My Husband Regretted Everything After I Married My First Love

On the day of our wedding anniversary, while Heath Curtiss woman driver was taking me out, we got into a car crash.

The airbag on the passenger side didnt work. My whole body was covered in blood, while she only got small scratches.

Heath only took five minutes to leave his meeting and rush over to the accident scene.

I cried and screamed, Heath, Im hurting so bad, save me...

But without even pausing, he went straight to help Aurelia Suico. His face was full of worry as he told her, Dont worry, Im here. Ill bring you to the hospital right now!

My hand was pinned down hard, and the pain spread across my entire body.

As I watched his cold back, I slowly shut my eyes in pain.

After I woke up, they told me the nerves in my right hand were hurt. My hand was permanently disabled, and painting no longer had anything to do with me.

I lost control. I broke down and shouted loudly, Heath, why didnt you save me?!

He walked over to me, looking unconcerned, his voice calm.

Ill find someone to treat your hand. Stop making such a big deal out of this small thing.

Ive owed her too much these past years. Right now, she only has me.

At 17, you smiled and told me that one day Id become the best painter.

But at 27, I could no longer paint, yet you still called it a small thing.

Tears ran down my face, and at that moment, my heart completely gave up.

Dad, Im willing to go to England and take over the Hamilton family business. I promise Ill never come back to Avondale.

From that day on, you and I never saw each other again, forever standing on opposite sides.

..

By the time the ambulance took me to the hospital, my consciousness was already fading. The only thing left near my ears was nonstop shouting.

Miss Hamilton, stay awake, you mustnt sleep!

There are still people in this world who love you. If youre gone, what will they do?

My entire body hurt, and each breath only made the pain in my chest worse.

I painfully endured it and kept the last little bit of consciousness.

When I was pushed to the emergency room entrance, the nurse hurriedly asked, Miss Hamilton, we contacted your husband already, but not one out of 99 calls went through.

Your condition is very serious right now. A family member must sign the surgery risk notice before the operation can begin. How can we reach him?

I picked up the phone and tried calling his number.

Beep.

The call connected, and the nurse quickly spoke, Mr. Curtis, your wife needs a signature for surgery. Please come to Starlight Medical.

After hearing that, the man on the other side spoke with annoyance and anger.

Kira, have you gone too far this time? Im busy bringing Aurelia to the doctor. I dont have time for your useless tricks.

You enjoy hiring people to put on acts so much. Instead of being a painter, go become a director and make movies!

Then the call ended.

A strange look appeared on the nurses face. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself.

The injuries on Aurelias body werent even worse than the wounds on my arm, yet he panicked so much that he completely lost control.

But his own wife was dying in the emergency room, and he didnt even bother asking one question.

I still remember when I was 20. On the way to celebrate my birthday with me, we got chased by enemies and ended up in a car crash.

Back then, he held me tightly under him to protect me. Even after we reached the hospital, he ignored his own injuries and stayed busy taking care of me. Holding my hand, he kept saying, Dont forget me, Kira. I love you!

Later, the doctor told me he already had temporary memory problems at that time. Loving me became his instinct, and he was scared hed forget me.

Seven years later, love really did come with an ending sometimes, and feelings could also turn fake.

Ill sign it myself!

I bit down hard and signed my own name.

When I was pushed into the operating room, my life was no longer under my control, and I wasnt fully sure Id wake up again.

After I woke up, my right hand felt weak. No matter how hard I tried, I couldnt lift it.

The doctor looked at me with regret in his eyes and awkwardly said, Mrs. Curtis, the heavy impact damaged the nerves. Your right hand is permanently disabled. Were very sorry, we already did everything we could.

Bang.

My mind went blank, and my whole body turned freezing cold.

Heath stood beside my bed, and Aurelia was there too.

I grabbed the lamp beside me with my left hand and threw it hard at them.

The man immediately stepped in front of her, and his forehead split open from the hit, blood running down.

Kira, its only your right hand thats disabled. Theres no need to argue over something this small.

Yes, to him now, nothing mattered more than Aurelia.

I lost control, completely broke down, and shouted angrily.

A small matter? Im a painter! Dont you understand what permanent damage to my right hand means?

