Chapter 4
I looked at him in disbelief, as if someone had ripped a piece out of my chest, leaving air leaking from every direction.
He used to protect my dreams carefully.
He would stand beside me and tell me not to worry about anything. He told
me that as long as I wanted to dance, he would always support me.
During my last performance, I injured my leg and almost couldn’t dance
anymore.
He was so anxious that he cried and was more worried than I was. He even went all the way to New York and begged everywhere, just to get me the most capable doctor to perform surgery on me. All of that just to protect my dream.
But now…
He watched coldly as Vanessa gave the order. “Mr. Mitchell already gave the order. What are you waiting for?”
Several men in black pushed me to the ground.
Ignoring my struggles, they pinned me down and held my legs in place.
I screamed and tried to call for help.
The scene was full of Ryan’s people, and no one dared to help.
“Mrs. Mitchell, please be quiet and don’t move!
“The sooner we get this over with, the less you’d suffer!”

Someone took a hammer and smashed it hard on the bone.
Snap!
The bones seemed to break all at once.
I screamed miserably, and the blood on my forehead gushed.
Ryan’s voice was icy, completely void of emotion.
“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being such a
troublemaker. Vanessa only wants one of your legs, which is a bargain for you.”
I raised my head with difficulty, my eyes looking like they were stained with blood.
His face was hidden behind the bloody mist, looking like a demon.
My eyes went dark, and I was twitching in pain, but I couldn’t stop feeling cold in my heart.
He knew how much I valued my dreams.
Yet, with just one word from Vanessa, everything I had was easily destroyed.
He was right.
He was right, I have been a troublemaker in love all these years!
“Ryan, I wish I’d never met you.”
When he heard what I said, his face trembled.
He was furious, as if his tail had been stepped on.
“Emma, you haven’t learned your lesson then, eh? It seems that you

deserve worse!”
He grabbed the hammer and smashed it on my other leg.
“In that case, I guess you don’t need your other leg anymore.”
The sound of breaking bones was heard again.

I rolled on the ground in pain, blood mixed with sweat soaking my whole body, looking miserable.
He still felt it was not enough, so he dragged me in front of Vanessa and pressed my head down.
“I have to teach you a lesson! Today, you shall kneel in front of Vanessa and apologize!
“This doesn’t end until I say it does!”
I endured the pain and looked up at him.
“After this, I want a divorce.”
Upon hearing this, Ryan became furious.
He didn’t understand what I was making a fuss about.
I lost count of how many times this had happened before, and it always ended with me admitting defeat.
I was done with sucking things up.
All I had to do was admit my mistake to him.
But this time, I no longer wanted to compromise.
“I’ll do it–just agree to the divorce.”
