Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 313

Annabelle was perplexed, and after hearing Harry’s words, she felt more skeptical of herself.

After Daryl died, Annabelle became sick, not physically, but mentally. Francesca remarried after fleeing with the Solace family’s money. She didn’t care about Annabelle at all.

Moreover, Francesca’s second husband was a jerk. He was a violent guy who loved to gamble and drink. When he had a difficult day at work, he would come home and release his anger by hitting someone.

Francesca was smart and would go to hide, but Annabelle had nowhere to hide and had no idea when the man would be upset. He’d beat Annabelle up and then burn her with a cigarette. She would be covered with bruises, and several times, she even thought she would die at the man’s hands.

Francesca wouldn’t care about her when she returned home, let alone take her to the hospital. Instead, she would smile smugly when she noticed Annabelle’s pained expression. Furthermore, Francesca would curse at her stepdaughter, saying she deserved it and that she should die sooner.

Annabelle was miserable during those years. She even wanted to commit suicide as Francesca said.

Since Daryl, whom she loved, was no longer alive, there was no one else in the world that she cared about.

Annabelle once thought, “What’s the point in living?”

Even so, she knew that she couldn’t die alone; she had to drag someone else with her.

Annabelle hid a kitchen knife beneath her pillow and prepared to kill Francesca’s husband and die with him if he beat her again. Later, she did stab him.

She was pleased when she saw the blood gushing out of the man, but the joy and pleasure didn’t last long. Soon, terror and fear overcame her.

She cried in fear and hid in the corner, watching the man lying on the ground as if he was dead.

Later, Annabelle called Christopher.

Christopher went to her school numerous times in secret to look for her and stuffed a note to her with his phone number on it. Annabelle hated Christopher at the time since he was the reason why she lost her father and ended up in such a miserable situation.
