The Ten Years I Hated Him the Most

"Don't worry. I have no feelings for him. If he hadn't deceived me, I wouldn't have gone to jail."

I was convinced again and again that I had no feelings for James, and Belle finally relaxed.

then stay here first. Your parents are not alive anymore. Treat this place as your home."

I nodded and smiled at her, saying, "You married a good man."

After saying that, I watched her go to the bridal chamber with my ex-boyfriend for their wedding night.

Before leaving, James turned back and said with his lips, "You are so cheap."

...

Waving my hand, I didn't care about his insults at all.

"After all, what interests me more now is Belle's self-righteous confidence."

“She wants to be a good person in front of me, but she doesn't know that the person she likes betrayed her ten years ago."

"James has now become a typical man who relied on a rich woman to get rid of his poor background."

"As long as Belle is here, he will treat her dearly."

Belle intentionally or unintentionally showed off in front of me.

"After James and I graduated, we started a business together. Lou's contribution to the Conner Group is remarkable!"

At the dining table, she boasted about her achievements with James, forgetting her parents who passed away two years ago.

They were always affectionate. I heard their shameful vows through the wall.

Their shamelessness made me unable to fall asleep. Upon pushing the door open, I happened to see James coming out to smoke.

His shirt was hanging loosely on him, with a few red marks on his skin.

We looked at each other from a distance. Then, we quickly averted our gaze.

"Honey."

Belle walked out from behind and leaned softly on James.

"Natalya, you're here too. That's great. We're going on a date, so could you please clean the room for us?"

As she spoke, she took James to the cloakroom.

In no time, they left the house, looking glamorous, while I, wearing an apron, pushed open their bridal chamber.

It was messy everywhere.

I squatted down and silently picked up the used sanitary items on the ground.

A nauseating smell like the stone orchid hit me, stirring up some memories deep in my mind.

I thought for a long time and decided.

Then, I threw it into the trash can with force.
