The Dangers of Love: My Husband Gave Up on Me to Save His First Love

I was kidnapped when I was five months pregnant. Tragically, the kidnapper was hired by my husband’s childhood sweetheart, Casey Paul.

My husband, Miquel Walker, was a top lawyer who would rather abandon me and our child to protect his childhood sweetheart. Even when my dad died, he did not come and chose to attend his sweetheart’s puppy's funeral.

I could not help exclaim, "Miquel, so you tell me that my dad is not as important as a puppy?"

He answered "Yes,” without hesitation.

After I filed for divorce, he pretended to be seriously ill and begged me to look back at him.

After I opened my eyes, I was in an attic in the wilderness, where Casey and I were kidnapped.

The kidnappers asked my husband to choose between two options and as expected, he chose his first love, Casey.

"You've been married since you were thirty, so your innocence is no longer important to you. That’s why I will go save Casey first, okay?"

After Miquel finished speaking, he ran straight to Casey without even looking at me.

In the next second, the kidnappers' hands kept groping my body. Even though I resisted hard, they not only didn't let me go, but became more and more excited with my reaction.

"Your husband has said that your innocence is worthless, so why don’t you accompany us for having fun?"

I knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them with all my strength. My five-month pregnant belly prevented me from bending down completely, but even so I did not get any sympathy from them.

Miquel had carried Casey away, while my clothes were torn to pieces by the kidnappers.

The human instinct of escape made me run quickly to Miquel, but he just looked at me as if I was garbage.

“It's important to save Casey first. After all, I won't despise you even if you lose your innocence," he said indifferently.

I knelt on the ground and hugged Miquel's legs tightly, begging him to take me away too.

But at that moment, Casey fell into a coma, making Miquel afraid that something might happen to her. As a result, he did not have the patience to argue with me.

The next moment he kicked me and even though I tried my best to protect my belly, I still fell to the ground.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a pain in my abdomen and the feeling of falling made me feel like I was dying. 

When I woke up, I was in the hospital, while the baby in my belly had died.

At the moment, my phone screensaver had the message from Miquel and today's hot searches.

[Miquel: Don’t cry over spilled milk. Even if you lose a child today, you can always have another one later. After all, I've already sent you to the hospital, so you better stop making a fuss.]

His message felt like beads from a broken string.

Because when I did my prenatal check-up, the doctor said that I was lucky to have the baby. He even asked us to take good care of that hard-earned child.

But as a father, Miquel did not feel any pity about the baby. How cruel he was.

As for that day’s hot search, it was related to me and Miquel. The first title was, ‘Popular Actress Carla Hess Was Suspected of Being Kidnapped and Lost Her Innocence’

The other one was, ‘Top Lawyer Miquel Walker Bought the Film and Television Rights.’

At that moment, the comment section was full of insults. Some said that I was not worthy of Miquel and some asked me to die as a token of my sin.

At that moment, Casey updated a status for her circle of friends, with a picture of Miquel kissing her forehead and the caption read, "The air is sweet when I am with Miquel."

After the picture was posted, Casey sent me two messages.

[Casey: The trending search that destroyed your innocence was bought by Miquel to protect me. You must be very heartbroken, right?]

[Casey: I came back this time just to take away everything from you, including Miquel.]

Casey spoke arrogantly and confidently and all that confidence was given to her by Miquel.

After recuperating at home for a short while, I returned to the circle.

Miquel had not been home for a long time. He also did not reply to my text messages or answer my phone calls.

I wanted to rest at home for a few more days, but my agent advised me to go out and show up earlier to avoid being misunderstood again.

I thought so too. I could not always rely on Miquel. Sooner or later, I would have to go out and face reality.

As a result, I was interviewed, but the host always asked me about the kidnapping in a vague way.

Since it was a live interview, more and more people came to watch as her interview topic changed.

I could feel her topic pressing on me and I noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, I found that the person was Casey. I was wondering why the topic of today's interview was so wrong. It turned out that the host was bribed by her.

“Excuse me, Ms. Hess, what do you think about abortion and kidnapping?"

Faced with the host's repeated questioning, I chose to leave directly. 

However, she kept handing the microphone to my mouth. I just answered it by smiling and said sorry, then prepared to get up.

But that day she seemed determined to continue interviewing me and kept pulling my sleeve to prevent me from leaving.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hess. We have already paid you for the interview. Would not it be inappropriate for you to just leave?"

I looked up at the host; she looked at me with provocation and sarcasm.

I handed the microphone back to her and said I could refund all the money.

After that, I went backstage to get my things and leave, Casey also came.

She dressed low-key that day, wearing a mask and a baseball cap. 

The outfit was obviously carefully arranged, making it hard not to think that what happened that day had nothing to do with her.

"Ms. Hess, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. After losing your child, you can't even rest properly. What’s more, you have to come out and show up in public.

“Miquel probably hasn't been home for a while. I'm sorry he's been with me these past few days."

Listening to Casey's proud and arrogant words, I suppressed the anger in my heart.

We were in public at that moment, with so many eyes staring at me. That was why I could not lose my temper with her, otherwise it would be bad for my reputation.

I kept giving myself psychological counseling in my heart, thinking that there were some things I had not confirmed personally, so I should not misunderstand Miquel.

Finally, I managed to suppress my anger, but the diamond bracelet on Casey's wrist completely broke my heart.

The diamond bracelet on her wrist was the same as mine. That diamond bracelet was given to me by Miquel on my birthday, that was the day before yesterday.

Miquel knew the exact size of my bracelet, but the size of the bracelet he bought that time was a bit small. He said it was a problem with artificial additives, so I believed him at the time.

But I realized the truth after I saw the diamond bracelet that Casey deliberately showed me.

The treasure that I got turned out to be her leftovers.
