Nancy will never give up easily on what she wants.

I heard that her abusive husband was found and the incident became known to everyone.

It is sad to see the goddess who was once so high and mighty now fall to this state.

Raymond came back later and later.

Just like he said, he won't hide anything from me or lie to me anymore.

He hired the best lawyer for Nancy and fought with her ex-husband for custody of the child.

"Just to repay her mother's kindness. "

From the moment he said this, I knew I would never be able to pay it back.

Favors are always the hardest to repay.

But Raymond was too frank and wanted too much to prove himself to me.

Whenever he is with Nancy, he will video call me.

So even though things are complicated, life can be considered peaceful.

Until Nancy came to the door crying.

The bruises of varying sizes on her body told of her tragic experience.

As soon as Raymond opened the door, she threw herself into his arms.

"Ray..."

Raymond clenched his fists and hugged her, not even hearing what I said.

He held her in his arms and sat on the bed in the second bedroom, coaxing her to sleep.

But as soon as he left, Nancy began to tremble with insecurity.

"Please, don't leave me, Ray, please, don't leave..."

Even I was moved, let alone Raymond.

The expression on his face was one of uncontrollable anger, but when he looked at her, it softened.

"Are you going to hold her like this forever? "

Nancy glanced at me cautiously, then shrank back into Raymond's arms in fear.

The man rubbed his forehead.

"Wanda, she's so poor like this, why are you still so aggressive? Can we talk about it tomorrow? "

I never expected that one day I would hear him say that I was being aggressive.

Nancy started crying again.

"Ray, please don't leave. I regret it. Please don't abandon me. "

Raymond coaxed her softly.

"Well, I won't leave. I'll stay here with you. "

I did not miss the pride in Nancy's eyes.

She did it on purpose.

Whatever sympathy I had left was gone.

"Raymond, do you still remember what you promised? "

He was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment.

"Wanda, you've changed. Let's talk about our affairs tomorrow. You should leave first. She feels insecure when she sees you."

I turned away, not wanting to cry in front of him.

All night till dawn.

Raymond lifted my quilt again, just like he did countless times when we quarreled before.

"Get out."

I didn't move at all, just uttered a word softly.

He knelt in front of me.

"I'm sorry, I just said that because I was afraid she would do something extreme."

I closed my eyes and didn't look at him.

"Let’s get a divorce. "

He hugged me tightly, and the smell of Nancy's perfume on his body was very pungent.

I couldn't get free.

"Raymond, do you know how disgusting you are? Let me go! "

He cried, and his tears dripped on my shoulders, still warm.

I paused.

"Wanda, besides you, I really have no other relatives. You can beat me, scold me, or do anything you want. Please don't divorce me, okay? "

This was the first time he cried since we met.

But I couldn't tell anymore whether he was feeling sorry for Nancy or was really afraid of divorcing me.

I didn't say anything and he hugged me tighter.

"Wanda, for the sake of the baby, please forgive me this time. After she finishes the lawsuit, I will immediately draw a clear line with her."

I didn’t expect that the fruit of our love would now become a tool to kidnap me.

I didn't say anything, but I didn't struggle anymore, and finally I compromised.

After waking up, Nancy shouted Raymond's name loudly in the room.

He took my hand and walked out, and I could clearly feel her eyes on both hands.

"Ray..."

She strode up and hugged my husband.

Pushing us aside without leaving a trace.

"I’m so scared. I won’t be able to see you again. I’m really scared..."

He glanced at me and his arms stopped in the air, not knowing whether to hug me or not.

"You said you would never leave me, does that still count? "

Nancy raised her pitiful little face and asked stubbornly.

Being left aside by her, I didn't say anything, just looked at Raymond quietly.

"We are already over. You should wake up. I will ask the lawyer to find a solution for his domestic violence. Please let me go."

He just gave her a light push and Nancy immediately fell to the ground. With her previous injuries, she looked like a broken doll.

"Is it because of her? Ray, you clearly said..."

Nancy, who was sitting on the ground, was speaking incoherently and was in a very bad state.

"She is not in good condition. I am afraid she might hurt you and the baby. I will send her back first."

Raymond touched my head to comfort me.

Before leaving, Nancy looked at me one last time, her eyes full of pride.

An hour after they left, Raymond's phone and text messages were disconnected.

I waited for a long time until an anonymous number sent me a few photos.

In the photo, Raymond was shirtless, and Nancy was lying on his chest like a little bird.

There are no words, but everything is said.

With trembling hands, I dialed the number, but still no one answered.

Raymond did not come back that day.

After a full day of being out of touch, he knelt on the living room floor.

"Wanda, I’m sorry..."

He moved towards me on his knees.

I squatted down and unbuttoned his clothes one by one.

His chest was covered with thick hickeys.

While waiting, I kept comforting myself that the photos were photoshopped. Now it seems ridiculous.

"Wanda, can you please pay attention to me? "

Without waiting for my answer, he suddenly began to fan himself, rubbing the skin on his chest vigorously, turning a large area red and even causing the skin to peel off.

The bigger his movements, the more painful my heart feels.

But I still dodged when he wanted to touch me.

"Nasty..."

One word separated the distance between us, just like The Mariana Trench.

The air was silent for a long time, and something on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which brought the two people back to their senses.

His lips moved, they were bloodless and his face was pale.
