I spent the entire afternoon at the mall, picking out a third-anniversary gift for my husband, Derick.
Crossing the street, a Maserati slammed straight into me.
When I woke up, my husband walked into my hospital room, bringing the blond girl who ran me over.
"Daisy just graduated and isn't familiar with the roads in LA. You're not seriously hurt anyway, so just let it go."
When I returned home, I realized my dog, my companion for eight years, was missing.
"This dog tried to bite me, so I killed it. It's in a freezer in the kitchen now," the girl's cousin said.
My husband said, "It was just an animal. We can just get another one, can't we?"
I looked him straight in the eyes. "Derick, let's get a divorce."

He Defended the Woman Who Ran Me Over

All the police officers turned to look at Derick.


"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly break the law?"


Randal took out a stack of documents, laying them out one by one in front of Derick.


"This one is the record of your company's tax evasion."


"This one is the evidence of bribery for that project a while back."


"And this one, and this one... they are all evidence of your company's crimes. What else do you have to say for yourself?"


Derick flipped through the documents carefully before tossing them aside.


"You think you can slander me with just a few words printed on white paper? I think you're just jealous that I married Lidia, aren't you?"


"Everyone knows it! You were depressed for three whole years over her!"


So Randal had waited for me for so long, and I had no idea.


Back then, I was so blinded by love that after my whirlwind marriage to Derick, I didn't see Randal for a very long time.
