10 Chapters

Chapter 1

Justine's POVI quit the live stream.I stared at the table full of food, and yet, the first thought that came into my mind was that the food was getting cold and I had to reheat it.I struggled to lift my head and stared blankly at the frantically flashing red dots on the security cameras.Back then, my husband, Mitch Cooley, had been worried that I'd try something stupid again and installed CCTVs all throughout the house to keep an eye on my safety. He even installed an alarm system that would ring if I tried to sabotage anything.He would cross 5,000 miles just to find me if he realized that I was missing from the cameras, abandoning projects worth billions of dollars overseas. But now, the cameras only felt like countless prying eyes fixed on me.I couldn't stop trembling as I smashed dozens of the cameras to pieces.But half an hour passed, then an hour, then two. My phone still remained silent as though it had already lost its function.When Mitch finally came home, he sa

I didn't know who brought me to the hospital. I just knew that I heard the nurses' gossiping voices floating in through the door."That's her. She was covered in blood all over her body. We nearly couldn't get all the glass shards out of her.""How disgusting. I heard that she did it because she found out about her husband and best friend having an affair. Apparently he also hasn't slept with her in a long time."Mitch marched into the ward. His eyes weren't red or tinged with worry. Instead, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Must you resort to such a disgusting method to vie for my attention?"How could you be so selfish? Don't you know what everyone is saying about Lexie now? Are you finally happy now that you've ruined her reputation?"As soon as his words were out, Lexie entered the ward with a bouquet of fresh flowers, her eyes red and puffy. Mitch's breathing turned flustered.I finally saw the intense scratch marks on his arm, and the intense network of hickeys decorating Lexie

I remained there, completely stunned.Meanwhile, Lexie suddenly wrapped her arms around Mitch's neck and beamed from ear to ear."So, this was your surprise for me! Thank you so much, Mitchie!"I felt a chill run down my back. My lips trembled as I asked bewilderedly, "What is the meaning of this?"Mitch replied, "The baby is Lexie's. She wanted another girl, but she hurt her womb three years ago after giving birth to our son."He said it so calmly as though he were just describing something as uninteresting as the weather.I shuddered hard as tears fell from my eyes.Three years ago? It was the year I'd had to be hospitalized 32 times. But he cut himself 32 times and begged me to pull through each time—while Lexie was already pregnant and giving birth to his son.Despair and madness surged through me. I immediately slammed my fist into my lower abdomen multiple times. The intense pain immediately began to spread.Mitch's face fell at once."Are you out of your mind?" he scre

Mitch pried open my jaw roughly and demanded that the family doctor bring a stiff, cold feeding tube, which he personally grabbed and forcefully shoved into my nostrils."Make her throw up everything she just swallowed. And make sure the baby is not hurt."My throat spasmed violently. I tried to scream, but I could only manage to sob brokenly.The stomach that he once painstakingly nurtured and helped recover was now thoroughly ruined.I didn't know how much time had passed before they yanked out the tube from my nose like I was a dead animal. My mouth was still glistening with bile juice and vomit.Mitch then supported my weak body and said. "Good. Finally you've got everything out."The fear in his voice and the loss of control of his expressions felt like a knife stabbing into my heart. But the more he cared about it, the more my heart ached.Eventually, he had the man throw me into an empty bedroom on the second floor.Mitch then walked in with a high-resolution photograph

Chapter 5

Third-person POVThe glass window in the room was completely shattered, with glass fragments scattered across the floor. The shards on the floor were stained crimson with blood, and several bits of bloody flesh even clung to them.Mitch was completely frozen to the ground. His gaze was fixed on the window. His limbs turned ice-cold, completely devoid of all warmth. He simply could not move.Sarah's face was indifferent as she looked away. Her tone was flat as if she were stating a mere fact, even though every word she said was chilling and cruel."Don't bother looking for her. Justine's dead."Mitch still hadn't recovered from his shock when he trembled again at her words. His pupils constricted abruptly.A split second later, he threw his head back and burst into guffaws. However, the corners of his eyes were pooling with tears."You're lying! What's the point of colluding with her just to lie to me?"I know that she doesn't want to give birth to that baby. Fine, then, I won't

