All Chapters of I Loved the Woman Who Ruined Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In truth, I had realized long ago that Sienna's mind was elsewhere. Every night, as she grew passionate beneath me, her brows would knit together. "Why are you so thin, William?"That was only because Sienna had felt another man's firm, healthy waist beneath her hands.I had once suffered a severe stomach injury in a fight and developed acid reflux. Sienna knew about it. She frequently didn't come home at night, claiming that a powerful new male boxer had shown up at the fight club. Her eyes lit up as she spoke, just as they had when she came to see me after getting out of prison years ago.I stayed until I had cried a flood, and only then did I decide to leave.I woke up to a heavy smell of disinfectant in the air. Sienna's assistant sat there looking uneasy, holding my chart. "Something came up at the fight ring today, so Ms. Quinton is busy... She'll be over right away..."I just smiled bitterly, brushed past her, and walked out. She had left our bed to go to him. How could I n

In the end, the cold water had cost me my kidney. I stared blankly at the ceiling, my heart completely numb.Sienna stared at me with a cold expression, her voice eerily calm. "It's better that it's gone. It saves you from constantly pestering me."I looked at her somewhat blankly, tilting my head. "Who are you?"In that instant, a brief silence hung over the hospital ward.Sienna's face turned livid. "Cut the act! You ruined me and my love life, making me spend my whole life making it up to you. What right do you have to pretend you forgot everything now, William?" She smashed her fists against the bed frame until her hands were raw and bleeding.I couldn't help but wonder if I was such a terrible person. I felt my heart skip a beat. I reached for her clothes on instinct, but she angrily shook me off, her eyes bloodshot. "Get lost!"Having said that, Sienna spun around angrily and left.In that instant, silence fell over the hospital ward once again. I clutched my sore side a

Third-Person PovSienna wasted away at an alarming rate after William's disappearance. One could even say she looked like a flower that was withering after losing its sun.She had always assumed that William was the one who couldn't live without her. She never imagined that she was the one who'd fallen harder.His scent still lingered on the clean bed; the doll he'd made himself was still perched next to the pillow; and his paintbrushes were still scattered in the studio. Everywhere she turned, she was met with echoes of him.She had never been so painfully aware that William had long become a part of her.He was like one of her ribs, so losing him felt as though she'd been put through the most excruciating torments one could barely hope to survive.And so, she drank herself into a stupor night after night, never setting another foot out of her home. She forgot all about the boxing ring and completely neglected her business.The fearsome woman who had once struck terror in the h

The woman was clearly still very young, but she sported a head of white hair as her eyes were dim with exhaustion.She grew agitated upon seeing me, causing the expensive camera in her hand to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.I also saw something else. The little finger on her right hand was damaged, just like mine.A dull ache inexplicably tugged at my heartstrings."Sir, do you know someone named Sienna Quinton?" she asked tremulously, studying my expression carefully.She looked as though her world would crumble if I told her that I didn't.I hesitated for a moment before answering firmly, "No, I don't."Then, I added, "Perhaps you've mistaken me for someone else? Why don't I ask Lara for you?"Her face turned stark white at that.She looked like a rather strong-willed woman, all things considered. Yet, she now looked as though she'd been abandoned by someone dear.Lara, who had been standing by the sidelines, stepped in front of me. Her face was icy as she spok

Lara and I returned to the city after the floods subsided.I still couldn't remember anything from my past. I couldn't recall my past with Sienna, nor did I have a clue how I'd first met Lara.Lara always told me it didn't matter. "William, I'm happy as long as you're safe and sound. You just need to know that the both of us love you very much."Her eyes sparkled when she said that. She looked beautiful.I couldn't help feeling that I'd once searched for that same sparkle in someone else's eyes.Alas, I'd forgotten all about it.Still, there were some things that I would never forget.I would remember the roiling golden wheat fields in that rural village, the brilliant blue skies overhead, the crystal-clear emerald waters, and the rosy cheeks of the innocent children I'd taught.I captured those sights in my paintings.I also drew the woman who'd disappeared beneath the raging waters, her hands outstretched as she lifted me to safety.I held a solo art exhibition and donated
