My husband’s first love was too scared to perform, so I switched places with her and became an overnight sensation. But she deliberately sprained her ankle and falsely accused me of pushing her. To avenge Olivia Reed, my husband Jack Thompson cut off my left leg. When reattaching the leg, Jack specifically instructed the doctor to put my toes facing backward and my heel forward. The doctor was incredulous, “Mr. Thompson, your wife is a dancer you’ve supported for years. She’s finally famous after persevering for a decade. How can she dance in the future with such a deformed leg?” Jack said, “She hurt Olivia, so she must suffer a thousand times more. How can I not teach her a lesson?” “When Olivia becomes a big star and is no longer bullied, I’ll make it up to her.” Six months later, I received an invitation from the country’s largest talent agency. When the contract termination and divorce papers were placed in front of Jack, his eyes turned red. In my hazy consciousness, I saw the doctor approaching me nervously. When I opened my eyes again, my left foot was facing backward, and the deformed leg made it impossible for me to lie flat on the bed. I heard voices behind me as Olivia Reed and Jack Thompson walked up to me. She abruptly pulled off my blanket and covered her mouth in shock. Olivia shrank into Jack’s arms, wiping her tears. “Jack, I was just complaining a bit. I never meant for Aria to pay such a heavy price.” “After all, I’m just a small-time performer. A sprained ankle isn’t a big deal.” Jack stroked her head affectionately, “You’re just too kind-hearted. How can I not worry when you always put yourself last?” Watching Olivia’s act of playing the victim, I felt nauseated. A few days ago, the company sent Olivia and me to participate in a national live dance competition. Just before the competition started, Olivia suddenly claimed she couldn’t remember the dance moves and hesitated to go on stage. To prevent a broadcast mishap, the production team switched my performance order with Olivia’s. I danced with all my might, and all the judges lit up their approval lights for me. The audience gave me the highest score in history. Nationwide viewers voted for me, and I topped the rankings within minutes. Returning backstage with an excited heart, I saw Olivia crying and holding her swollen foot. “Aria, I know you were jealous that I dance better than you. I wasn’t going on stage anyway, so why did you have to push me down the stairs?” Everyone backstage looked at me with contempt. “What’s the use of dancing well if you have such a vicious heart? Using such despicable means!” Someone had already taken out their phone to film me. “You just wanted fame, right? Fine, I’ll make you famous right now!” I’m not a naturally gifted performer. I had practiced hard for ten years for this day. Only I knew how much hardship I had endured. I couldn’t let it all be ruined like this. “There are surveillance cameras backstage. You can check them!” Olivia cried even more pitifully, “Don’t I know who pushed me? Do we need to check the cameras? Aria, even at this point, are you still trying to smear me?” I was at a loss for words because no one would believe that a dance performer would roll down the stairs on her own before going on stage. I grabbed Jack’s hand, begging him to change my leg back. “Jack, I really didn’t push her. We’ve been together for ten years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?” A hint of reluctance flashed in Jack’s eyes, but he eventually pulled his hand away from mine. “I know you. You’re kind-hearted. But in the face of fame and fortune, people change.” “Do you want me to believe that Olivia, such an innocent girl, would roll down the stairs herself just to frame you?” All the grievances exploded at that moment, and I became somewhat hysterical. “You can check the surveillance footage! Why are you accusing me without caring about the truth?” Olivia immediately shrank into Jack’s arms, trembling. “Jack, Aria looked just like this when she pushed me down the stairs that day. I’m so scared. Don’t hurt me, please don’t hurt me…” Jack pulled Olivia into his arms to comfort her. But when he looked at me, his eyes turned fierce. “Aria Collins, I know you don’t like Olivia, but I never thought you could be so vicious! Are you trying to destroy Olivia?” I bit my lip hard, not wanting to let the tears fall, but the next second, I broke down completely. “Jack, do you really want to treat me like this…” His eyes showed a hint of disgust. “It seems you still don’t know where you went wrong. Do I need to reverse your other leg too?!” At that moment, I suddenly realized that Jack’s heart had already drifted away. Now he would only believe Olivia’s tears. Olivia trembled in Jack’s arms, her eyes full of grievance, “Sister also said that she had practiced hard for ten years just waiting for this opportunity. If I didn’t give it to her, she would stop her grandfather’s medical treatment and beat him to death to feed the dogs.” Jack’s eyes turned blood-red. Without waiting for my explanation, he grabbed my shoulder and dragged me off the bed. “Now kneel down and apologize to Olivia!”
