Betraying the Sincere Wife, Regretting Till the Last Breath

After catching Leon Rockfell and his first love in bed for the fifth time,Julianne Crosss world finally collapsed.

You bitch!How long have you stalked on Leon and me?Silvana dragged Julianne and jumped from the second floor with her.

Silvana only got minor injuries.It was unfortunately for Julianne who was three months pregnant.She had heavy bleeding and fainted after the fall.

Before losing consciousness,Julianne saw Leon run straight to his first love,Silvana Blake,without hesitation.At that moment,her heart completely broke.

When Julianne woke up in the hospital,she seemed like a different person.She no longer asked Leon to stay with her.She no longer sent him messages.

Even when she knew Leon was taking care of Silvana...the very woman that caused her baby's death,Julianne felt nothing.

Meanwhile Leon,who always told her to be understanding,now started to regret things.

***

In her hospital room,Julianne held the necklace that contained a resized ultrasound photo of her baby.In silence,she cried.

Due to her rare body condition,Julianne had to take injections for six months just to get pregnant.Then,Silvana had caused her babys death so quickly.Now,all that was left were the needle marks on her arms and the cold necklace her friend,Tiana Hills,had made for her.

Tiana felt deep sadness upon seeing Julianne's broken spirit.Ill call Leon.He must give you and your baby an explanation.Silvana cant live longer anymore!

Before Julianne could stop her,Tiana had hit the call button.Do you even know what happened to your wife?You didnt come to check-up on here in the past three days!What kind of man are you?

Leon was silent for a moment.Silvie is hurt too,you know?I cant just leave her!

Tiana cut him off coldly.If you dont show up today,then dont bother to show up forever!She then hung up.

Julianne sighed softly.If Leon doesnt want to come,dont force him.I dont care anymore.

Her baby was gone along with her last hope.From now on,whatever Leon did,Julianne would not care.

Tiana held her hand tightly.You've turned like this because of him!There's no way I'm going to ignore you!You used to be our proud and free little princess.Now youre like a puppet.I really cant stand it.

Before meeting Leon,Juliannes life at 20 was almost perfect.She came from a rich family,was beautiful and had a great personality.

One day,she fell in love at first sight with Leon,a car mechanic.She gave up her pride and chased after him.

Her parents became so angry and stressed that they both died of heart attacks on her wedding day.People called herlove-brained,and her reputation fell to the ground.

Julianne,however,didnt regret her decision.She gave Leon her love and her familys money.She loved him blindly.

Now only 28 and married for five years,Julianne felt like a sixty-year old woman who had lost all passion for life.Only today did regret came for her.Julianne no longer had expectations for Leon,but everything was already too late.

At that moment,Leon finally came to the hospital.He walked into the room and saw Juliannes pale and exhausted face.

His heart clenched in pain.Jullie,are you okay?I came to see you.I couldnt come yesterday because Silvana was badly hurt.Don't be mad.

It was laughable that in truth,Silvana only got a twisted ankle.But in Leons heart,that was more important than Juliannes miscarriage.If it were few weeks ago,Julianne would have gone mad and argued with him.

Now,she simply nodded calmly.I understand.

Leon froze for a moment.For the first time,his heart felt strangely empty.

Tonight,Ill stay with you.What do you want to eat?Ill buy it for you.

Leon sat down and looked carefully at Julianne.He noticed that she had lost a lot of weight.Her lips were pale and dry.

Compared to Silvana,Leon remembered how she looked healthy and rosy before leaving.Meanwhile,the current Julianne looked extremely weak.

Jullie,Ill order some chicken soup.It's good for your recovery.

Leon quickly took out his phone,as if doing this could make up for his guilt.

To his surprise,Julianne refused coldly.No need.Im allergic to chicken.I cant drink the soup.

They had been married for five years,but Leon still didnt remember what she was allergic to.

The air in the room became instantly awkward.Leon laughed nervously.Then Ill order beef soup.Sorry,my tongue just slipped!

