Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

"I don't have any regret." Jessica felt happier and relieved now that Randolph was gone, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

Dolores stared at Jessica silently for a few moments before asking. "Have you considered whether or not this is against the law, and how it would affect me?"

"I have." Jessica believed she could continue to look after the kids for her if she managed to flee or that she would take responsibility if she was arrested, but she could no longer do so. "Even without me, you'll have a fantastic life. Matthew appears to be a kind man, and since you are the mother of his children, he will treat you properly even if it is for the sake of his children."

"So, you had everything prepared for me?" Dolores clenched her fists.

"Please accept my apologies." Jessica couldn't think of anything more to say.

Dolores was emotional, and it took all of her strength not to cry in front of Jessica. "What should I tell Samuel and Simona in the future after they claimed they missed you two days ago? That their grandmother is a murderer?"

Jessica's face tensed as she heard the word murderer.

Dolores had realized her lack of sensitivity and immediately regretted it.

"Enjoy your life." Jessica then stood up and walked over to the front door. She paused for a moment, her hand on the doorknob. "There's no going back for me now, don't blame me because I can't keep my commitment to look after you properly, I'm sincerely sorry."

Dolores was self-blaming and didn't realize the meaning behind her statements.

Jessica would have noticed her intention and stopped her if she had concerned her a little more.

She had the chance to put an end to it all, but now...

Dolores sobbed, her face buried in her hands, knowing Jessica would be going to prison no matter what.

She had the opportunity to have a happy life in her remaining years, but she decided to ruin it to get revenge on Randolph.

Was it all worth it?

Hearing Dolores cry hurt Jessica's heart. "Don't be sad, I made the decision understanding the repercussions, the only thing I forgot to consider was your and the children's feelings, tell them..."
