Charlie. I had no idea what he was trying to do.Despite all the agony I had endured while alive, looking at him now, I did feel a shred of gratitude.Because he had saved Mom.Though Denise had shoved her so violently against that concrete corner, knocking her out cold, Charlie's people had finally arrived in the nick of time. A few minutes later, and Mom wouldn't have made it either.When she learned of my death, Mom had wept until her heart broke. She had screamed as she threw Charlie out of her sight.With bloodshot eyes, Charlie hadn't dared to linger. He just left behind a massive sum of money for her.Watching Mom grieve tore me apart."I'm so sorry, Mom. I couldn't bring you happiness while I was alive, and now I've left you with this unbearable burden in death. Mom, please forget about me. Take the money and live out the rest of your years in peace."Charlie stopped before a pristine, completely blank tombstone.He pulled out a pocketknife, pressed hi