Julianne said nothing in response.

Seeing that things seemed to calm down,Tiana cleared her throat and prepared to leave.Leon,remember what you once said.Take good care of Jullie.She just lost her baby.Dont hurt her again,understand?

Leon nodded.Dont worry about it.

After everything that happened,Leon also felt uncomfortable.

On one hand,he knew he had wronged Julianne and their dead child.He wanted to make it up to her.

On the other hand,he felt even more attached to Silvana.In his mind,that woman was willing to jump off a building just to stay with him.In his heart,the balance still leaned toward Silvana.

Today,he decided to stay with his wife and act like a real husband.

Jullie,Im here.Im not going anywhere.If you want anything,just tell me.

Julianne didn't give much reaction.The reason was because Silvana just sent her a message:

[Do you think pretending to be sick can take Leon away from me?Today Ill show you who is the most important in his heart.]

Julianne had never won against Silvana in Leons heart.

Sure enough,when the beef soup delivery had just arrived,Silvana walked in with a crutch.

Silvana looked at Leon with the most pitiful expression she could wear.Lee,Im hungry too.Jullie's beef soup smells so good.Can I have some first?

Leon immediately felt a headache.Julianne was a clean freak.She would not share that soup with Silvana.

If you want some,Ill order another one for you.Dont take hers,he said.

Jealousy flashed in Silvanas eyes.Then,she walked closer to Julianne.Then let me feed you,Jullie.

Silvana opened the bag and held the spoon toward Julianne.

At first,Julianne frowned,but she decided to play along.Suddenly,Silvana intentionally shook her hand and spilled the hot soup all over her own hand.The soup was still very hot.Silvana screamed in pain.Red blisters quickly appeared on her fair skin.

Anyone could see Silvana did it on purpose.But in Leons eyes,it was Julianne who had pushed Silvana's hand away.

Leon stood up angrily.Enough!Why did you do that to her?I thought you had changed,but you were just looking for a chance to hurt Silvie again!

Leon thought Julianne would explain or argue like before.But this time,Julianne was surprisingly calm.

She said,First,I didnt even touch her.She spilled the soup on her own.Second,if you want to defend her without caring about the truth,then go ahead.You dont need to force a fake reason.

Leons anger disappeared at once.He hesitated.T-thats not what I meant

However,Silvana started crying first.Lee,it really hurts

Leon had no choice but to pick her up and take her to the doctor.

While laying on the hospital bed,Julianne gave a bitter smile to herself.She already knew that Leon would always choose Silvana as long as that woman was around.

Julianne pressed the call button and asked the nurse to clean up the beef soup on the floor.Then,she ordered some food for herself before closing her eyes to rest.

Yet,her mind couldnt stop thinking about the five years she spent with Leon.

In the beginning,she didnt know Leon had a first love.She only knew that he came from a rich family before it went bankrupt.He became a car mechanic afterward.He also dropped out of school early because he couldnt afford the tuition.

Julianne taught him many things and found that Leon was very interested in computers.She even hired experts to teach him and helped him become one of the best computer experts in the Great Capitol.

Just after Leon won a big computer competition and became famous,his first love,Silvana,came back.She had a terminal illness.Her family was gone and Leon was her onlysupport.

That day,Leon locked himself in the room for a long time.Then he told Julianne that he had to stay with Silvana for the rest of her life.

From then on,whenever Silvana felt unwell,Leon would go to her.He even bought an apartment nearby just to care for Silvana.That woman became more and more dependent on Leon.She kept posting photos of the two of them online.Finally,they couldnt control themselves and slept together.

The first time Julianne found out about their affair was on her birthday.She invited many people to celebrate at home.When she turned on the lights,she saw Leon and Silvana was tangled together on the sofa.

Leon knelt down naked and begged for forgiveness.If youre angry,be angry at me.Dont hurt her.I couldnt control myself.

Unfortunately,Julianne couldnt bring herslef to punish him.

