After the Cruel Marriage Broke Up

On a day of heavy rain, my husband's assistant Vivian Snow told me that he had an asthma attack, asking me to send medicine to the company immediately.

I was in bed with a high fever then, so my mother-in-law Jenny James answered the phone.

She didn't wake me up but went out in the rain to deliver the medicine, and she died in a car accident.

When the hospital notified me, Jenny was dying.

"Sandy, hurry up to deliver medicine to Vincent... He will feel uncomfortable if you are late..."

Jenny was still thinking about delivering medicine until her death.

I tried to hold back my sadness, but when I delivered the medicine to the company, I saw Vivian staying with my husband Vincent James. Sitting on Vincent, Vivian acted like a spoiled child.

"Vincent, if your wife doesn't come, I will be punished..."

Vincent scratched her nose lovingly.

"Don't worry. Even if it is the end of the world, she will come here to die."

I was furious and rushed to question him, "You're not sick?"

Vincent threw the medicine into the trash can with a cold face.

"You are the one who is sick. We are just playing games. Since the medicine is delivered, go back now. You are embarrassing me like this."

I was in great anger.

"Vincent! If you are not sick, why did you lie?

"To deliver the medicine to you, your mother..."

"Stop using my mom as a shield all the time!" Vincent interrupted me coldly and pushed me out the door with disgust.

He said, "The company got a big order today, and I'm celebrating with them. Aren't you embarrassed to come here like this?"

With red eyes, I slapped him.

"You bastard! Jenny..."

Covering his red and swollen face, Vincent was stunned.

This was the first time I embarrassed him in public and hit him.

Feeling embarrassed, he didn't even give me a chance to speak but dragged me out in a rage.

"Sandy, are you crazy? Don't cause trouble here. It's embarrassing."

I had no place to vent my anger, so I bit Vincent's hand which was holding me tightly.

Vivian immediately rushed over to pull me away.

"Mrs. James, please don't blame Vincent. It's all my fault. I was stupid and lost the game. He felt sorry for me, so he made fun of you. We didn't expect you to come here when it rained so heavily..."

She was apologizing to me, but every word she said was mocking me.

"Why did you joke about someone's life because you lost the game?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Vivian's eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled slightly and raised her chin to provoke me.

"Vincent, I told you not to joke with Mrs. James. Now she refuses to forgive me. What should I do?"

I was so angry that I raised my hand and wanted to hit Vivian's face.

But before my hand touched her, Vincent pushed me to the ground.

"Are you crazy? No one forced you to deliver the medicine. You became so embarrassed because you were stupid. Why do you blame us? It's just a game. Why are you so serious? Aren't you fine now? Why did you say we joked about someone's life?

"If you don't want to play, get out of here!"

After yelling at me, Vincent immediately cared for Vivian.

His tone was very gentle, which he never showed to me before. "Vivian, are you okay? Did she hit you?"

He examined Vivian's face over and over again as if he would cut me into pieces if he found any damage.

Vivian enjoyed it very much, but she pretended to be a frightened rabbit.

She hid in Vincent's arms and cried. "Vincent, this is all my fault. Don't blame Mrs. James... Let her beat me. As long as she can vent her anger, she can beat me in any way she wants. Perhaps this is the punishment I deserve... I accept it..."

Hearing Vivian's hypocritical words, Vincent thought I was making things difficult for Vivian on purpose.

He looked down at me, who was in a state of disgrace on the ground.

"Apologize to Vivian. Otherwise, I will divorce you!"

Vivian grabbed Vinvent's arm and shook her head in panic.

"Vincent, please don't do this. I'm fine. It's my fault for making Mrs. James feel uncomfortable. I was so stupid."

Vincent immediately gave me a vicious look.

"See? This is the difference between you and Vivian. You're petty all the time. You won't die if you are more generous."

After that, he turned to comfort Vivian, "It's just a game. No one can guarantee that he will win. Sandy is stupid. She always likes to do things that move herself. She thinks that this is love for me. If I was really sick, why didn't I call an ambulance?

"She deliberately came to the company to check on me. It's boring."

Hearing Vincent's words, the employees nodded in agreement and looked at me with contempt.

My embarrassment had become a sign of ulterior motives.

Everyone knew that since Vivian joined the company, my title of Mrs. James had become a joke.

To please Vincent, these people flattered the powerful and bullied the weak. They didn't feel sorry for me but just thought it was interesting to see me being trampled.

Vincent was happy to see this happen.

Thinking of Jenny still waiting for Vincent in the hospital, I suppressed all my emotions and told him calmly, "Vincent, your mother died in a car accident while delivering you medicine. Now go with me to see her for the last time, and then we will get divorced."
