When She Ruined My Marriage

"How dare she!" I gritted my teeth and with tears streaming down my face, I kicked a vase hard and sent it flying toward Becca.

Frank grabbed my chin. I could see the blazing anger in his eyes. "You are testing my limit, Tanya."

After he said that, he dragged me forcefully toward the kitchen without care of my resistance. 

Meanwhile, his bodyguards had already picked up the fish, cleaned it and thrown it into the pot.

I felt like a puppet being controlled because the bodyguards as they hold my hands, forced me to add salt and other ingredients to the pot under Frank's command.

The fishy smell from the soup overwhelms me and in turn, it causes me to feel dizzy and retch violently.

Suddenly, something seemed to occur to Frank and he ordered his bodyguards to release me.

As soon as they released my hands, I collapsed to the floor. I could only see the boiling white soup through the veil of my tears.

I had suffered so much in Frank's hands and even after I bore his child, I was still subjected to slander.

 And my baby … even in his death, he was still defiled like this! This was all my fault! I had failed to protect him!

This realization and the tremendous inner pain made me retch violently.

And still, the man thought I was just acting. "Tanya, stop pretending. You have never experienced morning sickness since the very beginning, just admit your mistakes!"

I just laughed bitterly. "You are right. I have made a mistake … A huge mistake!"

Yes! My biggest mistake was getting involved in Frank's life.

With her sharp voice that grated my ears, Becca purposely added fuel to the fire. "So, you've finally admitted it. However, what's the use? Tell me, what kind of poison you gave to Sadie! Apologize to my dog immediately!"

The sorrow and shame hit me like a tidal wave. I staggered to my feet and walked toward the soup. Without caring about the scalding heat of the soup, I desperately plunged my hands into the pot, trying to retrieve my baby.

"No, you can eat it! I won't let you! My baby …." I muttered incoherently.

Frank rushed forward to stop me. He pulled my hand from the pot and put my hands under running cold water. "Are you gone mad, Tanya?"

Somehow, I find the strength to break free from him and throw myself at the fish soup again, while still repeating that it can't be eaten.

Seeing me act like this, turned Frank's confusion into rage. He directly poured the fish soup into the dog bowl.

"No!" I yelled in anguished.

However, it was too late.

The bodyguards held me back as I watched helplessly the last shred of my hope being devoured by the dog.

With utter despair, I yelled and screamed madly. "Frank! You are worse than a beast! I'll kill you!"

Perhaps my expression was too terrifying because Becca shrunk her body behind Frank and whispered to him, "Frank, you had been too good to Tanya. Look at her. She is using her pregnancy to disrespect you." 

This successfully made Frank frown and sneer coldly. "I really misjudged you. How can someone like you be a mother?"

I laughed maniacally and screamed, "Do you think you'll still be a father? You're not worthy!"

Frank was thoroughly enraged. "Fine! Tanya, I've given you chances. Since you refuse to admit your mistake, I'll find the evidence myself. Be ready to face the consequences!"

He immediately calls his secretary. "Bring me Tanya's itinerary, immediately! I want to know where she bought the poisonous meat!"

The secretary quickly replied to him, "Mr. Hansen, that day, Mrs. Hansen went to the hospital. and she ...."

Before he could finish his sentence, Frank sneered and interrupted him, "Oh, I forgot you used to be a nurse. Did you use a prohibited drug? Tanya, you’re truly despicable!"

"Quick! Investigate what medicine she bought!" Frank roared.

With trembled body, the secretary tried to intervene, "Mr. Hansen, Mrs. Hansen did not get any medication that day. She had a miscarriage. "

Frank staggered. His pupils dilated in shock as he yelled, "Impossible! What nonsense are you spouting about?"