After crying alone for three days,she made Leon sign a promise to never see Silvana again.She swallowed her pain and got back together with him.

The second time she caught them,she made Leon sign an agreement that he would leave with nothing if he betrayed her again.Then,the third time,the fourth time,Julianne wasn't brave enough to leave.

Leon slowly realized that Julianne would never leave him.So he became even more fearless and bold.Now that things had reached this point,it was all because Julianne had spoiled him.

Just then,the food delivery arrived and broke her thoughts.

She slowly ate red bean soup,feeling bitter inside.

Leon didnt like red beans,so after getting married,Julianne rarely ate them.No one knew that red beans used to be her favorite food.

After finishing her meal,Julianne took out her phone and called her grandfather.She hadn't contacted him for a long time.

Grandpa Finn,I regret it.Ive decided to divorce Leon.Blue Tech will go public in the stock market within seven days.I want you to help me take back my position as the main director.

Finnick Cross was the biggest shareholder Blue Tech under the Cross Enterprises.In the past,Julianne didn't want to hurt Leons pride,so she gave up being the director.

Julianne now understood that Leon didnt deserve her thoughts.What belonged to her,she would take them all back.

Her grandfathers voice choked on the phone.You finally woke up from that nightmare.At least you were done from being fooled.This time,you must not regret your divorce,or I wont help you anymore.

Suddenly,two messages appeared on her phone.They were from Silvana.They were photos of Leon gently applying medicine for her.

Juliannes heart became even more determined.Dont worry,Grandpa.I wont disappoint you again.

She truly didnt want Leon anymore.Leon had already signed the divorce papers before.Julianne only needed to submit them.

Once the call was over,she then closed her eyes in relief.Finally,everything was about to end.

This time, she's going to take back everything she's lost!

Early the next morning,Leon appeared at by Julianne's door.It was rare for him to come so early.There were dark circles under his eyes,as if he hadnt slept all night.

Jullie,he walked to her bed.I had checked the security cameras related to the incident yesterday.It was true that Silvie spilled the soup herself.Ive already told her not to trouble you again.

Julianne looked calm.She only frowned slightly.You dont need to tell me that.Im not interested.

I know youre still angry,Leon didnt hear the distance in her voice.He thought she was just upset about yesterday.

He pulled a chair over and sat down beside her.Today Im not going anywhere.Ill stay here with you.

I said I dont need you.Julianne lowered her head and looked at her phone,clearly impatient.

Yet,Leon acted as if he didnt hear her and stayed seated.

An awkward silence filled the room.So,he tried to find something to say.Youre still weak.Do you want to sleep more?I asked the nurse to make some soup for you.

Julianne didnt respond.She didnt even look at him.

Leon felt uncomfortable,but he still forced himself to continue.Ive told the staff at Blue Tech about your condition.No one will disturb you these days.What do you want to eat?Ill have someone buy it.

No need.Still just two cold words.

Leons eyes fell on the necklace around Juliannes neck.It's black paint shone coldly in the morning light.Without thinking,he reached out to touch it.

Julianne suddenly raised her hand and slapped his away.The movement wasnt strong,but it was full of disgust.

You think you deserve to touch it?Her voice was icy.

Leons hand froze in the air.It felt like something stabbed his heart.He had never seen Julianne look at him like this before.There was no love.No sadness.Only pure hatred and disgust,as if he were some dirty trash.

After the pain,irritation rose in his heart.He frowned and spoke in anger,Julianne,how long are you going to keep this up?It was just one child.We can have another in the future.Silvie is terminally ill.She doesnt have much time left.Cant you be more understanding for her?

Julianne acted as if she hadnt heard him.She didnt even bother to look at him.To her,his words were only ridiculous and cruel.

Seeing her ignore him,Leon felt even angrier,but he couldnt just let it out.After a moment of silence,he softened his tone.

Silvie will have her final full checkup tonight.The doctors want to see if her condition has gotten worse.They said if its bad,she might only have a few days left.Jullie,dont fight with her anymore.Its not worth it.

