You're Only Worth Being Pitied, Ex-HusbandChapter 1
I traded three hundred million in investments for a night of passion with Darrick Calderon.
Two months into my pregnancy, Calderon Family finally agreed to give me a wedding.
At the reception, Darrick received an urgent call from the hospital—his former love had overdosed on sleeping pills after a failed investment.
He rushed to leave, but I stopped him by saying, "I have invested three hundred million to have you, Darrick.”
“If you dare leave, I guarantee the Calderon Family will be expelled from Bridgit's elite circles tomorrow!"
He was forced to stay and marry me, but his heart was filled with resentment.
Immediately after the ceremony, Darrick packed his bags and moved to the hospital. He missed every single one of my seven prenatal checkups.
On the day I went into labor, my water broke as I collapsed in a downpour. But Darrick cruelly hung up all 99 of my calls.
As I bled profusely on the operating table, he posted this on his social media, [Thank God, you're okay. I'll never let go of your hand again.]
I died on the operating table, filled with resentment.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on our wedding day.
——
At the wedding banquet, the vibration of my phone pulled me back to reality.
Looking down, I saw a message from an unknown number.
[Whether you paid three hundred million or three billion, with just one word from me, Darrick will abandon you and come back to me. Just wait and see!]
The next second, Darrick's phone rang, Myra Shields's weak voice reached his ears, "Darrick... I'm sorry.”
“If I hadn't misjudged the situation, your family wouldn't be on the brink of bankruptcy and you wouldn't have had to marry a woman you don't love for three hundred million. It's all my fault."
"In our next life, we must meet sooner..."
The voice abruptly cut off, making Darrick's face instantly drained of color.
Just as he was about to redial to check on her, the hospital emergency room called, "Mr. Calderon, Miss Shields swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. She arrived too late and her condition is critical.”
“You're the only contact listed on her phone. Please come immediately. Don't leave any regrets."
The phone slipped from his palm and crashed heavily onto the floor.
Darrick sprang to his feet, ready to dash out.
