Chapter 61 Pushed Down The Hill (1/2)

Fiona trudged slowly up the path. It was a little difficult, but her exhaustion dissipated as soon as she saw the picturesque scene. ‘No wonder they built a road here. It overlooks such a lovely view!’ she thought to herself.

She positioned herself on elevated ground and looked on at the majestic Maple Mountain panorama. Maple leaves framed the distant landscape of mountains and rivers, forming what looked like an extremely beautiful painting that delivered tranquility at first sight.

”Hello? Fiona, can you hear me?”

She finally came to her senses as Ryan’s voice shouted through the phone. ”Yes Ryan, I heard you! What is it?”

”Nothing happened between me and Leona!” he said.

Her heart skipped a beat. ”What did you say? That nothing happened between you and Leona?”

Leona stopped, suddenly rooted to the ground. After taking in what she had just heard, she started to tremble.

”I checked the bar’s surveillance video. Nothing happened that night!” Ryan said angrily. ”She drugged me!”

Fiona’s jaw dropped as she let out a shriek. She didn’t even think that could happen in real life. She didn’t know what else to reply except more questions. ”Are you sure? Do you know why she would do something like that? Seeing the two of you, I thought...

I’m so sorry you had to go through that.” He breathed loudly enough that she could hear him through the phone. ”Anyhow, I would just like you to know nothing happened between us. When you come back, I’ll tell you everything about it.”

”Okay, sure.” She was still in a daze.

”Can we start over?” His breathing had slowed down, and his voice sounded relieved and expectant.

”Ryan...” Fiona trailed off, completely caught off guard by his words.

”I said it before and I’ll say it again. I have nothing to fight for in my life but you,” he insisted firmly. ”I’ve been trying to do the right thing these days. I held myself back from seeing you, though I miss you terribly...”

A gust of autumn wind blew over Fiona and her hair flowed along. As she looked at the magnificence in front of her, her heart seemed to stir once again.

”I should have checked the surveillance video earlier, but I felt too helpless at the time. Now that I look back, I feel so stupid.” Ryan ruffled his hair in frustration. ”I’d rather believe that this is God’s way of saying to me that I shouldn’t give up on you. And I won’t.”

Fiona pulled away the phone from her ear as a weird buzzing noise suddenly interrupted their call.

She looked at the screen, then held it back up.

”Hello, Ryan? Are you there?”

But he didn’t answer, and the signal was left unrestored.

”What just happened?” She sighed and turned around. She froze in her tracks as she saw Leona standing quietly under the shade of a tree, only a few steps away from her. Fiona held a hand over her chest in surprise, and she felt her heart beat fast. ”Leona! Why are you here?”

Leona stepped away from under the shade, glaring coldly. ”What did Ryan say to you over the phone just now?”

Fiona’s pulse quickened. She felt a sudden surg

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
