Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Some of the details from the wedding went by like a blur to Alice. The moment it ended, her real nightmare soon began.

Never in her life had she experienced something like that happening to her. This was the reason behind her initial shock.

Jonathan had been drinking a lot of liquor on the day of their wedding. A polite smile was plastered on his face the whole time, yet the way his eyes blazed in anger told an entirely different story. Although there were parts that she couldn't clearly remember, there was one thing that happened she would surely never forget.

When they were already in the car, Jonathan just sat there and remained silent as if he was already too intoxicated to speak. Despite this, she knew that he was still sober.

As soon as they got to the villa, he got out of the car without even bothering to glance back and walked into the villa alone.

Of course, Alice had no choice but to quietly follow him inside. As she did, she couldn't help but wonder how she offended him that day.

She pursed her lips, honestly having no idea at all. The only conclusion she was able to come up with was that she had exhibited inappropriate behavior at some point.

As she followed him without saying a word, she nervously fiddled with her fingers.

The creak of the door opening was the only sound in the area. After Jonathan went inside, she followed suit.

There wasn't even any time given to her to at least open her mouth to say something. As soon as she stepped inside and closed the door, he slapped her hard on the face. She could barely process what was happening when the man continued to give her several more slaps.

As the impact of his strong and rough palm hit her, she suddenly felt that her world was turning upside down. Alice clumsily tried to stretch out her hand and reach out to anything for support, but since she was nowhere near anything, she immediately slumped to the ground. Jonathan had finished the whole process in one go, leaving her no room for any negotiation.

Her eyes glared daggers at him despite the burning sting that was radiating off her cheeks. She couldn't believe that he had done that to her. All her life, she had never been beaten up by anyone. Now that she had just gotten married, she was met by a series of slaps on the face by her new husband.

She wanted to scoff at the thought, thinking of how ironic her situation was. Trying to ignore the swelling of her face, she sneered at him.

"Let me tell you this, Alice. It's a shame for me that I married you. Don't push your luck," Jonathan scolded.
