I Was So Furious That My Water Broke, and Yet My Husband Told Me to Fend for Myself. As a Result, My Child and I Died…
D
On the day my husband, Jaxon Rivers, married his childhood friend, Ruby Wells, I, Olivia Stone, was so upset that my water broke. My husband quickly called off the wedding. I thought he was going to take me to the hospital, but instead, he turned the car around and drove to Maplewood Residences, locking me inside a house and leaving me to fend for myself.
He then turned around and went back to continue the wedding with Ruby.
Some guests asked if he was being too harsh, but he coldly replied.
“I only married Ruby for the show to please her family. Olivia won’t let it go and deliberately ruined the wedding by peeing herself. She’s only six months pregnant. How could her water have broken?
“I’ll let her out after Ruby and I finish our honeymoon. There’s enough food in the house, so she won’t starve, and maybe this will teach her a
lesson!”
But he didn’t know that, to avoid affecting his career, I had lied about being two months along.
A week later, my husband came back, satisfied and ready to take me home.
When he saw my deflated belly and the decayed body, he completely lost his mind.
Chapter 1
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself at Jaxon and his childhood friend Ruby’s wedding.
Ruby was wearing the pure white wedding gown that Jaxon had custom–made for me, a gown worth millions of dollars. She held his hand tightly, smiling sweetly at him.
She smiled, her eyes full of smug satisfaction.
At this, my eyes filled with tears, and anger bubbled up inside me. I rushed forward to stop them, only to realize I passed right through their bodies.
It hit me then. I was already dead. What was left of me was just a lingering spirit.
Before I could feel the despair, the guests around us started chanting.
“Kiss her, kiss her!”
Most of these people were mutual friends of Jaxon and me.
Not long ago, they had all pitied me. They had sworn that even if Jaxon and Ruby got married, they would never support them.
But now, they betrayed me and chose to back Jaxon and Ruby.
I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
Their previous kindness had all been about getting close to Jaxon. Now that they could please him directly, why would they care about me?
Yet, there was still one person who couldn’t take it. They weakly spoke up.
“Jaxon, isn’t this too much for Olivia? What if something happens to her?”
Jaxon casually swirled his wine glass, his voice indifferent.
“It’s Olivia’s own fault. After the wedding, I’ll let her go.
“The food in there is enough to keep her from starving. She’s spoiled by me. It’s good for her to suffer a little.”

He didn’t know. I was already dead. He had killed me with his own hands.

A week ago, Jaxon had proposed a fake marriage with Ruby, who was pregnant out of wedlock, just to appease her family and deal with
rumors.
I had refused.
“If you really want to play pretend, she could find someone else. Why does she need to involve you, a married man? She’s up to something!”
Jaxon scolded me for being petty, and we argued fiercely.
If this had happened before, I would’ve humbled myself and agreed to his absurd request, making up with him.
But this time, I stood firm. I even threatened divorce to make him abandon the idea.
I never imagined he would secretly marry Ruby behind my back.
When I saw their wedding, it made me so angry that my baby kicked, and my water broke.
Jaxon immediately stopped the ceremony and rushed to carry me to the car.
I thought he was taking me to the hospital, but instead, he turned around and headed straight for Maplewood Residences, locking me in a room to reflect.
It was him. He personally led me to my dead end.
When I came to my senses, Jaxon, as if struck by a thought, called Henry Bennett over.
“Henry, go check on Olivia. If she’s willing to apologize, maybe we can let her out early.”
I could only smile bitterly.
But I didn’t do anything wrong. I had never lied.
At that time, I had truly gone into labor.
But under Ruby’s provocation, Jaxon believed I had intentionally ruined the wedding by wetting myself, making him lose face.
He trusted Ruby more than me.
Seeing Jaxon hesitate, Ruby immediately placed a hand on her belly and said with a pitiful look.
“Jaxon, although Olivia lost control of her emotions and pushed me earlier, she’s still pregnant. It wouldn’t be good if something happened to
her. You should let her out.
“This time, I’ll be careful with my belly. Olivia can hurt me, but she mustn’t harm my baby…”
Earlier, when I had barged in on their wedding, Ruby had used her mouth to mock and provoke me.
Pregnancy hormones were already unstable, and with her taunts, I couldn’t control myself and rushed forward.
Before I could even reach her, she fell to the ground, clutching her belly and screaming in pain.
That was why Jaxon later locked me up in Maplewood Residences to vent his anger for Ruby.
Now, hearing Ruby say this, Jaxon looked at her with concern and patted her hand.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will hurt you or the baby.”
He turned to Henry and coldly commanded, “Tell Olivia that when she’s ready to apologize to Ruby, then we’ll let her out.”
Ruby shyly leaned against Jaxon’s shoulder.

“Jaxon, you’re so good to me and the baby.”
Everyone around them started teasing.
“Jaxon, why don’t you two just make it official? You’ve been childhood sweethearts. Your bond is way deeper than with Olivia!”
Ruby gave a bashful smile and tugged at Jaxon’s sleeve.
I couldn’t help but think that Jaxon would surely agree.
But he frowned and coldly interrupted.
“Don’t say that again. Ruby and I are just in a fake marriage. It’s all for the show.
“Olivia’s quite possessive. If she finds out, she’ll be mad.”
A bitter taste filled my mouth, and a wave of sorrow washed over me.
But this time, I wouldn’t get angry because I was already dead.
If he truly cared, he wouldn’t marry Ruby. Since they were already married, what was the point of saying such hollow words?
Hearing Jaxon’s words, the group fell silent, and Ruby’s expression grew dark.
Just when the atmosphere became awkward, Jaxon’s phone suddenly rang.
He instinctively thought it was me calling to apologize, so he picked up the phone and immediately spoke.
“Olivia, you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the person on the other end interrupted him.
“Hello, are you Ms. Stone’s husband? I’m a doctor at Silverbrook Hospital. We’ve been unable to reach Ms. Stone. Could you bring her in for her check–up on her due date?”
Jaxon looked confused.
“Isn’t she only six months pregnant? What do you mean by due date?”
The doctor paused for a moment before answering slowly, “Six months? She’s already eight months along, almost ready to give birth! And you, as her husband, didn’t know?”