Chapter 6

Lexie saw Mitch's bloodshot eyes and clenched fists and decided to add more fuel to the fire. She gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "I'm telling the truth! Why else would Justine suddenly sign the divorce papers? Why else would she have left like this?"She's just feeling guilty toward you and can't bear facing you now. These are all traces left behind from her affair with someone else!"Mitch went silent for a long while. Finally, his anger burned the last of his rationale.He gritted his teeth and laughed through his tears. His voice was so hoarse that it sounded like he'd use sandpaper on it."Really, Justine Gardner? You dare to do this to me? Brilliant! Just brilliant!"Stop all of her mother's hospital bills! And nobody is allowed to go look for her!"Sarah looked at him in disbelief. Her face turned pale and grim when she saw her own son consumed with hatred and jealousy. Her eyes turned red, and she opened her mouth to speak."You're out of your mind! Just

Lexie hesitated for a while, her eyes swirling with intense resentment and possessiveness as she stared at Mitch."Say, do you think Justine will throw a huge fit if I sleep with you tonight?"Mitch's heart pounded against his chest. He froze completely, feeling absolutely stunned.His mind was in turmoil in the dim light of the bar. He was overwhelmed with alcohol and a strange sense of disorientation, and he mistook this shadow for solace.After all, Justine had stopped having sex with him ever since that incident.And so, Mitch crossed the line with Lexie that night in a moment of heat and passion.Since then, everything began to change subtly. Mitch realized that he was having a change of heart, and he was starting to naturally notice Lexie more often. His patience and gentleness toward Justine also gradually ran out.In fact, he began giving her the cold shoulder and neglecting her. He was the one who had pushed her away from himself.Mitch gripped Justine's phone in his h

Chapter 8

Lexie never expected Mitch to ask her that. Her heart dropped into her stomach as she stammered her answer, "Oh, I meant she's left you… I didn't mean that she was gone as in 'dead'…"She still thought that she'd executed everything flawlessly."Like how things used to be?" Mitch echoed her last line in a low voice. He then withdrew his arm from her hold and suppressed the anger in his eyes. "Did you really think that things between us could actually go back to how they used to be?""Of course!" Lexie said, completely oblivious to the change in his emotions. She even stomped her feet playfully and said, "You used to shower me with love the most. You'd always forgive me no matter what I did."Even if I made some mistakes in the past by accident, you'd still forgive me for everything, wouldn't you?"She eagerly waited for Mitch to answer her tenderly and lovingly, fantasizing that he would still cherish her and treat her carefully like he used to.She was so engrossed in her daydre

Chapter 9

Justine's POVI was prepared to die the moment I fell off the building.However, fate shone its favor upon me. I ended up landing on the 18th-floor balcony four floors down and survived somehow.Whilst the nurses changed my dressings in the ward, I asked in a hoarse voice, "Who saved me?"The nurse was delighted to see that I was awake."You're finally awake! You're so lucky that Mr. Schmitt happened to bump into you!"Mr. Schmitt?"While staring blankly at the ceiling above me, a shadow fell over me just then, and I shifted my gaze to the person in disbelief.It was him. Caleb Schmitt.I had once been cornered by a gang of street thugs when I was younger, and I hadn't been able to get hold of Mitch on the phone. It was Caleb who saved my life back then, scaring the thugs away.He was dressed immaculately in a suit as he silently handed me a gold-embossed business card with cool fingertips."Just call this number if anyone dares to bully or threaten you again."My mind had

Chapter 10

The 99 hills were rugged and difficult to traverse, and the thought of anyone climbing every single one of them on their knees was truly torment and humiliation.However, Mitch hung on to what I said like he was clutching at straws. He nodded at once without any hesitation."I'll go. I'll climb all of them on my knees as long as you'll just give me a second chance!"Five days later, he mustered the last bit of whatever strength he had left and slowly made his way to my doorstep.He looked at the tightly closed door and collapsed to the ground, his voice hoarse and broken and filled with exhaustion and humility."Justine… I climbed them all… I climbed all 99 hills on my knees… I did it…"His knees were so badly bruised and bleeding that he could barely stand upright. He staggered back to his feet and waited anxiously like a prisoner on death row waiting for his punishment.However, the only response he got in return was deathly silence.He strained his ears and heard the sound o
