Love's Final Embrace

An hour later, they finally finished eating.

Only then did they send me to the hospital. The little bits of love left in me were gone with that.

As soon as I woke up, Daniel was eager to take me home.

Isabella sat in the passenger seat, while I was left in the back.

Daniel didn't explain why he was bringing Isabella home, but I didn't care anymore.

Taking advantage of my grogginess, he kept whining, "I never thought you'd be like this. Now you're making me lose face by pretending to be allergic to alcohol."

I didn't bother arguing with him. It was pointless.

Isabella smirked and glanced back at me.

"Daniel, don't blame her," she said sweetly. "If she doesn't want to drink, that's fine."

"You're so understanding," he replied. "Jessica is probably still holding a grudge against you. She's too petty."

When we got home, Daniel handed me a glass of water. "Still feeling unwell? Here, have some water."

I knew the water was laced with sleeping pills, so I secretly poured it out and pretended to fall asleep.

Daniel then carried me to the guest room. Soon after, Isabella came in.

"I knew you didn't drink it," she started. "You heard everything at the train station, didn't you?"

I opened my eyes, saying nothing. She continued, "So, you should know that Daniel only loves me. In fact, he married you because of me."

Taking advantage of my weakness, she tied me to a chair and placed me by the bedroom door.

"Sit here and listen to his passion for me tonight," she grinned. "Be a wise woman and leave him."

"Actually, you don't need to do this," I said calmly. "I've already decided to leave him. He's all yours."

Isabella snorted and slammed the door shut.

Inside the room, Daniel's breathing was heavy. He had never shown such passion to me.

But then again, it totally made sense because he never loved me.

"I can't believe we're doing this in your house with Jessica right outside," Isabella said. "This is thrilling."

"Be patient, my dear," Daniel grunted. "The real thrill is yet to come."

Their moans grew louder and louder, the bed creaking with every movement.

I couldn't cover my ears because I was tied up. But honestly, I felt nothing about it.

Suddenly, Daniel stopped. "Keep it down. If Jessica wakes up, I won't know what to say."

"Keep going," Isabella urged. "She won't wake up. Besides, who cares if she hears?"

Daniel slowed down anyway to avoid making too much noise.

Their passion went on until 2 AM.

Half an hour later, after Daniel fell asleep, Isabella came out to untie me. She gloated, "Heard all that? Ready to give up now?"

"Don't worry. I'll leave," I replied calmly.

Back in the guest room, I stretched my body and fell asleep instantly.

The next day, I woke up early, left the divorce agreement in the room, and headed to the airport.

On the way, I texted Sarah. [I'll be joining you soon.]
