I was engulfed by a strong sense of unease, as if everyone wanted to harm me.
It was Charlie who suggested we go out to see the ocean. Could it be that all of this was arranged by him?
That night, I was still unable to sleep, and in the middle of the night, Charlie got up and went outside.
I didn't know where he went, but after a while, I heard faint whispers outside the villa window.
"Why haven't you made a move yet?"
Charlie said, "Wait a bit longer; she's very alert right now."
"You said you'd always love me. Besides, I'm carrying your child."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure she dies without a trace..."
"Just push her into the sea. No one will see it."
The woman's voice was unfamiliar, but the man's voice was definitely Charlie's!
My husband had an affair, and the other woman was pregnant with his child...
Because of this, he wanted to kill me without anyone knowing!
Right, Charlie's company still depended on my father's investment, so he wouldn't dare harm me openly.
But if it were all an accident, even a reasonable one...
I immediately grabbed my phone and dialed the police, then ran out of the villa under the cover of night.
The island was pitch black at night, and the darkness around me was terrifying.
As I ran down the road, I felt lost and helpless.
The husband I spent every day with wanted to kill me for another woman.
Who could I trust now?
I called my parents, but found their phones were turned off.
My dad has trouble sleeping, so they silence or turn off their phones before bed.
I hurriedly called my best friend Aria.
The phone rang for a long time before she answered, her voice groggy as if she had just woken up.
"Nyla, are you enjoying your trip? Sorry, I just finished a concert. I'm too exhausted to move."
Hearing the word 'concert' made my heart ache as if it were being twisted, the pain was such a persistent disease.
It was like a demon in the night, finding the perfect moment to gnaw at my wounds.
The venue I had booked was non-refundable, so I transferred it to Aria before the vacation.
On stage, she was greeted by applause from all directions, and on social media, she had become a dazzling new star.
I couldn't control my sobs. "Aria, please help me... Charlie, he has another woman, he wants to kill me!"
"What?" Aria was shocked. "Nyla, how are you now? He didn't hit you, did he?"
"No... I'm just so scared..."
