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… 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.

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?”

Jaxon froze, his fingers gripping the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned pale. Seeing his shocked expression, I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. It was a crucial moment for the company’s stock market listing, and I had kept my pregnancy a secret for two months to avoid distracting him. I told him I was only six months pregnant. But if Jaxon had paid more attention, he would’ve noticed the check-up report in my drawer, showing the true due date. If he cared enough, how could I have hidden it? It all came down to the fact that he simply didn’t care enough about me. At that moment, someone couldn’t help but voice their thoughts. “So Olivia didn’t just wet herself earlier? Her water broke?” As soon as the words left their mouth, Jaxon shot Henry a death glare. “Henry, you went with Olivia to her check-ups. Didn’t you say she was only six months pregnant? What’s going on here?” Henry avoided Jaxon’s gaze, looking guilty. He felt guilty. After all, he was indirectly responsible for my death. After my water broke, I immediately called Jaxon for help. But then, his assistant, who knew the truth, stepped in and claimed I was only six months pregnant. Ruby, ever the troublemaker, fueled the situation by saying I wet myself to embarrass Jaxon. With their words echoing in his head, Jaxon believed I was lying and locked me away in the abandoned Maplewood Residences. As soon as he left, I started bleeding heavily from the shock. I begged Henry, crying, to save me and the baby. But he pushed me aside, stomped on my hand, and ruthlessly kicked my stomach again and again. Then, with a cold look on his face, he shut the door and walked away. The pain was suffocating, and soon, warm liquid began to flow from me, staining the ground. The baby I had carried for months was reduced to a pool of blood and flesh. Despair consumed me. My life was slipping away, and my breaths grew weaker. In the end, I succumbed to the agony, unwillingly taking my last breath. Now, when I think back, I can still feel that unbearable pain as if it happened just moments ago. When Henry didn’t know how to speak up, Ruby deliberately mocked him, saying, “Jaxon, I didn’t expect Olivia to be so petty. Just to spite you, she even pretended to be sick and went to see a doctor. “If it were me, no matter how angry I was, I would never embarrass you or make things worse…” Ruby’s words provoked Jaxon, and his gaze turned cold. He replied to the doctor, “Tell Olivia to stop with these childish tricks. I don’t have time to play her games!” With that, Jaxon hung up the phone decisively. Ruby smiled smugly, a glint of triumph in her eyes. After the wedding, once the guests had left, Jaxon was about to take Ruby home. But Ruby suddenly suggested she go back with him. “Jaxon, if we’re going to act, we might as well go all the way. At least on our wedding night, I should stay with you. Otherwise, how will people not gossip?” Jaxon hesitated, his brow furrowing deeply. He had promised me he wouldn’t let anyone but me step into our new home. But now, it seemed like he was about to break that promise. When she saw Jaxon waver, Ruby’s eyes reddened, and she grabbed his sleeve, shaking it. “Jaxon, please, for the sake of the baby… help me, okay? “If people find out I’m pregnant and unmarried, how will I live with the shame? Do you want to see me ruined?” In the end, Jaxon reluctantly agreed. Jaxon was worried about Ruby’s reputation, but he didn’t realize how much harm this would cause me… Lost in thought, Jaxon had already brought Ruby into our newlywed home. As soon as they entered, the housekeeper, Laura Hall, greeted them. “Mr. and Mrs. Rivers, welcome home!” But upon seeing Ruby, she quickly corrected herself. “Oh, I mean… Ms. Wells.” Ruby’s smile froze, and she subtly nudged Jaxon’s elbow, whispering, “Jaxon, don’t let it slip.” Jaxon’s expression turned icy, and he ordered the housekeeper, “Call Ruby Mrs. Rivers.’” I was taken aback. But he had promised I would be his one and only Mrs. Rivers. Now, it seemed he was willing to share the title… The housekeeper, confused, spoke up on my behalf. “Mr. Rivers, I think Mrs. Rivers will be upset…” Jaxon paused for a moment before responding, “Once Olivia returns, we’ll change it back. Until then, call Ruby Mrs. Rivers.’” Ruby, pleased with the arrangement, raised her chin proudly. She walked into the bedroom, wearing my clothes, my jewelry, and even using my lipstick, acting like the lady of the house. Jaxon simply glanced at her without saying a word, silently tolerating her behavior. The housekeeper, Laura Hall, seemed ready to protest, but Jaxon stopped her. “Laura, can you make some barbecue ribs and tomato-baked chicken legs? Ruby loves those. “Oh, and don’t add thyme or chili. She doesn’t like them…” Jaxon was attentive, giving detailed instructions about Ruby’s preferences. My heart ached. He had lived with me for so long and didn’t even know I was allergic to seafood, but he knew Ruby’s every liking. I had always thought he was careless, but now I realized how thoughtful and gentle he could be. At that moment, Ruby noticed a scarf in the wardrobe. It was a scarf I had spent weeks knitting for Jaxon, with the letters LJR embroidered on it, short for [Love Jaxon Rivers.] Ruby ripped the scarf off the shelf, her expression darkening. “Olivia, you’re dead and still can’t let go! “You’re just a replacement, and you dare to covet my things? You don’t deserve it!” I froze. How did she know I was dead? Was Henry working with her? Before I could react, Ruby grabbed the scarf and tore it to shreds, then threw it on the floor and stomped on it several times. At that moment, Jaxon suddenly burst into the room. When he saw the ruined scarf on the floor, his face turned cold.

