In the luxurious bedroom, a gentle-looking woman sat stupefied on the big bed, and happiness was written on her face but only for one second, before it was squashed by the man on the other end of the phone. “Jason, I am pregnant with…”
He doesn’t let her finish, “Ciara, let’s divorce.”
Ciara was shocked. This isn’t what she expected her husband to say. He was expecting him to be over the moon. “Jason, what did you just say?” She asked him again. She really needed him to answer her. “What do you mean we need to get divorced? Didn’t you hear what I just said? I am pregnant. What am I not doing right?” She was now flustered and panicking. How could he ask for a divorce at a time like this? Shouldn’t he race home to be with her to celebrate? Her heart broke when he didn’t answer her. A million things raced through her mind. She needed to save her marriage. Her tone changed. “Jason, I’m sorry if I have done anything to upset you. Please tell me what I did wrong so I can make it up to you.”
She is pregnant with their baby. How can he divorce her now? What about the baby? What about their baby? Surely he’ll change his mind.
But she underestimated the man’s coldness.
“Ciara, April is pregnant.”
At this moment, those words not only shattered her already broken heart. They also destroyed her world. They turned her world upside down. She was in a warm room, but Ciara suddenly felt like she was in an ice-cold house. It suddenly felt like winter right in the middle of summer.
Pregnant? April is pregnant? How could Jason do this to her? Why would he go out and impregnate his mistress? How could she be pregnant at the same time she’s also pregnant? And now just like she was sharing Jason’s time and attention with some woman, her baby would also have to share his or her daddy’s attention and love with another child? How could Jason do this to her? To their unborn baby? How could he be so careless?
Her mobile phone fell to the ground, and Ciara just sat there for a long time until she fell asleep. When she woke up again, April sent her a photo of herself sitting on a big bed with a big belly, she was leaning against Jason. The woman smiled like a flower. And the man behind her was handsome. With the baby in her belly, they were a happy and complete family.
Happy family? No, Jason promised her that. He vowed that he will build a happy family with her. He didn’t mention anyone else.
Then what is she? What the heck is she? Is she just a normal wife whom he was forced into marrying? What about the baby she’s pregnant with?
At this moment, Ciara was furious, seeing that photo stung her eyes and she lost all her reasoning. She immediately rushed to April’s address, even though she knew that April sent the photo on purpose, to provoke her. She had to teach that shameless b***h a lesson.
She’s been quiet, it’s enough. Now she has to fight back. She was Jason’s wife, she was the real and known Mrs. Arnold. Why should she be provoked and mocked by a mistress this way?
“Ciara, why are you here, you…” April didn’t even get a chance to finish what she was saying. As soon she opened the door, she was slapped by Ciara
“Pa--!” Ciara slapped her before she could pretend to be pitiful. And her face was instantly swollen.
Ciara looked at her coldly and asked, “Are you pregnant with Jason’s child?”
April covered her very red and swollen cheek with her hand, and tears fell before she spoke, “Ciara, Ciara, please listen to my explanation, Jason and I... We... I really love Jason, anyway, you are not able to fall pregnant, I beg you, please help our family of three?”
But if she helps April, who will help her?
Ciara looked at this woman with crimson eyes, and her eyes were full of disgust, “Why should I help a mistress who destroyed my family?” Ciara was furious.
When April saw a man coming downstairs, she quickly held Ciara’s hand and she begged her, “Ciara, I really love this man, please, please don’t make me abort his child, okay?”
“Don’t touch me,” said Ciara with disgust as she pushed her hand away, “Seeing you makes me sick. Stay away from me!”
“Ah--!” Suddenly April fell to the ground and she screamed in pain. And when she saw the blood on her thighs, she looked pale and her screams turned into an ugly cries.
“My child, my baby…”
“April, April, what’s wrong with you?” Asked Ciara in a panicked voice.
Jason ran down the stairs when he heard April’s panicked cry. And when he saw what was happening, he hugged her and organized for her to be taken to the nearest hospital immediately. And while they were still waiting, Jason turned to Ciara who looked pale with his dark eyes looking at her in eyes full of disgust and in an accusing tone, “Ciara, I really underestimated you.”
“I, I didn’t,” Ciara looked at the floor with trembling hands, and immediately came forward to explain what really happened.
“Ah Jason, I didn’t push her, not me, but she fe…”
“Did she slap her face herself?” Jason looked at her with dark eyes, full of disgust. “Ciara, two years ago, you came up with a plan to trick me by climbing into my bed, and I was forced to marry you.” And then he continued, “But I told you, don’t try to make me fall in love with you. A woman like you has no right to interfere in my private life. If anything happens to my unborn child in April’s belly, I will personally make sure that you are buried with the baby!”
After he gave her the warning, he held April so they can leave. Ciara had tears in her eyes and immediately ran up and tugged at his arm tightly: Jason, listen to me, she sent photos to provoke me first, and I am also pregnant…”
“Jason, my stomach hurts.” Cried April suddenly.
April’s weak voice interrupted Ciara’s words, and Jason hurried anxiously towards the door right away.
“Jason, listen to me, I am pregnant with our child…”
“Get out of here--!” He shouted furiously.
After Jason put April in the car, Ciara didn’t give up on telling the truth about what really happened a few minutes ago. But she was pushed away by her cold and disgusted husband, and she fell to the ground hard.
There was a dull pain gradually coming from her lower abdomen. She frowned in pain and covered her stomach: “Ah Jason, ah…” She tried to get up but she fell on the ground weakly and wanted to ask her husband for help, but her husband had already driven away with his mistress.
She endured the pain in her belly and tried calling a taxi with her mobile phone. Just as she was opening the taxi app, a car happened to pass by her.
“Save me, save me, please save my child!” She tried to scream but her voice didn’t come out. An idea quickly popped into her head and she turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and kept waving it in the rear-view mirror of the car. The car suddenly stopped, and the driver reversed to where she was. He opened the door and rushed towards her. He carried her to the car.
“Please, take me to the hospital,” she weakly begged the driver. The darkness made it hard for her to see the driver clearly. But she wasn’t really bothered by that. All her attention and worries are on her unborn child, and she has no time to worry about anything else.
The driver didn’t speak, nodded and went back to the driver’s seat to drive.
But Ciara gradually saw that the driver was going in the wrong direction.
“Where are you taking me? I want to go to the hospital!” She screamed.
A huge panic enveloped her. She covered her lower abdomen tightly with her hands and questioned the driver anxiously.
“Where are you taking me!”
“Where?” The driver sneered, and his cold voice seemed to be the call of hell demons. “Mrs. Arnolds, Mr. Arnolds, asked me to give you a ride... to hell.”
“Farewell.”
Right after saying that, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped, and the driver lost control.
Ciara pupils were dilated, and her eyes were red and almost like they were bleeding: “You are crazy! Stop the car!!!”
She kept pushing the door desperately, trying to escape, but the car quickly hit the guardrail, and the driver opened the door and jumped before falling off the cliff, while she flew off the road with the car and fell into the deep sea. Before losing consciousness, the last thing on her mind, were words coldly said to her by her husband, “If anything happens to the child to my unborn child in April’s belly, I will personally make sure you’re buried with the baby!”
Jason, it turns out that you weren’t really just talking because you were angry. You meant those words from your cruel heart. Even if I die, I will turn into a spectre and ask for your life-!
