Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 3

Seeing Augustus’s betrayal with her own eyes, Ophelia felt as if her heart had been ripped out.

She carried Julian into his room and placed him on the small bed.

She tried her best to comfort him.

“Jules, just three more days. After three days, we’ll leave. Can you tidy up the things in your room?”

The little boy nodded.

Only then did Ophelia step out and close the door.

In the hallway, Augustus said with cold eyes, “We’ll talk in the study.”

When Ophelia entered the study, she realized something.

At some point, Kimberly had left an imprint of herself within Augustus’s study. There were her accessories, jewelry, sheet music, and various snacks on the sofa and the carpet.

In the past few years, this room had only contained data, research directions, and materials she discussed with Augustus.

Things had changed without her noticing.

She remembered how exhausted she was when she was pregnant with Julian.

She had fallen asleep while leaning against him.

When she woke up, Augustus kissed her forehead and said, “Ophelia, don’t exhaust yourself. You and the baby are my life. Only when you are well can I be well.”

Back then, she had felt that all her effort was worth it.

Because Augustus had given her a home and warmth.

Now, when she entered the study, Augustus threw stacks of papers at her.

The pages were filled with handwritten notes.

“Ophelia, there’s news from Kim’s school. These are testimonies from the bullies. Someone from

New York transferred money into their accounts to have them bully Kim, and that account eventually traced back to you.”

Ophelia didn’t say a word.

Augustus’s voice was cold. “I won’t divorce you. I’ll comfort Kim this time, but I will never let her leave me again. If you still want to be with me and maintain our marriage, put away your malicious thoughts.”

Ophelia didn’t even have the energy to explain. She forced herself to stay calm.

“Augustus, do you have time tomorrow? Come with me to the lab. There’s something wrong with the previous data. I need to check it.”

Hearing that something had gone wrong at work, Augustus furrowed his brow.

“Tomorrow morning, I need to take Kim to the hospital. Her injuries can’t leave scars. I’ll have lunch with her and go to the company in the afternoon.”

She realized she had been deprioritized. She hadn’t noticed before, but now, as an observer, it was clear.

When Kimberly had a cello competition, he left her alone in meetings with foreign partners just to watch Kimberly perform.

If Kimberly complained of pain, he’d leave her on the roadside, asking her to take a cab to the Reynolds’s residence, forcing her to face the elders of the Reynolds family alone.

If Kimberly wanted ravioli, he’d wake her up in the middle of the night, even though she had worked for more than ten hours, insisting she cook for Kimberly.

“All right…” Ophelia let out a long sigh.

The next morning.

Ophelia woke to screaming.

Augustus barged into her room like a madman.

He yanked her off the bed.

Ophelia groaned in pain, her delicate features scrunched in discomfort.

Augustus gripped her hand tightly. His eyes were red.

“Ophelia, how dare you do this to Kim?”

Beside him, Julian cried, hitting Augustus. “Bad Daddy! Let go of Mommy!”

Augustus shoved Julian aside. The boy fell to the floor instantly.

His phone slammed down onto the bed.

“Ophelia, those people actually took photos of Kim, and now they’ve uploaded them online. Everyone in New York knows about it.”

“Ah… Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Monroe had attempted suicide.”

Augustus immediately pushed Ophelia aside and ran across the room.

Ophelia stood frozen, seeing Kimberly lying on the bed, her wrist cut, blood flowing and dripping onto the floor.

Ophelia’s face went pale.

She covered her son’s eyes with her hands.

“Jules, listen to Mommy. Stay in your room. Don’t come out.”

Kimberly risked her life for this scheme.

Ophelia didn’t know what the consequences would be.

Augustus carried Kimberly to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Ophelia was forced into another car by his bodyguards.

The car sped off.

They arrived at the hospital owned by the Reynolds Group.

Augustus ran frantically while carrying Kimberly.

Ophelia looked at Augustus, who had forgotten that he was a highly skilled surgeon.

Less than half a minute after Augustus entered her room, Kimberly had cut her wrist, just in time

for the maid, Margaret, to see.

The amount of blood she lost couldn’t have been enough to be life–threatening.

Ophelia was dragged to the surgery room door.

Augustus’s eyes were cold as he stared at her.

“Since you like taking photos so much, fine!”

He walked over and in front of the bodyguards and passers–by, yanked her clothes apart.

Her skirt was torn, revealing her flawless skin instantly.

She shivered, trying to cover herself with her hands.

But Augustus pressed down on her. Ilis large hand gripped her wrists and stopped her from struggling.

With a cold look in his eyes, he said, “Ophelia! What you did to Kim, I will repay a hundred fold!”

Ophelia’s body trembled, and her throat felt like it was being cut with a knife.

“Augustus, I’m your wife, and the mother of your child. How dare you treat me like this in front of everyone?”

He slammed her against the cold wall. Ignoring the crowd, he ripped off her clothes completely. They fell to the floor.

In an instant, countless camera flashes focused on her for live streams, photos, and videos.

His cruel lips curled. “Ophelia, you ruined Kim’s reputation. So I’ll let the whole city watch your body!”

Ophelia’s face went pale. She tried to cover herself, but it was impossible.

Augustus pressed her wrists above her head, forcing her arms up.

He deliberately let everyone see her body.

The crowd filmed even more eagerly.

Everyone knew who Augustus was.

Tears streamed down Ophelia’s face.

She remembered Augustus five years ago.

Back then, when her skirt tore slightly, he immediately took off his coat and covered her, even though nothing was exposed. He had been anxious to the extreme.

But now, he destroyed her completely for another woman.

The moment Augustus released her, Ophelia fell to the floor,

Her trembling hands grabbed her clothes and put them on quickly.

She was about to leave the scene.

But his cold, merciless voice came.

“Ophelia, all your photos are online now. Kim’s have been taken down everywhere. As for yours… Handle them yourself!”

Ophelia’s face twisted into a bitter smile. She clutched her chest.

She left without saying anything.

Her mind replayed the first time Augustus had wanted her.

He had kissed the mole on her chest, saying, “Ophelia, from now on, only I can see your body. No one else is allowed.”

Sitting in the car, Ophelia unlocked her phone to see the headlines everywhere.

“Mrs. Reynolds has a red mole on her chest.”

“Beautiful woman with a red mole.”

“Hot body!”
