Never Blinded by Love

Chapter 1

"Help! Mrs. Wilson has fallen into the lake!"

A chorus of insincere cries for help echoed through the vast villa garden. The housekeepers by the lake appeared frantic with their chaotic footsteps, but none genuinely intended to rescue her.

Linda Felix felt the icy water envelop her body. Soon, a warm trickle of blood seeped out, as if something was being torn from her insides.

Before she lost consciousness, she saw her imposter, Ida Clinton, whom her mother-in-law, Joanne Clay, had painstakingly brought in.

Ida stood with her arms crossed in the pavilion as she watched the scene unfold with a victorious stance.

Another set of footsteps approached. Through her blurry vision, Linda caught sight of her husband. His tall figure sparked a flicker of hope.

She wanted to call for help, but being submerged in the water, she couldn't utter a word.

William Wilson's steps were slow and unhurried. He squatted by the lake and watched Linda struggle with cold and indifferent eyes.

The clear water was now stained red from the blood flowing out of Linda's body, turning the small man-made lake a ghastly crimson.

Linda's vision blurred further as her strength faded. Darkness enveloped her as she passed out, and the last image of William's indifferent, mocking smile burned into her mind. Voices of the unpunished, fearless housekeepers floated through the air. "Isn't Mrs. Wilson a strong swimmer? How could she not get out of such a small man-made lake?

"I bet she's trying to gain Mr. Wilson's sympathy again. After all, Mrs. Wilson always loved these petty tricks."
