The water in the bathtub submerged my head entirely.
Just ten minutes.
Clinical death... then there's no saving me.
I closed my eyes.
The darkness, the suffocation, it felt exactly like three years ago.
Carter had disappeared without a word. Unreachable.
His whole family was frantic.
When we finally managed to get a hold of his secretary, Mia, she told me in a panic:
Carter had gone to a rural county for a project.
His signal was lost deep in the mountains!
She suspected...
I called the police, but I was so terrified I followed the GPS pin Mia sent me myself.
A heavy blow to the back of my head.
When I opened my eyes again, I was tied up.
A man who only knew how to let out a sickening, guttural laugh was tearing at my clothes, muttering, "Rich man's wife... so pale... gonna make a great breeder."
I struggled.
I fought like a madwoman.
They brutally snapped my leg. I was barely breathing.
My clothes were in shreds.
I felt the cold air against my exposed skin.
His filthy, reeking hand clamped over my mouth and nose. I couldn't breathe...
Just a little bit more.
Just a little bit...
Splash—!
I violently sat up from the water, like tearing myself away from a years-long nightmare.
My ears were ringing.
Why? Why should I be the one to die?
I was the victim!
It was Carter who refused to believe me!
It was Carter who wanted revenge against me. For a whole month, I lay alone in the hospital.
No matter how I explained that no man had touched me, he wouldn't believe it!
He only wanted to believe what he saw!
He decided I ran off to the mountains and got myself kidnapped just to spite him.
He thought I was using my body to manipulate him.
But I was incredibly stupid.
Even while trying to "manipulate" him, I let those disgusting men take advantage of me!
My leg was tortured until it broke.
The only time I saw him, Carter stared at me coldly. "Played too hard and got burned. Are you satisfied now?
"You reap what you sow. Absolutely idiotic."
Then he left.
He ignored every single one of my calls.
Desperate to explain, I checked myself out of the hospital early, only to come home and find him in bed with Mia!
She was panicked.
He didn't even try to hide.
The pristine white sheets were stained with red blood.
Carter leaned against the headboard, lazily narrowing his eyes. "No need to look so upset.
"At least the person I found is cleaner than the ones you found."
