Mike didn’t want to meet my gaze and directly pressed the electric shock button. The current suddenly intensified, making me convulse and curl up.
The stabbing pain in my abdomen reminded me of the two lines on the pregnancy test I saw yesterday.
I had planned to surprise Mike with the news at our wedding tomorrow. It was a double blessing.
But I never got the chance. What was meant to be joyful had now become a thorn in my heart.
For a fleeting moment, amidst the chaos in my mind, I wondered. If I had told him yesterday that I was pregnant, would I have been spared this torment today?
He once said that even if I turned to ashes, he would still recognize me. But now, I stood right before him and he didn’t know me at all.
Worse yet, at the host’s suggestion, he chose another torture method. "Add another seventy thousand dollars. I want to see the water punishment."
Mike's voice was laced with ice, sending a chill through my entire body.
The host, thrilled that I had fetched such a high price, kept praising Mike and Jane as a golden couple.
My vision blurred with blood, but it didn’t stop me from clearly seeing Jane leaning smugly in his arms.
