All Chapters of He Saved His Patience for Another Woman: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When Ronaldo returned, I was in the middle of packing my few belongings. He glanced at the suitcase by the bed, and a flicker of impatience crossed his face."What kind of game are you playing now, Liliana? Trying to play hard to get?"I stopped what I was doing and looked straight at him. "Let's call off the wedding, Ronaldo."Ronaldo's face went pale for a split second. He yanked off his tie and said, "When are you going to outgrow these temper tantrums? Our marriage is like an alliance between our two families. It's inevitable."You know perfectly well that you were the one who upset Helena so much she fainted. That's why I left you there. You really should apologize to her."A lump formed in my throat.It turned out that every time I'd been accommodating and compromising with the person I loved, or patient and forgiving with my friends, they took it as permission to trample all over me. In the end, all anyone ever expected from me was an apology, no matter the situation.See

For the next two days, my stomach was all up in knots. I lay in bed, completely dazed and listless.On the morning of the third day, I was jolted awake by a cool, intermittent sensation on my face. As I sat bolt upright, I saw Helena quickly pull her hand behind her back."What are you doing?" I demanded.Helena lowered her head and began to sob softly."Liliana, please don't blame me. The public outcry has gotten so intense. So many people are demanding justice for me, insisting that I make you pay before they'll let this go."My heart lurched. I scrambled to the vanity.There, written across my face in large, bold characters, were the words, "I AM A LIAR."I scrubbed frantically at my skin, trying to wipe the words away.Helena approached timidly and caught my hands. She said, "Liliana, don't hurt your face by rubbing it so hard. It's a special kind of pigment that won't come off for a few days."The netizens said that since you love attention so much, this would serve as a

Ronaldo recalled the moment I had sent him that message.Helena had claimed that Anda was merely injured and receiving treatment at a veterinary clinic, insisting that I had only lied about Anda's death to get his attention. He also thought back to what Helena had said on the day I fell into the sea.For the first time, he began to suspect that he might have truly misunderstood me.The next morning, Ronaldo rushed to the veterinary clinic and sought out the veterinarian who had treated Anda.The vet looked at him, puzzled, saying, "Anda died two weeks ago. Why are you only asking about his condition now?"Ronaldo's heart sank even further. He demanded to see the footage from the time of Anda's death.In the video, I had my face buried against Anda's neck, sobbing so hard I could barely catch my breath.Anda struggled to turn his head, nudging my face with his nose, letting out faint, whimpering sounds from his throat.After Anda stopped breathing, I kept calling the same numbe

Two weeks slipped by in the blink of an eye, yet Ronaldo still heard nothing from me.One day, a subordinate handed him some data extracted from my phone, along with a recording."I've never done anything to wrong you. I even treated you like family, Helena. Why on earth are you doing this to me?"It was an audio recording I'd made when I confronted Helena back then.As he listened, Ronaldo's grip tightened, nearly crushing the recording device in his hand. He then heard Helena say, "Ronaldo believed every word I said. He even took it upon himself to write these beautiful words right across your face."He shuddered, as if struck by a sudden, heavy blow.In that instant, longing and deep remorse washed over him, and he tasted the sharp, metallic tang of blood rising in his throat.Ronaldo stormed into Helena's Famiglia's villa with his men in tow.Helena was overjoyed when she saw him. "Ronaldo!"But before she could even reach him, his bodyguards pinned her to the ground. A ta