Juliannes fingers suddenly froze.A strong sense of unease rose in her heart.

Leon stayed in the hospital all day.Sometimes he tried to talk.Sometimes he just sat and watched her.

Julianne completely ignored him.Suddenly,in the evening,Leons phone suddenly rang.

After he hung up,his face changed.His lips trembled slightly.He looked at Julianne with a complicated and struggling expression.

Julliehe said with difficulty,his voice full of hesitation.The test results are out.Silvies condition has a chance now.If she gets a suitable kidney transplant,she can live.

Juliannes heart sank.Her unease reached its peak.

Leon took a deep breath,as if making a huge decision.The doctors said that matching kidney donors are extremely rare.And right now,the only person who matches Silvie

He paused.

is you.

Juliannes mind went blank.She understood what Leon meant.

Dont even think about it.I will never give Silvana my kidney.Leon,get out!I dont want to see you again!

Seeing her red eyes,Leon felt a moment of pain in his heart.However,he still continued.

Jullie,listen to me.I treated Silvana well before because she was dying.Now,as long as she gets a kidney,everything can end.Think about it again,just for our future.

As soon as he finished speaking,Julianne threw her cup on the floor.Get out!

Only then did Leon finally leave the room.

Julianne felt frozen.She deeply regretted why she had chosen such man to marry back then.Now his husband wanted her to give up a kidney for another woman.

That made her scared to stay around in the hospital.So that night,she packed her things and left quietly without telling anyone.Only after she walked out of the hospital did she feel slightly safe.She took a taxi and planned to go home first.

Eventually the ride home caused her sleepiness.She soon closed her eyes.

***

In her half-dream,she returned to the scene of falling from the building.Silvana used her as a cushion and wanted her to die.Leon just watched from upstairs and never held anyone responsible.

The feeling of despair was so real that Julianne opened her eyes.To her surprise,she found herself in a strange place.

The taxi driver was gone.The person in the front seat had changed.It was Leon.He looked at her coldly.

I knew you would run,Jullie.Youre so selfish.It seems I have to keep an eye on you.

After the surgery,Ill let you go.

A chill went through Juliannes whole body.Without saying a word,she opened the door and ran in the opposite direction.She tried to call for help on her phone.

Before the she finish dialing,Leon caught up.He grabbed her phone and smashed it.Jullie,be good.

Leon and several bodyguards dragged Julianne into a villa.The walls were covered with Silvanas photos.Julianne knew instantly that Leon bought the place for Silvana.

In the end,Julianne was locked in a room.To prevent her from harming herself,Leon tied her hands tightly.Jullie,dont blame me.I have no choice.I cant just watch Silvana die.

Julianne closed her eyes weakly.She had underestimated how shameless Leon could be.

At dinner time,Leon sent a maid to bring food.Julianne didnt even look at it.In the end,the food got cold and was taken away.

Ms.Cross,you didnt eat anything.Itd be hard for us to explain this to Mr.Rockfell.

He doesnt care whether I live or die.Dont worry.Julianne smiled bitterly.

If he really cared about her,he'd never tie her up and lock her in this basement.

***

The maid took the food and reported to Leon.Ms.Cross didnt eat anything.She said she has no appetite.

During the time,Leon was discussing the surgery time.He soon paused.He knew Julianne was stubborn.

Put the tray down,he said.Ill go feed her myself.

Leon took the food tray and went to the room where Julianne was locked.

Ive talked to the doctors.The kidney surgery will be in three days.If you dont eat now,your body wont have enough strength.Even if you hate me,you should think about yourself,right?

Julianne looked at him with hatred.A smile slowly appeared on her lips.That sounds nice,but arent you just afraid that if I die,there will be no one left to give your dear first love a kidney?Why pretend to care about me?

In the past,no matter how angry Julianne was,she would never talk like this.That's why,Leon felt a little panic.He wanted to explain that his concern was real.But in the end,he gave up.