Olivia was an orphan, with only a seriously ill grandfather as her only relative. It was with this backstory that she had clung to Jack’s leg while begging on the street, asking him to take her in. But the last time I went to see her grandfather, I caught her frantically slapping the old man’s face, saying, “You old bastard, I’m about to become a star, and I still have to take care of a dog like you!” My right leg was forced to kneel, but my left knee couldn’t bend backward. As soon as force was applied, the already injured area broke again. The wound hadn’t healed and reopened. My left leg fell straight down. The doctor heard the commotion and rushed in, quickly going out to call for help. Soon, a group of nurses and doctors rushed into my hospital room. Jack was obviously panicked, “How did this happen…” Olivia instructed from the side: “Jack, this is just her trick. She’s just trying to make her leg fall off to gain sympathy and get her leg changed back!” Jack sneered, “Right, this is just another one of your tricks. Doctor, still follow my previous instructions. We’ll consider changing it back when she truly repents.” The doctors and nurses looked at each other, but this hospital was funded by Jack, and no one dared to disobey his wishes. Just as the doctor was about to give me anesthesia, Olivia said pitifully, “If only I had anesthesia when I fell down the stairs.” With one order from Jack, no one dared to use anesthesia on me anymore. After waves of excruciating pain, I passed out. When I opened my eyes again, my leg was completely numb. Olivia and Jack didn’t realize I had woken up and were embracing and kissing passionately next to my bed. I used to think Jack only sympathized with Olivia and doted on her like a sister. I never imagined they would do such things in front of my hospital bed. Jack’s hand had already slipped under Olivia’s shirt. Olivia fell softly into Jack’s arms. “Jack, whose body do you prefer, mine or Aria’s?” “Yours, of course. You’re like boneless, while Aria is always as stiff as a board.” As he spoke, Jack carefully caressed Olivia’s facial skin, his eyes full of tenderness. Olivia faced me, a smile curling at the corner of her mouth. This was all deliberately shown to me. She pushed Jack away, pretending to be flustered, “Aria, you’re awake…” Seeing my pale face, Jack finally felt a pang of conscience and asked Olivia to leave. He stroked my face and poured me a glass of water. “Aria, I just wanted you to apologize to Olivia. You have me and the company, but what does Olivia have? Nothing but a seriously ill grandfather.” “She’s like our little sister. You should be coddling her.” Little sister? Jack still thought I hadn’t seen their behavior just now, that I was still in the dark. He had my leg turned into this state just to please Olivia. Looking at the person I once wanted to spend my life with turning into this, I felt both pathetic and ridiculous. Jack continued to comfort me, “Once Olivia becomes famous, I’ll change your leg back. We’ll go abroad together, and no one will be able to bother us anymore.” The greatest sorrow is a dead heart. When you’re completely disappointed in someone, you don’t even want to argue anymore. I forced myself to sit up and calmly said, “Jack, let’s get a divorce.” Jack frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about?” I turned my head away, my mind made up. He picked up a cup and smashed it on the floor. Olivia rushed in at the sound. Jack pointed at me and roared, “Aria Collins, don’t forget who gave you everything you have today. Don’t say I’m only wasting one of your legs. Even if I wanted your life, you’d still be my ghost even if you died!” “I’ll cancel all your schedules. You just stay here and recover. When the time is right, I’ll come to get you.” With that, he put his arm around Olivia’s waist to leave. Olivia looked back at me and said, “It’s best to tie her up. If sister escapes, Jack will surely be heartbroken.” Jack ordered people to tie me to the bed. “Jack, let me go! This is imprisonment!” But he didn’t even look back. In the days that followed, I had to have someone bring a basin for me to use the toilet, like a person without dignity.
