Where My Heart Was Wrong のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The ride was long, and it stopped many times. I watched them visit every single couple's spot along the way. I watched how they switch poses during a wefie. I watched how they exchanged thrilling, nearly romantic gestures in the haunted house, and I watched how they blushed just because they shared a drink in the theater.I followed them, even though everything I saw was torturing me. I did it as if a clearer look could kill my hopes and give me the courage to demand Chris for answers.In the end, they stopped before a daycare center. A child who looked just like Chris barreled into his embrace and loudly, lovingly called him 'Dad.'I was thunderstruck as I was stuck to my seat. Not only were they married, but they also had a child together. The family of three stood together, warmly, perfectly, just like a family.Meanwhile, I was nothing but a bug who was stealing glances at the happy family, with no chance to even present myself.My hand went to my belly. The scar was proof

Before Chris could say anything, a small figure charged right into me. "Don't bully my dad!"The child's hand hit the car, and I grunted in pain. I didn't even think as I shoved him away. Then, an even greater force nearly toppled me. A furious Chris roared, "Why would you do that to a child, Wendy?"I staggered and wobbled, but I finally stood still. Meanwhile, my stomach was screaming in pain. Nancy darted over and grabbed the child as she cried out piteously, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Wendy, but the child is innocent!"They defended the child, but they didn't stop him from screaming at me. "I'll kill you, you witch! I won't let you hurt Dad and Mom!"Chris' gaze was filled with warning. I met his eyes, and something mad drowned my mind. I mocked, "I wonder what might happen if your company finds out the perfect couple is actually…"Chris interrupted, "That's going too far, Wendy."I laughed until my tears came. I kept laughing until I felt my wounds being tugged. "Too

While the internet was busy buzzing about Chris, I had just regained consciousness in the hospital. And now, I was even being spoon-fed a meal my colleague, Jace Lexington, had brought me.The moment I moved my hand, a sharp, lingering pain shot up my arm. It was from the burn injuries left behind by the explosion. The spot on my wrist, where my watch should have sat, was now bare. It was rather symbolic as it was just like the love that had been taken from me. That was because anything of value, which included the watch, had been stripped away by the kidnappers.When I thought back to that moment, when I had my brush with death, my heart was immediately plunged with blazing hatred for Chris.Linda, who had come to visit me, let out a long sigh. "It's a good thing Jace noticed something was off that day. You hadn't replied to any of our messages for hours. It wasn't like you. He suspected something had happened and went to look for you."Taylor, who was standing next to her, nodd

Chris' expression darkened.However, Nancy paid it no mind, her composure completely unraveling as she raved like a madwoman. "Don't you dare say you never had feelings for me. I didn't force you. It was your choice to hurt Wendy Gray. "You're the one who caused her death. You're the reason why she doesn't even have a body to bu—"Chris set the frightened Eugene down, then shot his hand out and clamped it around Nancy's throat.Just as he was about to speak, she cut him off again. "You coward! You're the murderer here, not me! You killed her! Admit it!"His gaze turned colder, his voice low and deliberate. "She's not dead."Nancy's face had already turned purple from the lack of oxygen, but she still managed to choke out a mocking laugh. "So what if she isn't? We both know that she'll never forgive you for the rest of her life, even if she's alive!"Just then, the doorbell rang.Chris shoved her aside, his brows knitting together as he strode toward the door. When he answered

After filing lawsuits against both Chris and Nancy, I invited Jace out for a meal while we waited for the case to progress. After all, things had gone so smoothly this time largely because of his help. He had done so much for me, like tracking down evidence and finding the right people.Jace leaned back in his chair, his tone teasing. "So, Ms. Gray, I hear congratulations are in order. You can finally relax now, right?"Heat crept up my face as I smiled in gratitude. "It's thanks to you. Otherwise, Chris and his influence would've been enough to silence me and sweep the case under the rug."I had been promoted to technical director of the department ever since I returned from my business trip to Imperia.And as for Jace's real identity… Honestly, I had my suspicions long ago. He was clearly more than just an ordinary employee, but I hadn't called him out on it. Yet, he revealed it without hesitation.He blinked at me, a hint of mischief twinkling in his eyes. "If you really want