He grabbed Juliannes chin and forced her mouth open.He then pushed the food into her mouth.Jullie,be good.Youll understand why I did this one day.

Julianne was forced to eat in this humiliating way.Tears flowed down her face without control.She looked at Leon.Her eyes were empty and lifeless.

At that moment,Leons hand loosened unconsciously.Pity and guilt took over.

He stood up.If you dont want to eat,Ill leave.Im doing this for your health.

The room was quiet again.Only Julianne was left.Even though it was late,she couldnt fall asleep.

In seven days,her company was supposed to go public.It was also the day her divorce would be approved.But before that,she was locked here,waiting for a surgery she didn't even want or need.

Hatred filled Juliannes heart.She told herself to remember this moment.When she took revenge on Leon and Silvana in the future,she wouldn't spare them at all.

After a while,Julianne got weaker and weaker.Finally,she fell asleep.

***

For the next two days,Leon didnt appear again.

She only heard the maids whispering.Mr.Rockfells favorite is still Ms.Blake.I heard she refused to sleep at the hospital,so he went to comfort her in person.

Ms.Cross on the other hand,got locked in that room.Shes just a spare body whose kidney is waiting to be taken for Ms.Blake.

Juliannes face slowly turned pale.

***

On the third day,Leon came back with several people behind him.

Julianne was secretly sent to a private hospital and pushed into the operating room for the kidney surgery.

Jullie,I found the best doctors for you.Dont worry.The surgery will be a success.After this,Ill make it up to you.I wont let you suffer again.Leon promised in earnest.

Julianne ignored him and let the anesthesia needle go into her skin.When the medicine took effect,she only saw the doctor walking toward her with a scalpel.

Accept your fate.

These words appeared in her mind.She closed her eyes.She could still feel pain.In the darkness,it felt like she was lying on a chopping board,like a fish waiting to be killed,with no power to resist.

***

When she woke up again,her body felt terrible.She looked at the ugly scar on her stomach and clenched her fists.

Leon came to comfort her.The surgery was successful.Rest for two more days and youll be fine.Thank you for your hard work,Jullie.

Julianne turned her head away and avoided his touch.Her voice was very low,almost like a whisper.I will never let you two go.

Leon heard it,but thought she was just angry.So,he smiled.Fine,you wont let me go.Then well be tied together for life.Even if we die,well be a ghost couple.

He had already decided.He would keep his promise and live properly for Julianne from now on.

Leon didnt expect that he would break his promise so soon.

Silvana threatened to die and forced him to marry her.Its just a fake wedding for us.Ms.Julianne will let us be.This is my last wish.After the wedding,Ill leave the Great Capitol and never bother you again.

Seeing Silvana crying with full sorrow,Leon softened.He wanted to talk to Julianne about it,but he couldnt bring himself to do that.

He took Julianne for a walk to buy himself time.

In the end,Julianne became impatient.Leon,what do you want?

Sorry,Jullie.Silvana wants to marry me and I agreed.Leon finally said it.

I know this is unfair to you,but Silvana is really pitiful don't you think?Just treat it as fulfilling her last wish,okay?

After saying this,Leon prepared himself for a huge scolding.

He thought Julianne would cry,get angry,or even ask for a divorce,just like the previous times.But none of that happened.

Julianne only nodded calmly.Do whatever you want.

Something felt wrong.Leon suddenly stood up.Jullie,why arent you angry?You should be angry!Im going to marry another woman!

Julianne felt it was funny.So funny that she felt ironically sad.

Is there any point in being angry?If I get angry,will you not get married?Will you stop hurting me?

Were adults,Leon.Please be more mature.

After that,Julianne didnt look at him anymore.She focused on preparing materials for her companys publication meeting in seven days.

Leon laughed in anger.Julianne,are you serious?If you really dont care,then Ill marry Silvana without worries.Dont you dare regret it!

With that,Leon left.

He went back to Silvana and discussed the wedding date.

