The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 176

Yasmine's face turned pale. Even though she had put on blush, it wasn't enough to hide her pale look.

"I heard that you have been taking medicine too. It's a pity. Both of us took medicine the same way, but why can't some person get what she wants..."

Abigail Tanner was obviously putting salt on Yasmine's wound. Yasmine's heart was bleeding, but she still fought back calmly. "A person is valued by the pride and dignity that they possess. Do you know what you look like now? You're like a prostitute, proudly showing off her skills after sleeping with a man!"

In a flash, Abigail splashed half a glass of red wine at Yasmine's face and sneered, "Didn't you say that I shouldn't desire for things that aren't mine? I'm not showing off my skills, but showing you my ambition. Now, do you know what real ambition is?"

Yasmine Taylor was furious. Her self-esteem had been completely trampled over by the woman in front of her. She rushed to Abigail, grabbed her neck, and roared hysterically, "I will strangle you to death!"

"Strangle me all you want. I'm telling you that I'm pregnant with a boy. If you kill me, it's equal to cutting off the Simons family's bloodline. Your parents- in- law won't forgive you, and Sebastian won't forgive you either, because you'll be strangling his child to death!" Tears welled up in Yasmine's eyes. She slowly let go of Abigail's neck and turned around to walk to the door like a lifeless zombie. She really wanted to hold on until the end, but now, she seemed to have failed.

Her heart was in so much pain that she felt like she was dying.

"Stop!"

Abigail rushed forward and stopped her. "Are you just going to leave like this? I'm not going to let you walk away after bullying me like that!"

Slap!

A slap fell on Yasmine's face. She slowly raised her head and looked coldly at the woman in front of her. She didn't fight back, instead, she left silently.

Her body was empty and she didn't have any strength. The last bit of strength she could muster was only enough to support her to the door of the club. If she used her last bit of strength to slap Abigail back across her face, what would she do to get out of this hellish place?

Her heart was aching, exhausted. It felt more tired than it ever was before.

"Don't stay with Sebastian shamelessly if you don't want my child to be fatherless after birth!"

Abigail warned her in a loud voice as she watched Yasmine's weak back.

Yasmine didn't know how she returned home. She seemed to have walked for a long time. When she came out of the club, the sun was still shining on her head. But when she got home, it was already dark.

She went upstairs in a daze. Sebastian Simons had not come back yet. She was sitting on the sofa, and her tears dropped like bead,

Thump! Thump!

Her mother- in- law's voice rang from outside the door, "Yasmine, are you in there?"

She quickly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and staggered to open the door. "Mom, what's the matter..."

Madam Simons seemed to be holding something behind her and she nodded with twinkling eyes. "Well, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Come in."

She closed the door and asked her mother-in-law, "What's the matter?"

Madam Simons struggled for a moment and said guiltily, "It's about Abigail."

Yasmine felt a burst of pain in her head. At this moment, even listening to the woman's name made her feel like it was better to die than live.

"The baby in Abigail's belly is a boy. You know that the baby is really important to our family. Although we don't like her at all, and I know that it's unduly to say this to you, but is it alright if you pretend to divorce Sebastian temporarily for just a year. After a year when Abigail gives birth to the baby, I will definitely find a way to get you two remarried."

Yasmine raised her head numbly and looked at her mother- in- law in disbelief. She could not believe that those words were uttered from her mother-in-law's mouth, the woman who loved her.

"Yasmine, I'm sorry. There's really no other way, otherwise I won't let you be wronged like this. I promise you that I'll definitely let you reunite with Sebastian after a year. No one will break you up again after that!"

Madam Simons moved the hands that were behind her back to her front and said guiltily, "These are the divorce papers. I hope you could convince Sebastian to sign it. Neither me nor your father- in-law could convince him to divorce you. Please, I'm begging you, okay?"

Yasmine's eyes gradually went from shock to indifference. She stared at the kind- looking old woman in front of her and finally saw the cruel reality.

"Is the bloodline really so important to you all?"