Seeing this, Aurelia walked up to me and acted like she wanted to kneel, her face full of sadness.

Its all because of me. Miss Hamilton, dont blame Heath anymore. If you want to yell or hit someone, just take it out on me!

Heath quickly pulled her into his arms. Ignoring everyone around us, he looked at me coldly and said, Thats enough. You just cant paint anymore. Without my help, your paintings are nothing but useless paper anyway.

If you want to throw a tantrum, then do it somewhere else.

Those words hit my heart hard, and I felt like I could hear it breaking apart.

They were right. Giving my whole heart to watch a boy grow up was too stupid.

I looked at his back as he walked away, while tears blurred my eyes.

If a heart was never mine to keep, then I didnt want it anymore.

I called my fathers number.

Dad, I promise you. Ill stay in England, take over the Hamilton family business, and never go back to Avondale.

Heath, from now on, no matter how far you search, youll never find that honest heart that once loved you.

A month after leaving the hospital, I went back to the house that once belonged to both of us. The moment I stood by the door, my mind suddenly drifted away.

This private villa in Southville Bay had been planned by him little by little. It once stood for our love.

When I opened the door, I saw him crouching beside Aurelia, gently putting medicine on her ankle.

Aurelia got hurt at work. Shell stay here for now while she heals.

He looked at me calmly as he spoke.

I walked past them without any expression. Whatever.

After hearing that, Heaths hand froze for a second. He lifted his eyes toward me, confusion flashing across his face.

If youre bothered by it, I can

I cut him off before he finished.

Youre thinking too much. Stay however you like.

With a loud sound, he dropped the item in his hand, stepped toward me, and tightly grabbed my wrist.

The pain made tears gather in my eyes.

What are you trying to do this time? Dont think you can bully people again just because you have power.

Only after seeing my tears did he quickly let go of my hand, shock showing on his face.

Aurelia slowly stood up while limping, quietly crying.

Heath, I should go. I dont want to cause problems between you and your wife. I can look after myself.

Without saying anything else, Heath hurried over and pulled her into his arms.

His eyes were full of care as he softly comforted her. Stay by my side and dont go anywhere. Ill take care of you.

After saying that, he carried her upstairs.

I looked at his back and slowly remembered the past.

As the illegitimate son of the Curtis family, he spent the first eight years of his life in a broken alley, staying in an old house that leaked whenever it rained and often lost power. After he was brought back to the Curtis family, everyone mocked him for being poor and kept away from him.

When I was ten, I visited the Curtis family for the first time and saw him alone in the back garden, quietly hiding in the corner.

I smiled and pulled out a piece of candy from my pocket before giving it to him. Big brother, I have candy for you. Come play with me!

After that, he and I spent the best ten years of our lives together.

I stayed beside him as he slowly reached the top and took control of the Curtis family. Even after the Hamilton family moved to England, I still gave up the family fortune worth billions and chose to remain with him.

But love also came to an end. After finding out he cheated on me, I once completely lost control and kept asking him, Why did you betray me? Youre the one who said youd love me forever!

What I got back was him climbing onto the windowsill and using his life to force me into a divorce.

Kira, real love is the hardest thing to get in this world.

As long as I cant stay with her, Id rather die!

Lets get a divorce. If you wont agree, then Ill jump!

Back then, I didnt believe hed truly throw away his life for Aurelia, so I shouted at him angrily.

If youve got the nerve, then jump!

If you really jump, then well get a divorce.

Bang.

Yes, he really jumped down.

After that, cheating became something mutually understood without being spoken about between us.

Whenever I was ill, he was with her, eating at an Italian restaurant.

During my birthday, he was in bed with her, staying close to her.

In the end, he even made her his personal driver so they could meet every day.

People all over Avondale mocked me for being foolish, but I simply loved him too much. Was that really a mistake?

But now, I dont love him anymore.

That night, I called my lawyer friend.

Cindy, help me make a divorce agreement. I want to divorce him.

My friends relieved voice came from the other side of the call as she answered with a laugh.

You finally came to your senses and decided to get rid of that garbage.

What plans do you have for dividing the property?

