Semua Bab She Bet on My Death: Bab 1 - Bab 10

In the darkness, I forced a bitter smile.No one knew that the person on stage, who was nestling in Jack's arms and trying to kill me, was my wife.All I could do was watch helplessly. The woman who had hugged me that morning and swore she would give me everything I ever wanted repeatedly confessed her love for Jack in front of everyone.The hyenas were getting dangerously close to my throat. In a daze, I thought I saw the Grim Reaper waving at me.Just when I thought I was about to die, Jack's voice came from the audience."I changed my mind. I want to try something more interesting."Since he's going to die anyway, Honey, why don't we guess if his and his son's hearts are symmetrical?"Jack's cruel voice blasted through the speakers and rang in my ears.Camilla frowned. I thought she had remembered our promise.For our child's heart separation surgery today, she had once traveled to the most famous church to pray.She had prayed for our child and promised she would never br

The baby she had looked forward to so much was cruelly killed by her own hands.The moment we went in opposite directions, the last trace of love I had for Camilla disappeared.Taking the detour almost doubled the time.After the ambulance finally picked me up, it was again blocked by Camilla's convoy ahead.The young nurse looked at my rapidly dropping blood pressure. She jumped out and shouted desperately."Someone is dying! Move out of the way!"Jack and Camilla stayed where they were."It's my son's surgery today. Jack was right. We can't let someone else's bad luck ruin my son's good fortune!"Jack said this, and Jack said that. Everything was up to Jack.Was whatever Jack said a royal decree? He wanted her to kill our baby, so she killed him. He wanted her to block bad luck, and so she did.A sense of anger rose from deep within my chest. It stabbed through me like a knife.I struggled to sit up. I then screamed with all the strength I had left. "Camilla, you wretch!"

It felt like some kind of unavoidable fate.Camilla picked up the ring and stared at it for a long time.After a while, she finally spoke in a dazed whisper. "H-How could this be?"Jack sensed something was wrong. He reached out and grabbed her arm, but she pushed him away instantly.Then, as if she had finally accepted the truth, she stumbled toward me."Frank. Honey, is it really you?"How could this happen? You had so many chances, why didn't you say anything?"Camilla's eyes were filled with unbearable regret. She looked like she was about to bleed tears, but watching her only made me want to sneer.Why didn't I say anything?Then what was the hand gesture I desperately made? What did all those times I tried to grab her hand mean?I had used every bit of strength I had to tell her I was Frank, but what did I get in return?I had received threats and slaps that knocked out my teeth.Camilla clearly thought of the baby whose chest had been cut open. She suddenly froze, an

Jack noticed that Camilla had become extremely busy recently. He could barely see her anymore.She was either at the hospital where I was being treated or at the company.The constant back-and-forth pushed both her body and mind to the edge of collapse.Jack was overjoyed. He thought his opportunity had finally arrived. So he put on the white coat Camilla used to love seeing him wear. He then hid in the resting room inside her office.When Camilla pushed open the door, she saw an extremely suggestive scene.In the past, whenever Jack wore this outfit, Camilla would immediately throw herself at him. The bed would creak all night long.Now, seeing the woman's hand resting on her shoulder, Jack trembled with excitement. It felt as if he could already see his future as the husband of Jaxonville's richest woman.But Camilla only glanced at him coldly. He then slapped him hard across the face."My husband is seriously injured and unconscious in the hospital, yet you're putting on thi

"Camilla, didn't the priest ever tell you that when you make too many unrealistic prayers, God won't hear them?"With every word I said, Camilla's face turned paler. Her back bent lower too.She then pulled a knife from under her clothes.I moved back instinctively.Instead, Camilla turned the handle toward me and placed it on my hand. Her eyes were bloodshot."I just want you to stop feeling angry. You can have the knife. Kill me. I won't complain at all!"She said those words, but there was no fear in her eyes.Seeing me loosely holding the knife, the certainty in her eyes grew stronger. She believed I would never do it.I didn't expose the truth, but I didn't show her any kindness either."Really? But why? Didn't you love Jack more than anything?"If I die, wouldn't he finally be able to become your husband openly?"My words were only a test, but she immediately raised her hand and swore in front of Jack."Frank, please believe me! I only wanted to experience something n
