My Swimming Coach Boyfriend Left Me to Die at the Bottom of the Sea

Ethan took it upon himself to invite my best friend, Sophie, on our couple's trip without my consent.

While we were enjoying the ocean, a tsunami struck, and Sophie and I were swept further away, nearing a dangerous whirlpool.

My boyfriend,Ethan, a swimming coach, rushed to help.

Since I was wearing a life jacket, he chose to save Sophie first, who was struggling with cramps and only had a single life buoy.

Not far from Sophie, a rescue boat was approaching.

Meanwhile, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and found myself unable to swim effectively. Desperately, I tried to reach Ethan, shouting for help.

But he turned to me with cold indifference, delivering what felt like a death sentence, "Emma, stop pretending! You know how to swim; I would know if you were in trouble. Are you seriously jealous of Sophie at a time like this?"

He pushed me away forcefully.

Little did he know that my life jacket was deflating.

"Ethan, please... save me..."

The waves crashed against my face like falling boulders as I struggled in the water, salty sea filling my nostrils. "My stomach hurts so much; I can't keep going... Can I hold onto your shoulder and swim together?"

I fought hard to get closer to Ethan, but the waves kept dragging me back.

"Emma, enough already! You're wearing a life jacket! What are you whining about? You can swim!" His expression hardened into annoyance instead of concern.

"Sophie can't swim at all and only has one buoy; she needs my help more than you do!"

Sophie's voice broke through the wind, "Ethan, don't worry about me! Save Emma first; I'm fine!"

The roar of the rescue boat's engine thundered nearby as I swallowed my bitterness, "There's a rescue team heading to Sophie! Ethan, please! I'm losing strength... My stomach hurts so badly; I can't hold on much longer."

"Don't abandon me! You promised you'd always protect me." I reached out for Ethan's arm, pleading with him, "I'm not lying! And my life jacket..."

But he merely glanced at me dismissively, shattering my will to survive, "You dare mention the life jacket? Sophie gave it to you out of concern for your safety while you're here sulking over her! You're putting her life at risk!"

"Emma, you were once my best student. I don't understand why you're now trying to deceive me with this drowning act. You really think just because I love you that I'll fall for your poor performance?"

"You can swim perfectly well; how could you be so selfish as not to give her your life jacket?"

"Sophie is weaker than you; it's my duty and responsibility to save someone more vulnerable."

"Please stop being jealous in such dire circumstances! Sophie can't swim; she's truly in danger!"

He then pried my fingers off him one by one, his face icy, "Swim back to shore by yourself; don't drag me down!"

At that moment, pain coursed through me; my face turned pale from agony as if thousands of needles were stabbing into my head.

I could only watch helplessly as the man I loved for seven years abandoned me in this life-or-death situation and swam toward another woman.

As Ethan's figure faded into the distance, my life jacket finally deflated completely.

Without its buoyancy support, the next wave crashed over me, pulling me under the water.

The suffocating saltwater filled my nose while sharp pain gripped my abdomen, robbing me of all strength and resistance. I couldn't break free from death's grasp and sank into the depths of the sea.
