Revenge After Death

Later, I discovered that he left me at the hotel to die that night because Yasmin’s father, Roger Bailey,

fell ill

He had suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while drinking. His hospitalization, recovery, and subsequent recovery cost a lot of money.

Michael insisted on the best for everything. He demanded a private room, the finest nurse, an elite medical team, and top–notch rehabilitation

He could spend tens or hundreds of thousands, or even millions for Yasmin without batting an eyelash.

Yet, he treated me with extreme cruelty.

While Yasmin enjoyed his unreserved generosity, I carried a heavy burden.

It seemed that no amount of money and kindness I had shown throughout my life would be able to repay him.

For a long time, I struggled to differentiate gratitude, guilt, and feelings. I couldn’t distinguish them clearly.

Sometimes, I wondered if I really loved Michael, What did I love about him?

Did I fall in love with him when he rescued me?

Did I become infatuated when he risked his life and rushed into the car to carry my parents‘ bodies?

Or was it the moment when he gazed at me with concern and fear of losing me when the car exploded?

As it turns out, I was deceiving myself.
