Where My Love Froze Over

They shouted, "Mr. Blackwood, Carrie is your wife! You've been married for ten years, how can you not believe her?"

Mylo sneered. "If Carrie was really pregnant, then it's a good thing the child is gone."

His eyes darkened. "I haven't touched her in years. A woman carrying another man's bastard has no right to be my wife."

Hearing this, I closed my eyes in despair.

He was telling the truth. Ever since Rimes appeared, Mylo rarely came home, let alone shared my bed. But that one night, he had come home drunk, mistaken me for Rimes, and forced himself on me.

If he knew it was his child I just lost… would he feel even a sliver of regret?

At the same time, I made a silent vow. If I survived this, I would sever all ties with Mylo.

The doctor and her colleagues rushed me onto a stretcher. I was taken aboard the rescue helicopter for emergency treatment.

Just as I thought I had a chance to live, Rimes ran over.

She pointed at me and shrieked, "Doctor, don't save her, she deserves to die! She deliberately sabotaged the cabin!"

Rimes held up her phone, showing a video to everyone.

In the video, I, the project’s architect, was seen near the cabin's load-bearing structure. Not long after, the blizzard caused the roof to collapse. Chaos erupted, and everyone in the company was trapped.

Rimes pointed an accusing finger at me. "It was her! She damaged the cabin's structure. She caused the company massive losses and endangered all of us."

Hearing this, Mylo pushed past the doctor and paramedics who were trying to save me.

He viciously grabbed my collar. "Carrie, I gave you a platform to showcase your talent out of the goodness of my heart, and this is how you repay me? You know this resort is my life's work, and you destroyed it with your own hands! What right do you have to be on a rescue helicopter? Security should be taking you into custody!"

He started dragging me by the collar, yelling to the crowd, "Security! I've found the culprit! Detain her! Have the legal department prepare the paperwork—I'm suing her! I'm going to make that treacherous woman pay for everything she's done!"

Under Mylo's rough handling, my collar tightened until I couldn't breathe.
