Wife Swap on Our Fifth Anniversary Chapter 9

The iron cage was locked.

The wild dogs savagely bit them.

Ethan's gaze never left me.

His eyes reddened at the corners.

"Chelsea, did it hurt like this for you back then?"

His belated repentance disgusted me.

I said nothing.

Just quietly watched them get torn bloody by the dogs.

Just like I once was.

Some people questioned whether I was too cruel.

I played their video of humiliating me on the big screen behind me.

"These two people and I are mortal enemies."

Instantly, no one spoke.

Ethan and Lily were quickly thrown out of my house.

From that day on, Ethan's business partners terminated their contracts.

Lily was also expelled from her school.

The two lived in poverty.

Ethan knelt on my regular route every day.

Begging my forgiveness.

But I never acknowledged him.

Belated affection is utterly worthless.

The light in Ethan's eyes faded day by day under my indifference.

Until one day, he stopped kneeling.

I saw news about him and Lily.

They'd killed each other.

The deaths were reportedly gruesome.

After his death, his assistant gave me a small box.

Inside was a brilliant diamond ring.

Beneath it was a note in Ethan's handwriting.

"Honey, receiving this gift means we'll be together forever. You're happy, right?"

I turned and threw the ring and note in the trash.

Ethan and I did have happy times.

Unfortunately, his lifetime was too short.

While mine still has a long way to go.