I know Ms.Jullie wont be happy.Even if she agreed now,she might regret it later.Why dont we get married tomorrow,so she wouldn't stop us?

Leon frowned.Tomorrow?

The day after tomorrow was the companys listing day.This company was built with Juliannes support and even the biggest shareholder was her grandfather.

If they found out he was marrying another woman tomorrow,would it affect anything?

But Leon comforted himself.Julianne loved him so much that she even gave up her top position for him.It was just a fake wedding.She wouldnt really be angry.

Fine.Tomorrow.

Silvana finally smiled in satisfaction.She held Leons arm happily.Then this afternoon,come with me to choose a wedding dress.Ms.Jullie has been married before,she has experience.Why dont we bring her too?

No way,Leon refused immediately.If she sees you in a wedding dress,she will definitely make a scene.

Silvana didnt care.Lee,why are you so worried now?We're just choosing a dress not anything else.Ms.Jullie wont be angry.

I can also explain to her that our wedding is really just a fake wedding.Then you two wont argue again.

Leon knew Silvanas excuse was weak.However,when he remembered how Julianne calmly said she didnt care at all,a strange anger rose in his heart.He wanted to see if Julianne truly didnt care about him anymore.

Fine.Ill take her along to choose your dress.

Then Leon immediately sent a message to Julianne.

Leon:[Jullie,get ready.This afternoon,go with Silvana to choose a wedding dress.The two of us will get married tomorrow.]

When Julianne saw this message,she froze.She couldnt believe Leon really said that to her.

[Stop being ridiculous!You can get married whenever you want.I wont stop you.But you want me,your wife,to go with you to choose a wedding dress for another woman?]

Julianne did not tell Leon that she had already asked for a divorce.Still,she was very angry.

She felt Leon did not treat her like a person.In his heart,she was only a tool to make Silvana happy.He could hurt her anytime.But now,Julianne did not want to play his game.

Leon replied quickly.[Jullie,dont make trouble.This is really the last time I hurt you.I promise.]

[You have been married before.You have experience.Whats wrong with helping Silvana?]

Julianne was shaking with anger.Unfortunately,she had no choice.Blue Tech would go public in two days.She could not let anything go wrong before that.

***

In the afternoon,Leon came to pick up Julianne.Seeing her sad face,Leon felt something strange.He thought that Julianne was still jealous.He wished that it was a sign she still cared about him.

When they got to the car,Julianne sat in the back seat.She did not sit in the front.

Leon was surprised,but Silvana quickly sat in the front seat.Jullie is so kind.She knows I feel sick in cars.She saved the front seat for me.Thank you.

Julianne made a cold humm and said nothing.

Leon drove very fast.Soon they arrived at the wedding shop.

Julianne sat on the sofa and stared at her phone.Meanwhile,Leon stayed with Silvana and chose wedding dresses.They touched each other on purpose.Despite all that,Julianne kept on ignoring them.

Silvana said,Jullie,can you take a photo for us?Like a wedding photo.

Leon also said,Come on.Its just some photos.Nothing too hard.

Julianne was very annoyed but she took a few photos anyway.Is this enough?Do you want a video too?

Leon became angry.Its just a few photos.Why so sarcastic?

He bought the wedding clothes right in front of her before leaving with Silvana,leaving her alone.

Julianne watched their car leave while a smile grew on her lips.She did not feel angry.Instead,she was happy they were gone.She called Tiana and soon her bestfriend came to pick her up.

Once settled,Julianne blocked all Leons contact information.From now on,she and Leon had nothing to do with each other.

***

After driving for one kilometer,Leon decided turned back.This place is far from the main city.Its hard to get a taxi.I will go back and take Jullie.

He felt a little sorry.He thought that maybe Julianne would forgive him after coming to pick her up.

But when he went back,Julianne was gone.He called her.He sent messages.Soon,he knew Julianne had blocked him.

Leon finally panicked.He realized,that he truly had lost Julianne.
