Chapter 3 " Ethan ... you're fucking insane ! You can't do this to me ! " ] My lips were trembling as I snarled at him . [ ] . "Can't ? I'm your fiancé ! " ] 4147 Ethan let out a cold laugh . At his signal , the servants grabbed my arms and legs , dragging me toward the cold storage room . I fought them , but it was useless . Blood from my head wound left a trail across the floor . ] ] And through it all , Ethan didn't even glance my way . The freezing air hit me like a slap . I started shivering uncontrollably . My abdomen - still healing from the miscarriage - felt like it was being torn apart by ice - cold claws . I curled up in a ball , pounding weakly on the metal door : " Let me out ! Get Ethan ! Please ... I'm in so much pain ... " ] ] The guard outside snickered . ]} " Miss Charlotte , if you're gonna fake it , at least make it believable . It's just a little cold - how could that hurt ? " ] " And Mr. Blackwood ? He's busy comforting Miss Lily . No time for your little performance . " [ ] I tried to argue , but my vision was already getting fuzzy . ] Gradually , I lost the strength to call for help . [ ] Just when I thought I might actually die in there , the door opened . [ ] Ethan's annoyed voice drifted down from above . He nudged my arm with his foot , clearly irritated : ] " Done with the act yet ? I barely turned the temperature down . What's with the whole dying routine - trying to guilt trip me with that old ' I saved your life ' card again ? " ] " Or are you still pushing that ridiculous pregnancy lie to get out of consequences ? " He scoffed . [ ] My brain was going fuzzy , but I used my last bit of strength to explain : [ ] " To not ... take me to the hospital . I just had a miscar- " ] Before I could finish the word , Lily tugged on Ethan's arm , her voice all sweet and concerned : [ ] 7.3 Chapter 3 " Babe , she's always been delicate . Maybe she's not faking ? We could just let it go ... I don't mind if the kids and I suffer a little . " [ ] That melted Ethan's heart instantly . " If you're with me , I won't let you suffer . " ] " Charlotte's gotten way too bratty . Time someone knocked her down a peg . " ] ] He started walking away , protectively shielding Lily from the cold air . [] Lily shot me a triumphant look before quickly switching back to her innocent mask . [ ] " But she is your fiancée ... and she did save your life ... ' " 0 " So what ? " They were getting farther away , but I still caught Ethan's ice - cold response . [ ] " I already promised to waste my entire life on her . Isn't that enough ? " ] My heart stopped . The world went silent . ] So that's what my sacrifice meant to him- A chain around his neck . に Tears fell and froze on the concrete floor . ] ] I couldn't tell which was colder anymore : my body or my soul . One phrase " waste my life on her " -and every promise he'd ever made turned to dust . [ ] He'd fallen out of love long ago , and I'd been too pathetic to see it . ] All that young , pure love finally died in that moment . [ ] Suddenly , warm blood gushed from between my legs . [ ] I heard screaming , shouting , chaos . ]] But I couldn't open my eyes . I just felt someone frantically pulling me into their arms . [ ] " Don't just stand there - get a doctor ! " ] " If anything happens to my wife , you're all dead ! " It was Ethan , saying my name over and over , his voice shaking [ ] For a second , he almost looked like the old Ethan- The one who used to panic over my all smallest injuries . ]
