Eden was his first love and I was the replacement.

Now that the genuine article was back, there was certainly no point in keeping me, the impostor.

‘Ethan, have you ever loved me?’

‘Never.’

Eden gave me a provocative look, the hickey on her neck looming.

She'd won, won completely.

‘Ethan, let's get a divorce.’

‘Divorce? Don't even think about it Skylar, you initiate a divorce with me and I'll kill your whole family!’

Ethan knew my weakness and threatened me with the lives of my family.

I wasn't afraid to die, but I couldn't drag my family down with me.

Eden saw my concern and smiled even more smugly.

‘Ethan, have you forgotten our original agreement?’

Ethen froze for a moment, and Eden shot him a look before he responded.

‘Haven't forgotten, but what's done is done!’

‘Ethan! You promised to divorce her as soon as I got back!’

Eden got a little angry and Ethan rushed to coax her.

‘Baby, I will do what I promised you! But I can't cheapen this bitch!’

‘But she has your child in her stomach ......’

‘So what? I won't let this bitch's baby be born!’

Ethan finally showed his true colours, he became scary, unfamiliar, never the same guy I knew.

My heart completely died.

‘Ethan, what do you want?’

‘Don't want anything, just want you dead!’

Ethan started counting down and I was terrified.

‘Ethan, I'm begging you, let me go ......’

‘Let you go? Then who stays with my Eden!’

Ethan was laughing like crazy with Eden.

I finally understood that Eden came back just to get back at me.

But what was wrong with me?

‘Ethan, I regret ...... regret not listening to my parents ...... regret believing in love ......’

The rope suddenly snapped and my body rapidly descended.

At that moment, it was as if my heart stopped beating.

The moment I landed, a sharp pain came.

I subconsciously shielded my stomach, but I still fell.

A sharp pain came from my abdomen, and there was a large area of blood under my body ......

I couldn't move my body.

Just when I thought I was going to die, Ethan and Eden flew away in the helicopter!

They didn't realise I was still alive!

Perhaps, this was retribution.

I drifted off to sleep for a while, and it wasn't long before I woke up again with pain.

I struggled to move my body, the wound in my abdomen hurting even more.

I tried to find my mobile phone to call for help, but my pockets were empty, Ethan and the others had taken it.

I looked around and realised I was in the middle of the desert with no one around.

There was an eagle circling overhead, it seemed to smell blood and wanted to peck at me.

With my last ounce of strength, I waved my hand at it.

Just on the verge of despair, the sound of a car came from the distance.

It was the secretary!

‘Ma'am! Madam!’

‘I'm here ......’

My voice was so small I could barely hear it.

‘Madam, what are you doing here? Where are Monsieur and Miss Eden?’

‘They ...... flew away ......’

‘Then madam you ......’

‘I have a stomach ache ...... and blood underneath me ......’

The secretary then noticed the blood underneath me and hurriedly helped me into the car to take me to the hospital.

On the way, the secretary called Ethan.

The phone was connected, and the secretary just said one word before being hung up.

My heart went completely cold.

By the time I got to the hospital, I was dying.

The baby wasn't saved and I couldn't be resuscitated.

The secretary couldn't bear to tell Ethan the truth, so she took my body to his house.

Ethan frowned in disgust the moment he saw the body.

‘What is this thing? How can you bring any mess to my house?’

The secretary looked over at Ethan and spoke softly, ‘This is the body of the lady, she's dead.’

Eden walks down the stairs and smiles contemptuously, ‘Ethan, she must have faked her death in order for you to get to her.’

Ethan sniffs and sneers at his secretary, ‘Get a grip on yourself, you're my secretary, don't help Skylar do anything to deceive me.’

‘Hurry up and take this disgusting body away and throw it away!’

‘Tell Skylar to never come back if she doesn't want to. I'm not going to go looking for her.’

If I could talk, I'd tell him it's true this time.