Madam Simons cried, "I know you are in pain now, but please be considerate toward our family. Your father-in-law and I are old, we will leave this world one day. If we can't have grandchildren before we die, how are we supposed to face the Simons family after death? Sebastian's grandfather built this great family business through his hard work. We can't do without a successor..."

Yasmine took a deep breath and said with tears in her eyes, "Well, let me think about it."

"Can't you agree now? Because..." Madam Simons cried. "Abigail called this afternoon. She said that if you and Sebastian aren't divorced by tomorrow, she will abort the baby in her belly..." Yasmine laughed mockingly, but her tears would not stop flowing. Must she push them into such a desperate situation? Tomorrow? Huh?

With a 'poof, Madam Simons knelt down in front of Yasmine and cried till her voice was hoarse, "Yasmine, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. If you agree, your father-in-law and I will repay your kindness in our next life..."

"Please don't do this. I will seriously consider it." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Yasmine bent down and tried to help her mother-in-law up, but Madam Simons stubbornly said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up. I'm so sad that I can't live anymore..."

Divorce... a year...

Yasmine knew better than anyone else that the divorce would destroy Sebastian. Sebastian had caution in his eyes every time he faced her. She could hear Sebastian in her ears, begging her to stay. Her heart was aching terribly.

"Yasmine, please... I am begging you..."

Her mother-in-law was still crying and pleading her. She was like a dying leaf, swaying unsteadily. Her heart was hollowed out again. Suddenly, she shouted hysterically, "Okay, I agree. I promise all of you that I don't ask for anything anymore!"

With a bang, she fell to the ground and let out a heart-wrenching cry. The thunder rumbling in the night sky seemed to echo her sorrowful cry. Her heart, at last, was completely dead, and she no longer put any hope in this marriage.

She cried for a long time before waking up from her grief. She took a pen and signed her name on the divorce papers.

"You and Dad are selfish people. I hope you made the right choice."

Yasmine glanced at her mother-in-law coldly and said, "Get out. I'm tired."

"I'm sorry, Yasmine. I'm sorry. Don't worry. In less than a year, I'll give all of this back to you..."

"No, I'm tired of this kind of life. If I leave, I won't come back again."

Before her mother- in- law could react, Yasmine pushed her out of the room and slammed the door shut. Yasmine fell to the ground again and shed blood-like tears.

Sebastian was not home until one o'clock in the morning. He quietly entered the room and was afraid of waking Yasmine up. However, he was surprised to learn that not only was Yasmine not asleep, she was sitting on the sofa like a statue.

He felt a bad feeling rush through him. He turned on the light in a hurry, but when he saw the luggage bag next to Yasmine, he rushed over and asked, "Yasmine, what are you doing?"

"Let's get divorced."

Yasmine looked straight ahead indifferently and did not look straight into his eyes. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper. Sebastian panicked and held her shoulders. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"It's real this time."

She reached out and handed him the divorce papers that were on the coffee table. "I've signed mine." Sebastian was shocked as he looked slowly at the divorce papers. He suddenly released the trembling hands on her shoulder. "Why? Didn't you say that you will face the challenges with me..."

"I must live for myself for once. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to live a grieved life without dignity."

She stood up, picked up the suitcase at her feet, and walked out of the door blankly. However, Sebastian grabbed her from behind and said, "No, Yasmine, I'm begging you, don't leave me. I'm begging you, I'll do anything, just please don't leave

__ _ n

me...

The seven-foot-tall well-built man, suddenly cried like a child because his lover was about to leave him.

Hearing Sebastian's helpless cries, Yasmine's heart shattered into pieces. She felt unbearable pain in her heart, as if she had been torn in half while she was conscious. At that moment, she felt as if she could not live anymore.

Tired, she said with the remaining strength in her body, "Marriage is more than just love. I'm really tired. Let me go."

She pushed his hand away and walked forward firmly. Sebastian suddenly roared, "If you leave, don't ever come back again!"

Yasmine stopped, closed her eyes, and shed her last tear. In the end, she did not look back, leaving with complete resolution.

She walked out of his life, out of his world, and out of his dark fate—the one that the Goddess Eris had cursed.
