Todos los capítulos de Leaving With a Divorce and a Body Bag: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

By the time I got the hospital bill, my son Charlie Hunt's body had already gone cold. The total was 500,000 dollars, covering emergency treatment, surgery, and the medical bills we'd accumulated over the years.The nurse told me to pay the bills as soon as possible and sign the form to release Charlie's body.I stared at the papers for so long that the numbers gradually blurred. That was when I realized I was crying again.I called Sebastian Boyd, only to find that he'd blocked me. His assistant, Henry Dane, called me back, though, his voice maintaining its usual politeness."Mrs. Boyd, Mr. Boyd is busy.""I only want 500,000 dollars," I said hoarsely. "Tell him that Charlie is dead. I need to handle his funeral arrangements."Henry fell silent for a few seconds, then he said, "Mrs. Boyd, Mr. Boyd said he won't fall for your scheme again."I gripped my phone tightly.I did actually lie to Sebastian three years ago. At that time, Charlie had just undergone his first heart surge

The lounge fell silent for a second.Maeve immediately pulled her foot back from my hand and rushed into Sebastian's arms, her eyes red."Sebastian, don't be mad at Amelia, okay? She got the wrong idea about our relationship, so she barged in here to find trouble with me."Sebastian steadied her and looked down at her reddened palm. "What happened to your hand?"Maeve quickly hid her hand behind her back, as if afraid she would implicate me. "Nothing. Amelia said she needed money urgently, so I gave her 100,000 dollars. But she said it was not enough and wanted another 400,000 dollars."She bit her lip, looking hurt. "When I said I didn't have that much cash, she called me a homewrecker and even tried to hit me."Maeve turned the tables on me with just a few words, painting me as a greedy lunatic who took her money and still wasn't satisfied, then caused a scene on set out of jealousy.Sebastian lifted his head and looked at me.My cheek was badly swollen, and blood trickled fr

Sebastian sneered. "She's quite the actress, huh?"Henry watched the video the bodyguard had sent, feeling increasingly uneasy. "Should I have someone stop her?"Sebastian fell silent for two seconds.Meanwhile, Maeve had just finished a take and walked over to him, a blanket draped over her shoulders. "What's wrong?""Amelia's making a scene with Charlie again."Maeve dried her hair, sounding casual. "She probably knows you're here with me and is putting on a show to get your attention. If you actually go over now, she'll definitely pull this trick again next time."The hesitation in Sebastian's eyes vanished.Three years ago, I had escaped to the train station with Charlie, using his follow-up appointment as an excuse.He had always believed that if given the chance, I'd disappear again. This time, he still thought I was lying to him.Henry asked again, "Mr. Boyd, are you sure we shouldn't send someone over?"Sebastian looked at Maeve's windblown hair, raised his hand and b

The moment the white sheet was lifted, Sebastian stumbled backward.My face was pale from being soaked in seawater, and there was an unhealed wound at the corner of my mouth. My right hand was swollen and split open, with several bruises from Maeve's high heels already turning purple.He'd seen those injuries yesterday, in the lounge. I'd been kneeling on the floor while Maeve stepped on my hand.Sebastian hadn't asked what happened. He'd just told the bodyguards to throw me out."This can't be." He stared at my face. "She's afraid of the water. She would never jump into the sea."The officers laid out my belongings—my old phone, ID card, hospital bills, and a pawn ticket—in front of him.The ticket listed my wedding ring's weight and price as 120,000 dollars.Sebastian stared at the numbers, then grabbed the staff member. "Where's her wedding ring? Did she remove it and hide it away?"One of the officers pointed at the pawn ticket. "The deceased pawned her ring. She transferre

That night, Sebastian had people dig through every record from the old house seven years ago. Donna had been dead for two years, and the phone she'd used had long since been disconnected.But the old house's logbook still contained a vehicle registration form.The day before Amelia broke up with him, Donna's driver had picked her up from work, then dropped her off at their rented house two hours later.The next day, Amelia packed her bags and left him. That same day, he got a call from Donna. She had agreed to let him come home and give him money to cover the debts he'd accumulated while starting his business.All those years, he thought it was because Donna had finally recognized his capabilities. But now, he realized the timing of Donna's change of heart was too much of a coincidence.Henry found that the butler who had managed the old house back then was named Peter Tate. After Donna passed, he quit and went back to his hometown.It was barely dawn when Sebastian rushed over t
