Love's Inferno

Our honeymoon abroad turned into a nightmare when riots broke out.

To help Elena escape, my newlywed husband shoved me out of the car without hesitation.

In my darkest moment of despair, my childhood sweetheart Dashiell appeared like an angel to save me.

He helped me overcome my trauma and even proposed marriage.

I suffered three miscarriages, but he never once blamed me.

When I joyfully discovered I was pregnant for the fourth time, I accidentally overheard him talking to my ex-husband.

My ex asked, "Don't you regret personally causing the deaths of three unborn children just to get fetal blood to save Elena?"

Dashiell gave a bitter smile and replied, "I'd do anything to keep Elena healthy and happy."

Only then did I realize this seemingly blissful marriage had been a conspiracy from the very beginning.

Both of my husbands only ever truly cared about Elena.

If that's how it is, there's no need for me to cling to a loveless marriage any longer.

But why is it that after I left, the man who claimed not to love me went mad with longing for me?