“Ruby, what are you doing?” I froze for a moment. I thought, “Jaxon cared so much about the scarf I gave him. Does that mean he has feelings for me too?” But before I could figure it out, Ruby’s eyes reddened, and tears started to sparkle in them. “Jaxon, I… I just thought the scarf was so beautiful. I wanted to try it on, but I didn’t expect it to tear. “This scarf has your name embroidered on it. I’m guessing Olivia gave it to you, right? I’m sorry. I ruined it…” The scarf clearly looked like it had been cut. Ruby’s lie was full of holes, but Jaxon believed it. He didn’t blame her. Instead, he took her hand with concern. “It’s just a scarf. Are you okay? Did you hurt your hand? “If you like it, I’ll have Olivia make another one for you.” At this, my heart slowly turned cold. Jaxon wasn’t panicking because of my scarf. He was worried about Ruby getting hurt. I thought, “And he even wanted me to have Olivia make another one for Ruby? Was my sincerity so cheap in his eyes? In the end, I was just fooling myself.” I didn’t want to watch them being so close, so I tried to escape mentally, but my soul could only linger around Jaxon. Helpless, I turned my head away, hoping not to see. Seeing that Jaxon wasn’t angry, Ruby grew even bolder, asking if she could sleep with him tonight. To my surprise, Jaxon avoided her touch, pulling away and coldly saying, “Ruby, this is just an act for others. Don’t push it.” Ruby reluctantly went to the guest room, her eyes flashing with bitterness as she left. After she left, Jaxon lay on the bed, tossing and turning. After a while, he took out his phone and repeatedly read through our chat history. But the messages were still stuck at the ones from the morning. This made Jaxon a little puzzled, even when I was angry. I would never go this long without replying. Conflicted, he still sent me a message. [Still, sulking? If you just apologize, I can let you out anytime. You’re just too stubborn…] But there was still no reply. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to reply, but that I couldn’t. After all, how could a dead person reply to messages? Jaxon scratched his head in frustration, deciding not to bother with me anymore, and turned off his screen to sleep. But he, who usually slept well, couldn’t fall asleep for the first time. The next day, Jaxon woke up with dark circles under his eyes and immediately grabbed his phone to send me a message. [I’ve punished you long enough. I’ll come to get you in a bit.] He was about to leave to find me when Ruby stopped him. “Jaxon, my relatives back home already know about our marriage. They really want to meet you. “Can you please help me out one more time?”

With Ruby’s big, teary eyes, Jaxon couldn’t bring himself to say no and reluctantly agreed. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to send me a message. [Sorry, Olivia, something came up. I’ll be a few days late picking you up.] I thought, “Jaxon was… informing me?” This took me by surprise. After all, he had always been the kind of person who acted on his own, ditching me without a second thought, never considering how I felt. Now, he was explaining things to me. If I were still alive, I might have been glad to see his change. But I was already dead, and whether he changed or not didn’t matter to me anymore. My soul followed Jaxon back to Ruby’s hometown. As soon as we got out of the car, Ruby’s relatives surrounded Jaxon, showering him with praise. “So this is Jaxon? You’ve really made it! You’re like a totally different person from when you were younger!” “No wonder Ruby’s so lucky. You two were childhood sweethearts, and now you’re together. It’s truly fate!” At the dinner table, Ruby’s aunts and uncles kept piling food onto Jaxon’s plate. Ruby’s dad was crazily clinking glasses with Jaxon, drinking so much that his face turned red. “Jaxon, I’ve always believed in you. Now that Ruby’s married to you, we can finally relax. “But Ruby’s pregnant with your child. How about transferring some of your company shares to her unborn child just to secure their future? Ruby’s family clearly had plans to get their hands on Jaxon’s wealth. I had warned Jaxon more than once that Ruby was only getting close to him for a reason, but he said I was being petty and jealous, spreading rumors about Ruby. He trusted Ruby completely and was always on guard around me. But I was his wife, not her. Jaxon stayed silent, his face darkening. Ruby quickly tried to smooth things over. “Dad, it’s too early to talk about this. We can always transfer the shares after the baby is born.” With that, she picked up a piece of fish and tried to calm him down. What she didn’t know was that Jaxon had a sensitive stomach and couldn’t handle spicy food. Normally, I was the one who carefully removed all the bones before serving him fish. Now, Jaxon just stared at the plate of fish in silence, lost in thought. Seeing that Jaxon wasn’t responding, Ruby’s aunts and uncles broke the silence. “By the way, Jaxon, now that you and Ruby are married, when are you going to register your marriage?” “Yeah, you can’t just let Ruby follow you around without any proper status.” Ruby took the chance to hook her arm through Jaxon’s, her cheeks flushing. “Jaxon, why don’t we…” I thought for sure Jaxon would agree since he had already shown he’d give up his wife and child for Ruby. But instead, Jaxon slammed his hand on the table, pushed Ruby away, and said coldly. “Ruby, I already made it clear before, we’re just pretending. It was never going to be real. “I have something else to do, so I’m leaving.” Ruby’s face stiffened for a moment before she rushed to grab him. “Jaxon, you know how I feel about you. Why won’t you give me a chance? “I know you have feelings for me, too, or why would you help me so much?” Jaxon furrowed his brow, his face darkening. “Ruby, looks like I gave you the wrong impression. “I don’t love you. The one I love is Olivia.” Without another word, he turned and left, heading straight for Maplewood Residences. Before getting into his car, he sent me a message. “Olivia, wait for me. I’m coming to pick you up!” Jaxon arrived at the villa soon after. His unexpected arrival startled Henry, the assistant standing at the door. “Mr. Rivers, what are you doing here?” “I came to see Olivia. Call her out.” Henry broke into a cold sweat, stammering. “Mr. Rivers, maybe you can come back another day? Mrs. Rivers… she…” Jaxon felt a sudden unease in his chest. Without waiting for Henry to finish, he pushed past him and stormed inside. As soon as the door opened, a terrible stench and the sharp scent of blood hit him. In the center of the villa lay a decaying corpse!
