Our Unwritten Love

I could hear a lady trying to suppress her moans, but she couldn't help herself due to her partner's movement.

Henry gently kissed Nina's eyebrow and said in a passionate tone, "You look so beautiful, Nina."

In the next moment, as if he could sense my gaze, Henry snickered, "I didn't know you were into voyeurism, Julia. I'd have kept you around whenever we were making love if I had known."

Nina shrieked and hid herself in Henry's arms. She said frantically, "Julia, why didn't you make a sound after waking up?! Tell her to go back inside, Henry!"

Henry stroked her head smilingly. Seeing that I wasn't responding, he nudged me impatiently.

"Nina told you to go back inside. Are you deaf? Or maybe you've broken a leg?"

Turns out, it wasn't a dream at all.

After I came back from shopping, I had sat on the sofa and waited for Henry to return, but it seems that I had fallen asleep unknowingly.

Enduring the numbness in my legs, I stood up and walked into the bedroom.

Every now and then, I could hear the moans coming from the living room.

After some time had passed, someone opened my bedroom door—it was Henry. He was naked from the waist up, and his voice sounded hoarse.

"Go help Nina clean up," he said.

This time, I didn't move.

Henry frowned and snapped, "Don't make me repeat myself, Julia Sachs."

I took a deep breath and looked straight into his eyes.

"Please let me go, Henry.

"You're going to marry Nina, aren't you? You should enjoy your life with her."

Henry's expression darkened in an instant. He snorted coldly, "Let you go? Did you let me go back then? What, can't stand it when the tables have turned?

"Nina and I are going to get married, and when we have children, you will serve as our nanny. What will you do then?"

My vision was blurred, but Henry forcefully wiped the tears from my eyes.

"What's the use of crying? Julia, it was you who trampled on my feelings. Back then, I would have even given up my life for you.

"This is just the beginning, yet you can't bear it already? If you want to save your mother, do as you're told, and don't anger me."

In the bathroom, I silently rubbed Nina's back.

Neither of us spoke.

It wasn't until the end that Nina broke the silence.

"Julia, will you blame me for this?"

Her question caught me by surprise. I was stunned for a moment before I shook my head.

She smiled upon seeing my reaction. She then said, "Then promise me you'll never tell Henry, okay? I'm pregnant, and I'd like to give my baby a home."

I stared at her belly in a daze.

When Henry and I broke up, Nina was the only person who knew everything.

Back then, my family had gone bankrupt, and my father had leapt off a building. My mother never mentally recovered from this incident.

From the moment I saw the threats on my father's phone, I knew that our bankruptcy wasn't a coincidence, but a deliberate attack by someone.

To find out the truth, I had spoken to the police.

However, when I came out of the police station, I was almost hit by a car.

At that point, I realized that I had become a target, too.

Soon, I began receiving death threats. They didn't spare Henry either.

That was why I had broken up with him.

On the day Henry fell dangerously ill, I was the one who had sent him to the hospital, where I looked after him the entire night.

I called Nina and asked her to help me take care of him and to hide the truth from him.

Nina was now pregnant, and Henry was going to marry her.

Everything seemed like a perfect ending.

I hadn't said anything before, so there was even more of a reason to stay silent now.

I nodded.

My throat felt dry, but I replied, "Alright, I will keep it a secret."

A smile appeared on Nina's face instantly.

She gave me a big hug and said, "I knew you were the best! Then… can you do me one last favor, please? Can you make Henry give up on you?"

In that instant, the smile on her face turned vicious.

Before I could react, she pulled my arm and pushed my head into the water.

In the next moment, the bathroom was filled with panicked screaming. When Henry rushed in, he saw me pushing Nina into the water.