Half a year later, Jack appeared in the hospital room again. This time, he had prepared a dance dress that exposed the legs for me. “Aria, put this on today. You’ll perform on the same stage as Olivia.” During the half year I was tied to the bed, I wasn’t completely ignorant of what was happening outside. The nurses felt sorry for me and told me a lot. During the half year I was confined to bed, the two of them would go traveling and having fun every few days. Olivia was average-looking with mediocre dance skills and wasn’t hardworking. She couldn’t make any waves in the entertainment industry. Recently, someone had started a trend hoping for my return. Jack’s move was to let Olivia ride on my popularity. “Aria, I promise this is the last time. Once Olivia becomes famous today, I’ll take you abroad tomorrow.” Jack seemed to be discussing with me, but it was actually just coercion. I was stripped naked and changed into the dance dress. Then I was carried and put into the show’s business car. I was thrown onto the stage, limping. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Olivia completed a dance. Everyone’s attention was drawn to me, and they didn’t pay much attention to Olivia. At the same time, a video of Olivia accusing me of pushing her backstage six months ago went viral. Suddenly, Olivia became an internet sensation. “I heard no one was willing to perform with Aria the cripple this time, only Olivia agreed. And that’s her former enemy who tried to harm her!” “Olivia is too kind-hearted. She deserves to be famous!” “I heard Olivia’s foot injury was quite serious back then. Her dancing skills have fallen drastically. The top spot six months ago should have been Olivia’s.” Backstage, Olivia stepped on my head in the toilet bowl, flushing repeatedly. “You’re not still expecting Jack to fulfill his promise to take you abroad, are you? I’m already pregnant with Jack’s child. After the baby is born, do you think he’ll want a popular starlet or a crippled wife like you?” When Olivia kicked me out the door, Jack, who was coming in, saw it. He pulled Olivia back. “Are you crazy? If someone sees you bullying her at this time, you’ll be ruined completely!” Olivia instantly became teary-eyed and pitiful. “So Jack is still worried about her. Then I’ll leave!” Jack hugged her again. “What am I going to do with you? I’m planning all this for you.” Olivia cried like a tear-soaked person in Jack’s arms, “Then after our child is born, will you marry me?” Jack paused, “Olivia, I’ve told you many times, I’ll give you everything I have, but I’ll only have one wife in this life, and that’s Aria.” Olivia’s expression froze for a moment as she slowly slid down from Jack’s body. She covered her belly, “Jack, my stomach was just hit by Aria. It hurts so much now.” Jack’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at me, kicking me against the wall. “You really never learn! If anything happens to Olivia’s child today, I’ll break both your legs!” He carried Olivia away, disappearing at the end of the corridor. At this moment, a woman walked in from outside and handed me a business card. She was the agent from Starlight, the largest talent agency in the country. Most of the hottest stars in the country came from there. She helped me into a wheelchair, carefully tidied my hair strand by strand, then crouched beside me, giving me the utmost respect. “Miss Collins, we’ve always admired your talent. Our company has video footage of Olivia falling down the stairs herself, and we have the best medical conditions in the country to restore your leg.” “If you’re willing to work with us, we can solve all your current problems.” Looking at myself in the mirror, already tortured to barely resemble a human, I made up my mind to leave this place. “Prepare the contract termination and divorce agreement for me. I’ll sign with you.” One hour later, in Jack’s office, his assistant ran in from outside. Jack was comforting Olivia while asking, “Have you brought Aria back? Has she admitted her mistake?” The assistant didn’t dare to breathe loudly, stammering in response, “Mr. Thompson, when we arrived, your wife was already gone.” ———-This is the breakpoint———-
