All Chapters of They Regret Losing Me Too Late : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Bella's POV "I swear under oath, I saw it with my own eyes." My husband's voice filled the courtroom. Logan Carter stood in the witness box. He did not look at me once. "My wife, Bella Carter, ran over the victim. She broke her legs on purpose." The room exploded in whispers. My knees went weak. "Logan," I said. "Logan, look at me. You know I didn't—" "Order!" The judge struck the gavel. Then my son stood up. Danny was only ten. His small hand shook as he pointed at me. "My mother doesn't care about people's lives." Sophia, my eight-year-old daughter, hid behind her brother and nodded. "Your Honor, give her the maximum sentence. Aunt Ruby deserves justice." Across the aisle, Ruby Weston sat in a wheelchair, both legs wrapped in white casts. Tears rolled down her pretty face. She was my best friend. We had grown up together for twenty years. When her husband and son died in a car crash, I was the one who brought her into my home. Now she lowered her head. For one second, I

Bella's POV "Where am I going?" I put the phone down on the table. "Is it any of your business?" Logan's face went dark. He dropped the bag of fruit on the chair. "Since when did you get this twisted, Bella? You dragged Ruby to a meat grinder. A damn meat grinder! She could have died." I turned my face to the window. "I'm talking to you." I said nothing. My wrists throbbed under the bandages. He didn't even look at them. Logan sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. "After all the years we've been together, you should trust me. Ruby is like family. Please don't get jealous anymore, okay?" His phone buzzed. He read the screen, and his whole face changed. He stood up at once. "I've got something more important to do, so I can't check you out today. Go home yourself." "Something more important?" I laughed, and it hurt my throat. "Really?" He was already out the door. *********** An hour later, a young nurse knocked and came in with a wheelchair. "Bella, let's go downstairs

Bella's POV This was my last night in this house. I sat on the edge of my bed and looked around the room. Ten years of my life lived inside these walls. Now everything I owned fit into one small suitcase. My phone buzzed. I answered on the first ring. "Bella, your flight is at eight tomorrow night," Evelyn said. "Do you want me to pick you up?" "No. I'll get there myself." "Are you sure?" "Very sure." I looked at the door. "There's something I have to finish first." I had just hung up when the door swung open without a knock. Ruby walked in holding a long white gown against her body. Blue stones covered the bodice and caught the light like a thousand tiny stars. In her other hand was the wooden music box. "Bella, look." She turned in a slow circle. "Your daughter ordered this gown for me. Beautiful, right?" I smiled. Her face twisted. "What are you smiling at? The man you've loved for over twenty years is marrying me tomorrow." I said nothing. She lifted the music box a
