Todos los capítulos de While I Was Dying, She Was Loving Him: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 8

When the speeding van sent me flying, I was completely dazed. My body was hurled into the air, then slammed hard against the ground.I could almost hear the sound of my bones snapping and my organs rupturing.Seconds later, searing pain radiated through every nerve in my body.The chaos around me flooded my fading consciousness like a roaring tide—the screech of tires, terrified screams, and then, a familiar ringtone cutting through it all.With the last of my strength, I fumbled my phone out of my pocket, raised it shakily to my ear, and gasped out between ragged breaths, "Blaire... I... I've been in an accident..."As I felt my life slipping away, a wave of terror crashed over me.What would happen to Blaire Kennedy if I died?I bit down hard on my tongue, forcing myself to stay conscious. "Blaire... if I don't make it through this... take care of yourself. Besides the house and the car, I've also been putting away a quiet savings account for you—a few hundred thousand in CDs.

After two weeks of my mother's devoted care, I was finally able to sit up on my own.The accident had left me with a moderate concussion, a shattered femur, and a ruptured kidney. Even the doctors said I was lucky to be alive—that I'd clawed my way back from death's door.To keep my mother from worrying, I threw myself into physical therapy every single day.Colleagues from the company came to visit in droves when they heard about my accident.What I didn't expect was for Blaire to show up among them—after disappearing for days.I froze.Ever since I'd brought up divorce on that phone call, she'd vanished like a ghost. She wouldn't answer my calls, wouldn't reply to my messages, and wouldn't sign the papers.I had no idea what she was playing at.After the colleagues filed out, Blaire stayed behind.She closed the door to my room, and her face crumpled into an expression of guilt and shame.She apologized, "I'm... I'm so sorry. I had no idea your injuries were this bad."In

I don't know what Dustin told Blaire this time. But the very next day, she showed up at my door."Jim, here's my offer: you go to the police and tell them this was all a misunderstanding—that Dustin never hired anyone to hurt you. In exchange, I'll sign the divorce papers and walk away with nothing."Look at my wonderful wife—so willing to sacrifice everything for another man.I sighed quietly and looked away.There's an old saying: you can't save someone who's determined to drown.I'd given her chance after chance, and she'd thrown every single one away.So be it. There was no more room for hesitation."Blaire, first of all—you have no leverage here. If I want you out of my life, it's only a matter of time. Second, stop wasting your breath. I'm not letting him get away with this."I had my assistant pack my things. I was checking out of the hospital.After more than a month of recovery, my doctors cleared me to continue healing at home.My mother, worried I'd be disturbed, t

My name stayed plastered across the trending charts for three full days.On the evening of the third day, I received a text from Blaire.My phone had long since been blown up by spam calls and hate mail, so she'd sent the message to my mother instead.Blaire: [Mom, please pass this on to Jim. We didn't want things to get this ugly. But he's been completely heartless. After all the years I gave him, he just decided to divorce me out of nowhere and wouldn't even offer me a penny in compensation.]My mother's face went pale with fury. "How does she have the nerve to ask us for money? She cheated on you, smeared your name in public, and now she's trying to ruin your entire future!"Seeing my mother this upset made my chest tighten."Mom, I'll handle this. Please don't get so worked up. You'll make yourself sick."It took a while to calm her down. Then I took her phone and called Blaire."Jim, we're way past the point of playing nice. So I'll make this simple: when is that five mill
