บททั้งหมดของ Lawrence Long Lost Love: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"Yes, I regret it," I said, staring straight at him. "I want a divorce, Lawrence Peterson."Lawrence blinked, caught off guard for half a second. Then a harsh sneer broke across his face."Is this another one of your pathetic games?" he taunted. "You honestly think if you bring up divorce, I'm going to beg you to stay?"I didn't answer. I simply reached into the drawer, pulled out the divorce papers I had already signed two years ago, and set them on the desk.Lawrence stared at me for a few long seconds. His jaw clenched tight. He grabbed the pen, snapped off the cap, and aggressively slapped his signature onto the bottom line."Let's see how long you can keep up this act," he growled, slamming the pen down. "When this falls through, don't dream for a second that I'll ever take you back."He spun on his heel and marched toward the door."Don't forget," I called out to his back. "We're going to the registry office to finalize it in three days."He paused in the doorway. "Fine

A dull, agonizing pain exploded in my lower abdomen. A broken whimper escaped my lips, and a wave of warm fluid trickled down between my legs. The world instantly went black.When I opened my eyes, a doctor was standing beside the bed, holding a medical chart."Have you been taking birth control pills long-term?" he asked, his forehead creased with concern. "There are severe internal lacerations down there as well. “Child, how could you be so careless with your own body?"I squeezed my eyes shut, holding back the burning tears. "I'm sorry."The doctor let out a heavy sigh, his tone softening with pity. "What's the point of apologizing to me? Your uterus was already fragile. After taking that hard blow to the stomach, we couldn't save the baby."My eyes snapped open.My heart felt as if it had been carved out of my chest, leaving a hollow, bleeding hole.With trembling fingers, I dialed Lawrence's number.A flirty female voice picked up instead. "Are you looking for La

When I calmly told him I no longer loved him, Lawrence froze. It took him a long moment to force out a response."Are you angry?" he rasped. "Because I didn't get you out first?"I stayed silent. Taking my silence as validation, he scrambled to explain."I only carried that girl out first to protect Vivian's necklace," he stammered, stepping forward. "The second I handed her off, I ran straight back to find you! I—""So my life isn't even worth a necklace?"Even though my heart was completely dead to him, a cold shudder ran down my spine as those words hung in the air.Lawrence went entirely rigid. He parted his lips, but no sound came out.I let out a long, exhausted sigh. "Lawrence, let's just end this miserable marriage. Stop torturing both of us."I never expected that the moment the words left my mouth, tears would spill from Lawrence's eyes.---The last time Lawrence had ever cried was at Vivian's funeral.Back then, he had wept profusely, losing every ounce of his

Lawrence sprinted straight to the hospital ward, only to find the bed empty. The nurse told him I had already been discharged.Desperate, he tried calling his close friend who managed airport logistics, standardly known among their group as Liam Reed. The call went straight to voicemail.Lawrence had no choice but to head to the private club where their circle usually gathered.The moment he stepped into the venue, a valet mentioned that Liam Reed and a few others had just walked toward the back lounge.As Lawrence approached the doorway, the sound of laughing voices leaked through the heavy mahogany door."Lawrence is out looking for you, Liam," someone sneered."Looking for me for what?" Liam snickered. "He's not actually pissed because I kicked that girl in the ribs, is he? She was the one who—"Before the sentence was finished, Lawrence smashed the door open and hit the room like a sledgehammer.Chaos broke loose.After beating Liam Reed until his face was bloody and swo

When he finally woke up, Lawrence found himself trapped in a pitch-black room. The wound on his neck had been carefully bandaged.He was kept in total darkness for what felt like days, his stomach twisted with excruciating hunger. When food was finally brought in, he devoured it frantically. But within minutes, severe allergic hives flared up across his skin, and his throat began to swell shut.Realization dawned on him. This was Arthur's punishment, forcing him to endure every single agonizing torment I had suffered at his hands.Over the following weeks, Lawrence was fed trigger foods daily. Whenever the reaction turned life-threatening, medical staff stepped in to treat him just enough to keep him alive.They stripped him bare, allowing heavy, intimidating men to mock and touch him freely in the dark.By the time the guards finally dragged him out, Lawrence had been broken down into a hollow, skeletal husk of a man."Get up," a guard snapped, throwing a clean coat over
