Chapter 2

Atha Arnold POV:

我在医院里度过了漫长的几个星期. 我的身体逐渐康复, 但我的心却支离破碎. 克里斯汀的话像烙印一样刻在我的脑海里, 一遍又一遍地回响. 我终于明白, 我曾经的家庭, 我曾经深爱的人, 都不过是一场精心编织的谎言. 我不想再继续这样的人生了. 我决定彻底离开, 斩断所有与过去的联系.

我联系了律师, 要求立即办理离婚手续. 亚历山大没有露面, 他的律师也只是冷漠地处理着文件. 一切都仿佛我从未存在过一样. 我没有争取任何财产, 只要求彻底的自由.

办理完所有手续后, 我离开了那个曾经承载着我所有梦想和痛苦的城市. 我回到了我出生的那个小镇, 一个宁静而陌生的故乡. 在这里, 没人认识我, 没人知道我曾经是那个被誉为 "钢琴界明日之星" 的阿莎·阿诺德, 也没人知道我曾经经历的一切. 我只想在这里, 重新开始.

时间是最好的良药, 也是最残忍的见证. 六年的时光转瞬即逝. 我开了一家小小的音乐教室, 教孩子们弹琴. 我的双手虽然无法再演奏那些复杂的乐章, 但简单的旋律, 孩子们纯真的笑容, 却治愈了我破碎的心. 我找到了新的生活, 平静而充实.

直到那天, 他再次出现.

我正在教室里给孩子们上课, 门突然被推开. 亚历山大站在那里, 他的身影在阳光下显得格外高大, 却也格外刺眼. 他还是那么英俊, 带着一种上位者的傲慢. 我的心猛地一沉, 像有块石头掉进了冰冷的湖水里, 激起了一阵阵涟漪.

他穿着剪裁合体的西装, 头发一丝不乱, 和六年前那个意气风发的政客一模一样. 只是他的眼神里多了一丝疲惫, 一丝我从未见过的阴鸷.

我的呼吸变得急促, 身体僵硬得像被施了魔法. 仿佛回到了六年前那个冰冷的病房, 那个我最脆弱的时候.

我记得那时我给他打电话, 声音带着哭腔. 我祈求他能说一句安慰我的话, 即使只是敷衍也好.

"亚历山大, 我的手废了, 孩子也没了... 我好疼, 我不知道该怎么办. " 我的声音颤抖着, 每一个字都带着绝望.

电话那头, 他沉默了很久, 久到我以为他挂断了.

"克里斯汀正在为我的竞选忙碌, 她希望我能多陪陪她. 你不要再无理取闹了, 阿莎. " 他的声音冰冷而遥远, 没有一丝温度.

我的心彻底沉到了谷底. 我多希望他能说一句: "阿莎, 我爱你, 我会一直在你身边. " 可他没有. 他只关心他的竞选, 和他的情妇.

"你当初娶我, 只是为了你的政治前途, 对不对? " 我嘶哑着声音, 绝望地质问他.

"别胡说八道! 你最近的情绪很不稳定, 需要好好休息. " 他语气强硬, 带着不容置疑的命令.

接着, 他就挂断了电话.

我的手机从手中滑落, 砸在冰冷的地上. 我感到自己像一个被操控的木偶, 所有的喜怒哀乐都由他掌控. 我的生活, 我的梦想, 都围绕他而转. 可他却从来没有把我放在心上. 他拒绝解释, 拒绝安慰, 拒绝给我任何一丝希望.

我感到自己被巨大的空虚感包围, 精神濒临崩溃的边缘. 我的世界, 在那一刻彻底崩塌了. 我以为我再也走不出来了.