Suddenly, a womans sweet voice came from upstairs. The two of them were so wrapped around each other that they didnt even care that his legal wife was still downstairs.

My hand tightly curled into a fist, my nails digging hard into my palm.

Based on the agreement Heath and I signed before marriage, all the property belongs to me. He leaves with nothing.

Heath, you spoiled her while she destroyed everything I had. This is what you owe me.

After the call ended, a message suddenly appeared on my phone.

Kira, Dad already asked people to speed up your immigration process. In one month, youll be able to get it.

After one month, lets completely leave everything in Avondale behind.

That night, I cleared away all my belongings and quietly left in the dark.

The next morning, Heath called me more than thirty times.

I answered calmly, but he was full of anger.

Kira, where did you go?

What game are you playing now? Are you trying to run away from home again and hide at Grandmas place to stir up trouble?

I slowly let out a breath.

Back when Heath first cheated me, it wasnt that I never thought of ways to fix it. I had gone to Grandma Cecile crying and making a fuss before.

She felt sorry for me, angrily scolded Heath, and even sent people to bring Aurelia back to the old residence for punishment once.

Ninety-nine family strikes, Heath blocked everyone for her. His body was covered with injuries as he lay in her arms, while the woman cried painfully.

He stared at me and said in a cold voice, Kira, even if you complain, it wont change anything.

If I dont love you anymore, then I just dont. Acting like this only makes me dislike you even more.

That day, as I looked at his stubborn face, I suddenly laughed. That laugh carried comfort and freedom.

After that, Grandma Cecile kept giving Aurelia a hard time and scolding him again and again. He always thought it was because of me, but the truth was that she only felt too bad for me.

Youre thinking too much. I just need some peace and quiet.

After hearing that, the man finally calmed down a little and spoke without emotion.

Go anywhere you want, but if you still try to hurt Aurelia, I wont forgive you.

The call ended. I carelessly threw the phone aside and dropped onto the bed.

I was extremely tired.

I stayed there blankly for the whole day, from morning until night, and I couldnt even feel hungry.

Bang.

Someone suddenly kicked the bedroom door open, and I quickly sat up in fear.

Heath stormed inside in anger and roughly pulled me to my feet.

Kira! So this is your idea of wanting peace? Paying people to post black PR articles?

The crash was already an accident, but you had people turn it into a story about the mistress trying to kill the legal wife, making Aurelia cut her wrists and try to kill herself!

I couldnt understand what he was talking about and quickly tried to explain.

I stayed in the hotel the whole day. I didnt do any of this.

Mr. Curtis can control all of Avondale, yet checking the truth is too hard for you? Instead, youre making up lies for no reason?

He tightly held my wrist, and his grip kept getting stronger.

After unlocking the phone, he raised it in front of me, and a news article appeared before my eyes.

[Mistress uses every trick to move up, purposely breaking traffic laws and causing a car crash?!]

The comments underneath looked even worse.

[Some mistresses should stop acting so shamelessly. The whole Avondale already knows how loving the Curtis couple is!]

[So disgusting, completely cheap and without morals, and she even tried to hurt people!]

[Someone like her should just die. Being a mistress isnt enough, now she even wants to murder someone!]

A painful headache spread through my head, and I truly had no idea about any of these things.

Heath, if I really planned to kill her, I wouldnt choose such terrible methods.

Id directly beat her in front of everyone.

His anger had already confused his mind, and he couldnt listen to my explanation anymore.

A moment later, his eyes stopped on the divorce agreement resting on the table. I said nothing.

Heath shoved my hand away and immediately stepped over to pick it up.

After looking through it for only a short moment, he violently tore the paper apart.

The veins on his forehead stood out, and his brows pressed tightly together as he shouted at me.

Divorce? Kira, you really know what youre doing, huh? After nearly killing Aurelia, now you want a divorce so you can run away?

Back then, your own family already gave up on you just so you could marry me. Without me, youre nothing. Youre like an old broken shoe nobody wants anymore.

Every word Heath said cut deeply into my heart again and again.

Everyone in Avondale knew the Hamilton family had worked in politics for generations. They hated business families the most, and there was no way they wanted their heir to marry into a merchant family.

