Four years into our marriage, I sent my husband’s mistress abroad and then drugged him. We spent the night together, and I became pregnant. The next morning, Julian said nothing and flew out of the country. On the first day, my family’s company went bankrupt. On the second day, I got into a car accident. Not only did I lose the baby, but my uterus was removed, leaving me unable to ever conceive again. On the third day, my parents were kidnapped, taken thousands of feet into the air, and dropped to their deaths while I begged for mercy. It wasn’t until Julian stood in front of me, holding his mistress, that I realized he was behind it all. "You should be grateful I found Bella today, Sarah. Otherwise, you would have died with your parents." I coughed up blood and rushed forward to confront him, but his bodyguard kicked me dead before I could say a word. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day I drugged Julian. 1 "Sarah, you're going to regret this." His voice was accompanied by heavy, ragged breathing. I opened my eyes in disbelief, staring at the familiar scene. Julian, under the influence of the drug, looked at me with dark, lust-filled eyes. He grabbed my wrist violently. "Come here! Isn't this what you wanted?" I instinctively jerked my hand away and ran out of the room in terror. Behind me, Julian kept calling my name like a death sentence. In my past life, this was the day I sent his mistress, Bella, abroad and drugged him so we could sleep together. Julian and I grew up together. But when we got married, he told me he only saw me as a sister. In our first year of marriage, he got himself a mistress. No matter how hard I tried to please him, he remained unmoved. Desperate for a child to secure my place, I sent Bella away and drugged him. That night, I got what I wanted. The next morning, Julian gave me a dark look and left the country. After that, disaster struck my family. Bankruptcy. Miscarriage. Hysterectomy. And finally, my parents' brutal deaths. It was all Julian's punishment for me sending Bella away. He had forgotten his wedding vows to cherish me forever. He forgot how my parents treated him like their own son. The Su family’s resources were always open to him. When the Qin family was on the brink of bankruptcy, it was the Su family that saved them. Yet, he destroyed my parents without hesitation. And if he hadn't found Bella quickly, I would have died without ever knowing the truth. I shuddered at the thought. Julian was pounding on the door behind me. I knew the lock wouldn't hold for long. But the mistake hadn't been made yet. Bella should have just arrived at the airport. If I brought her back and sent her to his bed, everything could be saved. In this life, I didn't want a child, and I didn't want Julian's love. I just wanted to stay far away from them. Without hesitation, I called my assistant. "Bring Bella back to the estate. Now!" 2 After making the call, I collapsed to the floor, weak. Soon, Bella was brought back. She looked at me with venom in her eyes. "Who are you to send me away? You're lucky you brought me back, or Julian wouldn't have let you off!" Bella held her head high, eyes full of triumph. I said nothing. I just opened the door and shoved her inside. "I know you and Julian are made for each other. I'm fulfilling your wish." Hearing the heavy breathing behind her, Bella looked terrified. "You crazy bitch! Are you giving me to some random man? Even if you use such evil tricks, Julian won't love you!" My heart ached. I shouted to Julian, "I was wrong to drug you, but I'm compensating you now. We're even." In my past life, I used a high dose. He went at it for a whole day. Now with the woman he truly loved, they probably wouldn't leave the room for twenty-four hours. Seeing that the man was Julian, a smile instantly appeared on Bella's face. She proudly took off her coat, revealing the lace lingerie underneath. Seeing my stunned expression, she gloated, "What are you looking at? Julian loves this on me. He says you're like a dead fish in bed. Holding your hand feels like holding his own left hand." She walked over and hugged Julian. The next second, Julian, unable to hold back any longer, tackled her to the ground. I couldn't watch anymore and slammed the door shut. Even in a new life, seeing this still cut me like a knife. But this time, I would not repeat the same mistakes! The sounds from inside continued. I turned and walked away numbly. After gathering all my documents, I finally let out a breath. Next step: get Julian to sign the divorce papers so I can leave for good. I started drafting the agreement, word by word. Looking at his name, memories flooded back. We grew up together. He had his tender moments. He always brought me my favorite wontons. He prepared gifts for every holiday. He was the first to defend me when others hurt me. I was young and naive, thinking it was love. So I begged my parents to let us marry. Julian didn't object, and I thought he loved me too. Until after the wedding, when he brought Bella home for the first time. He said he only loved me as a sister. If my parents hadn't threatened him with death, he wouldn't have married me. But he couldn't spend his life with a "sister," so he brought Bella home. "From now on, we are husband and wife in public, but at home, you are my sister, and Bella is my wife." I cried, screamed, and threatened to jump off the balcony. Eventually, I forced Bella out of the estate. But driving her away didn't win his heart. In the end, it cost me my entire family. Thinking of this, I printed the divorce agreement and clutched it tightly. Suddenly, a voice came from behind. "Sarah, what are you doing?" 3 I turned around and saw Julian holding Bella, looking at me with dark eyes, his body covered in marks. I took a deep breath and handed him the divorce papers. He slapped them away without looking, frowning at me. "Sarah, apologize to Bella." My heart sank. I had given them what they wanted yesterday, but he still wouldn't let it go. