My husband was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When both his beloved and I were kidnapped, he chose her.
I dared not have any accusations and calmly accepted the abuse from the kidnappers, waiting for the timed bomb on my body to explode.
In my previous life, he received a ransom call and brought a billion in cash. However, the kidnapper was a crazed killer and only allowed him to choose between me and his beloved.
Because I was five months pregnant, he chose me with a heavy heart. Emelia was brutally tortured to death, and when she was discovered by the police, her face was completely unrecognizable.
Afterward, he was heartbroken and blamed everything on me.
“If it hadn’t been for you being pregnant with the Vaughan family’s baby, and Dad and Mom forcing me to save you, Emelia wouldn’t
have died.”
He used to beat and scold me every day, causing me to not only lose the baby but also live the rest of my life with a colostomy bag, imaking me feel like life wasn’t worth living.
I was taken by my husband to the riverside where Emelia’s remains were found, and he pushed me directly into the water, causing me to drown alive.
In this life, I chose to stay behind as the kidnapper’s plaything, to let him and Emelia be together.
The kidnappers tied me and Emelia Giles to chairs and he pulled out a sharp knife.
The blade lightly grazed my face as he angrily shouted, “Your billionaire husband has ruined me, leaving me bankrupt and my family destroyed. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be chased by creditors today! When he arrives, only one of you two will survive!”
In a fit of anger, he slapped me and Emelia ea the face, instantly causing half of our faces to become swollen and red.
Fernando Vaughan hurried over, only to find that the kidnapper had also taken Emelia.
He was heartbroken after seeing the wounds on her face.
Emelia cried with tears streaming down her face, “Fernando, save me!” The kidnappers had strapped timed bombs onto both of us, with a countdown of 110 seconds, leaving Fernando very little time to think.
On the phone, Cason Vaughan and Nicole Vaughan, Fernando’s parents, were desperately pleading with him to protect me and our baby.
Fernando was a scion, and the one thing he never lacked was money.
He looked at him with contempt. “You’re willing to become a kidnapper for just a billion? I can’t understand that. I want both of them. I’ll offer you an extra five billion–enough to settle your debts.”
Despite his wealth, he underestimated the brutality of the kidnapper.
After he drove the kidnapper to bankruptcy, it triggered his multiple personalities, sending him into a frenzy and making him completely immune to money.
“Mr. Vaughan, there are 60 seconds left. If you delay any longer, they will die together.”
Fernando looked at Emelia with difficulty and then looked at me with a displeased expression. “Was the kidnapping intentionally designed by you to make Emelia jealous?”
On the phone, only Cason and Nicole were concerned about me, crying, and threatening to die if Fernando didn’t bring me back, otherwise they would donate all their inheritance to the country.
The kidnapper deliberately mocked and teased me, saying, “I have one more accomplice now. After we finish this job, we’ll split it fifty–fifty.”
Emelia cried and accused me, “Hailee, I knew it was you with ill intentions. I don’t want to be blown up. Fernando, save me!” Fernando glared at me fiercely, “Don’t think that just because you carry my baby, you can do whatever you want. I knew from the
1/3
beginning that you married me for money.”
Both he and Emelia had tears in their eyes, gazing at each other, but they couldn’t embrace because of the kidnapper.
I didn’t expect to be reborn into such a difficult moment. In the previous life, after I was rescued, Emelia was left behind alone, enduring the torment and abuse of the kidnappers, and ultimately being locked in a cabinet and thrown into the river.
I thought that being saved that day was my second chance at life, but it turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare.
After that, Fernando regretted deeply and blamed me for Emelia’s death, calling me a jinx.
He drank all day and beat me relentlessly, causing me to miscarry and rupture my intestine, leaving me permanently disabled.
Chapter 2
The wound on my back was stitched up for a length of forty to fifty centimeters, leaving extremely ugly scars, and I will have to live with a colostomy bag for the rest of my life.
In the end, I didn’t even know what I did wrong.
The main culprit was clearly the crazed kidnapper, or perhaps…
Why does he hate me when I have never done anything wrong from beginning to end, even though Fernando was so arrogant and domineering in the mall, attracting enemies?
Since he had never loved me, I decided to let them be together.
I deliberately lied, “I was not carrying your child, and I didn’t love you either.”
Fernando couldn’t believe it, after all, I had been his lapdog for ten years, always at his beck and call.
Emelia and I were both panda blood donors and at Fernando’s request, we also served as Emelia’s mobile blood bank for eight years.
“Hailee! How dare you betray me!”
My lie, he believed without hesitation. On the other end of the phone, Cason and Nicole cried and doubted, “Impossible, Hailee wouldn’t betray you.” “Mom, Dad! What time is it? You’re still siding with her. Don’t you know your son has been cheated on.?
Without waiting for Cason and Nicole to argue, Fernando hung up the phone without hesitation and said, “I choose Emelia. Whether Hailee wants to kill or torture, it’s up to her.”
The kidnappers dismantled the bomb as agreed and released Emelia.
Fernando was very considerate as he put on a suit for her and carried her horizontally.
I watched them leave, leaving me alone to face the cruel kidnappers. This time, however, my heart was as calm as still water.
The bandit laughed wickedly and then extended the timed bomb by 60 seconds. He pressed a sharp knife against my neck, deliberately
torturing me.
“Let’s play a game, with three lines in red, blue, and yellow. Only one line can stop the countdown. You choose.”
I calmly chose, “Blue.”
He sneered wickedly and turned around to fetch the cutting tool.
Taking advantage of the kidnappers‘ inattention, I leaped down with a bomb, falling from the upper floors of the abandoned factory.
Rather than being tortured to death, I thought I would die instantly by falling to the ground.
Unfortunately, under the tremendous impact, my body smashed through the roof of Fernando’s Bugatti, and I fell heavily into the driver’s compartment, blood splattering the car windows instantly.
“Ab-
Holding Emelia, Fernando saw this scene and his face turned pale, he was already frightened.
The police, who had been lying in wait in advance, were stunned for three seconds before taking action.
Fernando looked at his beloved car stained red with blood and exclaimed in disgust, “What bad luck! Stay away from me, you won’t die.”
I wanted to distance myself, so I even made a doll resembling a kidnapper for a few minutes. Unexpectedly, he was still lingering with Emelia, not leaving
His good friend said, “Fernando, Hailee has been so good to you all these years, she almost gave you her heart, and yet you only cared
about Emelia.”
Fernando glared at him angrily, “What do you know? Hailee just said over and over again that the child she’s carrying isn’t mine. Why should I save her? Are you protecting her so much because you and her are secretly involved behind my back?”
He was heartless and unkind to me and even doubted his longtime good friend. His cold words were truly heart–wrenching. Chapter 2
1/3
“Fernando! I had a wife. Didn’t you ever consider that Hailee lied on purpose to spare you from trouble? Even your own parents didn’t believe it, didn’t you ever have any doubts?”
Fernando didn’t care at all, “Since she is not your wife, don’t worry about it so much. I’m going to take Emelia to the hospital for a check–up, lend me the car first.”
At this moment, the fake bomb on my body had already been defused by the bomb disposal experts. I was severely injured all over and in urgent need of medical treatment.
His good friend said, “My sports car is fast, let’s give Hailee a ride first.”
Fernando didn’t even look at me and snatched the car keys from my good friend. He even threatened him, saying, “Over the years, your family has relied on mine to make a lot of money. Don’t force me to bankrupt your family.”
Mr. Tanner’s face changed dramatically as he sympathetically looked at me, covered in blood.
“One step later, Hailee would have died.”