Back then, I insisted on marrying him. Grandfather beat me until my body was covered in wounds, and I went through ten hours of emergency treatment before surviving.

In the end, Dad only left me with one sentence.

Your grandfather and I will only give you this one chance.

Within ten years, if you want to return home, well wait for you in England, but you must never come back to Avondale and completely cut ties with him.

But now, all the things I gave up had become the cruel weapon he used to hurt me.

Heath, back then, you were the one who asked me to get a divorce and let you two be together. Now I agree.

Ill print another copy. Once you calm down, sign it.

He stepped in front of me and grabbed my neck tightly, his eyes completely red.

His lips parted slightly, but before he could speak, a phone call stopped him.

Aurelia woke up? Im heading there now!

He casually let go of me like throwing away garbage, and I heavily dropped onto the floor.

A warm liquid slowly ran down my body, while a severe pain spread through my lower stomach.

I reached out to touch it, and it was blood!

My face instantly lost all color, and I cried out in fear, Heath, help me, Im bleeding!

His steps suddenly stopped, and he turned around to look at me.

After only a few seconds, an irritated look appeared on his face. Thats enough! Just because you want to stop me from seeing Aurelia, now youre pretending again!

It was only a fall. Are you really that weak? You didnt even die in the car accident!

After saying those words, he never looked back again and quickly left.

And I passed out in the blood.

A strong disinfectant smell suddenly woke me up.

The doctor stayed beside my hospital bed and quietly shook his head.

Miss Hamilton, the child couldnt be saved. The earlier car accident already left complications behind, and this time, you arrived too late. Your uterus suffered serious damage, so you might never become pregnant again.

I blankly lay on the hospital bed while tears slowly covered my eyes.

The doctor continued saying comforting words near me, but I couldnt hear them anymore.

This was the second baby, Heath, that we lost, and it was also the final one.

Three years earlier, after learning he was cheating, he jumped from a building to pressure me into divorce, and the shock caused me to miscarry immediately.

I waited three years for this child to arrive, but before I could even feel its warmth, it left again.

Kira, I hope our future child is as sweet and kind as you.

Once we have a child, therell be one more person in this world for me to love.

At twenty-two, those words stayed deeply in my mind, but now he once again destroyed our child with his own hands.

My hand slowly touched my flat stomach, as if the child was still there.

Heath, Ill definitely make you suffer the consequences!

After the doctor walked out, I called Cindy.

The investment contract I asked you to prepare before isnt needed anymore.

And I want to pull back the investment and take back every asset from Heaths company! I want him to be left with nothing. He has to pay for this!

Night slowly arrived.

Heath walked into my hospital room and let out a cold laugh.

Kira, you really treat the hospital like your own house, coming here whenever you want.

I turned my face away and ignored him.

He came over to my bedside, handed me a paper and pen, and coldly spoke.

This situation caused a huge problem for Aurelia. It already seriously affected both her life and her familys life.

Youll personally write an apology letter, saying you were paranoid and schizophrenic, purposely spreading lies about innocent people. Youll also say youre willing to pay all mental damage compensation and personally apologize to her.

After hearing that, I stared at him in shock, anger rising inside me.

Heath, is something wrong with your head? Why should I apologize for something I never did?

Heath pushed down on my shoulders and softly replied.

At this stage, why are you still pretending to be innocent? In all of Avondale, I cant find a second person who wants her dead as badly as you do.

I laughed loudly, my voice carrying sarcasm.

Could she be putting on a show by herself?

He laughed too.

Not everybody likes acting and pretending the way you do.

Kira, after you follow what I said, Ill take you to Iceland right away and finally keep the promise I owe you.

It sounded so believable that if I didnt have Aurelias WhatsApp, I mightve truly trusted him.

Three days ago, she was still showing off on Instagram:

My healths been bad recently, but someone already arranged an Iceland vacation for me. Who wants free plane tickets and hotel stays?

The things she threw away had somehow become a gift for me.

Seven years passed. The honeymoon we missed before because of work, and later after our love disappeared, was now going to happen like this.

No, Heath. I didnt do anything wrong, and theres no way Ill apologize.

I, Kira, take responsibility for the things I do. If I didnt do it, then I didnt do it!