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. Bella nestled into Julian's arms, looking aggrieved. "Forget it, Julian. Who am I to ask the great Miss Su for an apology? What if she gets angry and sends me abroad again?" She tugged at his sleeve, voice trembling with tears, while shooting me a hateful glare. Julian hugged her tighter, turning a cold gaze on me. "Sarah, apologize to Bella. Don't make me say it twice! Or your family's company and your parents..." Seeing the ruthlessness in his eyes, I realized Julian might never have intended to live peacefully with me. He was coerced into marriage, and from that day on, he hated my family. Even in this life, where I didn't send Bella away, he still threatened me with my parents and the company. He had always planned to destroy us. I swallowed the bitterness and rasped, "I'm sorry." Bella turned her head, pouting. "She's not sincere at all. I want her to kneel and slap herself while apologizing. Ninety-nine times. Only then will I forgive her." Julian frowned. Bella quickly added, "If I had really been sent away last night, Julian, wouldn't you be heartbroken? What if something happened to me abroad..." Before she could finish, Julian kissed her. "Don't say that. You know I can't lose you." He looked at me coldly. "This was your fault. I know you can't do it yourself, so just apologize, and I'll have someone help you." The bodyguards forced me to my knees. Slaps rained down on my face. Pain blinded me. Julian wasn't satisfied. He grabbed my chin. His eyes were dark. "Sarah, I was too good to you before. Think of your parents. Do what Bella wants, or ninety-nine slaps will become nine hundred and ninety." I gritted my teeth and apologized until I coughed up blood. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." After ninety-nine slaps, I collapsed, unconscious. Before I closed my eyes, I saw a flicker of pain in Julian's eyes. 4 When I woke up, Julian was sitting by my bed. He sighed and tried to feed me warm porridge. I turned my face away. He frowned. "It was wrong to hit you, but Sarah, you started it." I cut him off by handing him the divorce papers. "Let's divorce. I'm giving you and Bella my blessing." Julian snatched the papers and threw them on the floor, his face black. "You think you can marry when you want and divorce when you want? What am I to you?" I looked at him in disbelief. "Didn't you always want to marry Bella?" He stood up, glaring at me coldly. "Sarah, playing hard to get? I told you I only see you as a sister. You want a divorce? Fine. But until the certificate is issued, don't touch Bella. If she gets a single scratch, it's on you." Bella walked in, smirking at me. "Julian, that's not nice to Sarah. If you say that, doesn't she become my bodyguard until the divorce? But since you asked, Sarah, I'm counting on you." Bodyguards flooded the room. Julian signed the papers, staring at me as if trying to read my mind. I was dragged out of bed silently to follow Bella. Once I get the divorce certificate, I can escape them and avoid my past fate. The next month was pure torture. Julian made out with Bella in front of me without shame. They kissed loudly in dressing rooms while I stood guard outside. Listening to their laughter, I stared blankly into the distance. Tomorrow, I get the certificate. Freedom. An hour later, Julian walked out with a disheveled Bella. He looked unhappy. After taking a call, he gave me a dark look and left. Once he was gone, Bella dropped the act. She mocked me, "Some people just have thick skin. Squatting on things that don't belong to them, refusing to give them back even when the owner returns. Like a stray dog." Before I could reply, a group of men rushed out and grabbed Bella. The leader looked vicious. "You're Julian's mistress? Today is your unlucky day!" He raised a hand to knock her out. I lunged forward and grabbed Bella's hand. If anything happened to her, Julian would blame me. Thinking of my past life, I held on for dear life. If I let go, I'd be buried with her. The man sneered and slapped me. My head spun. "Bitch, can't even save yourself and trying to stop me? Take them both!" Soon, amidst Bella's screams, we were pinned to the ground. Just as we were being dragged away, a noise came from behind. "Let them go!" Julian rushed forward, eyes anxious. While the men were distracted by Julian, I tried to drag Bella toward the exit. But Bella pinched my hand hard and shoved me backward. I looked at her in shock. She whispered: "Who told you to compete with me?" The next second, I was grabbed by the thug again. "Julian! Tell your men to back off! Or I can't guarantee her safety!" The man choked me, lifting me high. Julian looked at me, expression unreadable. "Sarah, you're overacting. Don't believe your own lies." I didn't know what he meant. I reached out to him. "Save... me." Julian hesitated. Just then, Bella cried out in pain. "Julian, it hurts! Sarah hired these people herself, they won't hurt her! She just pushed me, I'm worried about the baby..." I looked at Bella in disbelief. I struggled, trying to explain. But hearing Bella's words, Julian picked her up and turned away. The thug threatened him, but he just said coldly: "Do whatever you want with her." Seeing no escape, the thug stopped struggling. He pinned me down with a twisted expression. "Boys, this Julian guy is ruthless. Since he doesn't want his wife, let's taste what a CEO's woman is like!" He tore my clothes open. "Julian! Save me!" Desperate, I used the name I called him as a child, hoping to awaken his conscience. He paused but continued walking away with the unharmed Bella. I fought with everything I had, but I was overpowered. Just before he entered me, a fierce resolve flashed in my eyes. I bit my tongue off. Blood gushed out. The man looked terrified. In the last second before passing out, memories of Julian's past kindness flashed before my eyes. Then, they shattered. I fell into darkness. ... After leaving, Julian's heart raced. He felt like he missed something. After settling Bella in the hospital, he stood outside her room. Remembering Sarah's dead eyes and her cry for help, he finally made a call. "Go see if Sarah is dead." He knew she hired those people. She wouldn't be hurt. But he frowned. He swore he would teach her a lesson when she came back. But the next second, the voice on the phone froze him. "Mr. Vance, the Madam bit her tongue and committed suicide after you left. She was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital..."
