From Ashes To Adored Bride's Happiness

The night I reached the pinnacle of my career as a concert pianist, my husband was in a car with his mistress. Their argument caused the crash that crushed my hands, ending my future in an instant. In the hospital, my adopted daughter, Kennedy, stood over my bed and blamed me. "This is all your fault," she whispered, her eyes cold. Then, his mistress arrived with a bouquet of lilies, knowing I was deathly allergic. As I suffocated, my husband watched with annoyance while my daughter accused me of faking it. "Stop pretending, Mom. Aunt Christine's flowers are beautiful." I lost more than my hands that night. The last thing I heard before blacking out was a doctor shouting, "The fetus has a weak heartbeat!" I woke up to find my career gone, my baby gone, and my family vacationing with my replacement. So I vanished. For six years, I built a new life from the ashes, finding peace with a new husband and son. But now he's back, with an ultimatum: abandon my new life and return to his side, or he'll destroy everything I hold dear.

Chapter 4

Atha Arnold POV:

"你到底在胡闹什么? " 亚历山大站在我的小音乐教室里, 语气里充满了不耐烦与指责. 他扫视着我用尽心血布置的一切, 眼神里是赤裸裸的轻蔑.

我的双手紧紧攥着, 指甲几乎要嵌进肉里. 内心深处, 一股怒火正在熊熊燃烧, 但我努力压制着. 我不再是六年前那个唯唯诺诺的阿莎了.

"我们已经离婚了, 亚历山大. " 我的声音平静, 却带着不容置疑的坚定. "我现在有我的新生活, 我有我的家庭, 我的丈夫, 我的孩子, 他们都支持我做喜欢的事情. "

亚历山大的眉毛紧紧皱在一起, 眼神里充满了不解和一丝隐约的怒气. 他显然不相信我的话.

"撒谎! 你以为我会相信你吗? 你爱了我这么多年, 怎么可能说放手就放手? " 他的语气充满了自负, 仿佛我对他来说, 只是一个随时可以召回的物品.

就在这时, 一个熟悉的小身影冲了进来. 是肯尼迪. 她穿着一身精致的公主裙, 脸上带着明显的泪痕.

"爸爸, 妈妈, 你们不要吵架了! " 她跑到亚历山大身边, 紧紧抓着他的衣角, 然后又看向我, 眼神里带着一丝我从未见过的恳求.

"妈妈, 你回来吧, 好不好? 我好想你... " 肯尼迪的声音带着哭腔, 她的表情柔软而无助, 试图唤起我内心深处早已干涸的母爱.

我的心像被一块冰冷的石头堵住. 我想起了她在医院里对我的指责, 想起了她对克里斯汀的偏爱, 想起了我失去孩子的那个夜晚. 那些伤疤, 即便六年过去, 依旧血淋淋地存在着.

"我不会回去的. " 我的声音平稳, 没有任何感情. "我现在有我自己的家庭, 我有爱我的丈夫和儿子. 请你们以后不要再来打扰我了. "

亚历山大的脸色瞬间变得铁青. 他看着我, 眼神里充满了被挑战的愤怒.

"什么丈夫? 什么儿子? 你以为随便找个男人, 生个野种, 就能摆脱我吗? " 他的声音压低了, 带着浓浓的威胁.

"我给你三天时间, 阿莎. 三天之内, 带着你的儿子回到我身边. 否则, 我会让你在这个小镇身败名裂, 让你那个所谓的丈夫也一无所有. "

他从口袋里掏出一张名片, 扔在桌上. "这是我住的酒店, 想清楚了就来找我. "

说完, 他拉着肯尼迪, 头也不回地离开了我的音乐教室.

我看着他们离去的背影, 内心没有一丝动摇. 我从未想过要回到那个地狱般的生活, 也绝不会接受他的任何威胁. 我已不再是那个任凭他摆布的女人了.

第二天傍晚, 我独自一人驾车前往机场. 丹尼今天要从寄宿学校回来, 我迫不及待地想见到他.