His brows tightened as he suddenly threw the paper at my face, the sharp edge cutting my cheek.

The door slammed shut hard.

A message suddenly appeared on my phone.

Miss Hamilton, your immigration process has been completed. Welcome to England. We look forward to your return to Avondale again!

I slowly breathed out. Everything should finally be over now.

After I finished packing my luggage, an urgent call suddenly came in.

Heath, hurry and check the news! That crazy man, Heath, posted an apology to Aurelia using your name!

He even faked your schizophrenia medical records. Now everyone online is cursing you!

When I heard that, cold sweat covered my palms as my shaking hands quickly opened the social media app.

[Im apologizing to Ms. Aurelia on behalf of my wife. Ms. Aurelia is the driver hired by the Curtis family.]

[My wife has suffered from schizophrenia for many years. She became paranoid and treated Ms. Suico as an imaginary enemy, paying black PR accounts to spread rumors and attack her online]

My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing my heart, making it hard to breathe.

Heath was completely insane!

As I kept scrolling, public opinion online fully turned against me.

[What should someone do if their legal wife is mentally ill?]

[So rich people can just falsely accuse others whenever they want? Thats disgusting!]

[Can people with schizophrenia even paint? Were her past award-winning paintings secretly done by someone else she paid?]

I saved screenshots of every post one by one, then contacted my father to get the surveillance recording of my conversation with Heath, and to investigate the person secretly controlling everything behind this.

Less than ten minutes later, my father sent me a file. Inside, it was proof that Aurelia had planned everything herself and paid black PR accounts to spread those articles.

Kira, that car crash wasnt an accident. I already found the proof.

He also sent a conversation record to my phone. I nervously opened it, and every single line showed Aurelias carefully planned scheme to kill me.

I gripped my phone hard as anger rushed through my chest.

Kira, our Hamilton family will never let others bully us. If you cant do it yourself, Ill handle it for you.

After hearing that, I answered without hesitation.

No, Dad. I want to personally make the people who hurt me pay for everything!

I gathered all the evidence together and sent everything to Cindy.

I want to sue Aurelia for intentional injury and defamation.

At the same time, pull back every investment and take back all the shares Heath owns in the Stardom Company. From now on, I want them to lose all their status and reputation. I want them to suffer worse than death!

After finishing everything, I shut the large suitcase.

Right then, Heath appeared at the door of my hospital room and questioned me with a dark expression.

Why is the safe from the study at home missing?

I lowered my head and fixed the suitcase without even looking at him.

I threw it away.

The moment he heard that, he grabbed my arm in panic and raised his voice.

You threw it away? Inside were all the memories from our ten years together, love letters, movie tickets, and so many other things. You really threw everything away?

I calmly pulled my arm back, my face staying emotionless.

Whats the point of keeping garbage?

A man who no longer loved me was nothing but useless trash, and every memory connected to him was worthless, too.

After hearing my words, his eyes moved to my suitcase, and a small smile appeared on his face.

I havent even told you when were leaving for Iceland, yet you already packed your bags this fast?

Just a few days ago, you were still causing trouble about divorce. Now youve changed this quickly. I admit I ignored you too much lately, but Ill do better from now on.

His words sounded ridiculous and sad, making me quietly laugh inside.

Heath always believed I loved him so deeply that even death couldnt make me leave him, but he was wrong. I also grew tired, and my feelings had long gone cold.

From the moment I stopped loving him, Avondale no longer had any reason for me to stay.

A phone suddenly rang. He looked at me, paused for a few seconds, and then still turned to leave after speaking.

The nurse said Aurelia wont eat anything. Ill go check on her.

Dont go walking around outside. Reporters are everywhere. Ill have someone come pick you up later.

After that, once he left, I dragged my suitcase and fully walked away.

There were still two hours before the flight took off when I got his message.

Didnt I already tell you not to run around? Reporters are outside everywhere. Have you lost your mind?

There should be a limit to your jealousy and tantrums. If something happens to you, Grandma will blame me again. Come back to the hospital now, and Ill bring you home.

I blocked and deleted him in one move, completely removing every sign of him from my life.

Heath, this is where things end between us. Your punishment has only started now.
