After the fifteen–day period of imprisonment, when she walked out of that heavy iron door, a black luxury car was parked across the street.
In front of the luxury car, there stood her well–dressed husband and son, both with a cold expression.
Before being taken away by the police, Ariella pleaded with Jovan Hensley to save her.
Poker–faced Jovan embraced his first love, coldly reproaching, “This is your own fault.”
At that moment, the impatience on his face was identical to that of that day.
“Hurry up and get in the car. Let’s go home,” Jovan commanded coldly.
If it were half a month ago, Ariella would have rushed forward without hesitation, tightly embracing him and telling him how much suffering she had endured during the fifteen days of her detention.
But now, she remained motionless as the passenger door of the luxury car opened. A woman dressed in designer labels then walked out..
When her high heels landed, they made a “clack” sound, as if they could easily crush someone’s heart.
The woman sighed helplessly as soon as she got out of the car, her delicate face filled with apologies.
“Ariella, are you still blaming me for accidentally running over your dog? But you also hit me in anger. Please stop quarreling with Jovan, okay?”
After Lailah Barrett finished speaking, she began to cough, as if her emotions had triggered old wounds. Fury surged through Ariella.
Reddie, a dog that Ariella had been raising for six years, pushed her away, allowing her to avoid the out–of–control car. However, Reddie was caught under the wheels.
How could Lailah’s globally limited luxury car lose control while driving at low speed in the villa area?
This was clearly a deliberate murder!
Shocked and devastated by the death of Reddie, Ariella went crazy and wanted to fight desperately with Lailah.
Jovan just returned home. Regardless of the truth, he immediately stood behind Lailah, not allowing Ariella to come any closer.
Afterward, the police arrived.
It was Ariella’s son, Leonel Hensley, who called the police.
Leonel stood in front of Lailah, with his tender little hand pointing at Ariella.“Mom wants to kill Auntie Layla. Please arrest her.”
Ariella was speechless at that time. Even though she had married Jovan for six years, she was eventually taken to the police station.

Lailah was magnanimous and did not want to pursue the matter, but Jovan insisted on teaching Ariella a lesson, so she was detained for fifteen days.
In the past fifteen days, Ariella experienced unprecedented mental torment.
When it was late at night and everything was quiet, she would recall the innocent look in Reddie’s eyes and the indifferent expression on Jovan’s face.
Ariella looked up and glanced at the blue sky, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes.
The fifteen days of confinement were longer than fifteen years, so long that Ariella gradually accepted the fact that she lost her husband.
Jovan took off his coat and draped it over Lailah.“It’s cold outside. Why did you come out?”
“Auntie Layla, let me warm you up.” Leonel also held Lailah’s hand.
Lailah smiled weakly.
“It’s alright. I’m much better. Ariella has misunderstood me. If I don’t personally come to explain, she will be upset.”
Jovan’s face instantly darkened.
“She did something wrong. What’s there to feel upset about?” Immediately, his cold gaze pierced Ariella like a sword.“Ariella, stop it! If you sincerely apologize to Layla, you will still be Mrs. Hensley!”
Ariella looked at Jovan.
It turned out that he had long been eager to get rid of her.
Fragments of the past flashed through her mind.
Once Ariella fell and lost consciousness while mountain climbing, and it was Jovan who happened to pass by and saved her. Later, they discovered that they were college classmates, and gradually developed feelings for each other.
After falling in love, Ariella used her family’s influence to push Jovan into the position of the president of the Hensley Group and successfully married him as she had wished.
Although Ariella’s parents opposed her decision, believing that it was too hasty for her to get married and become a housewife immediately after graduation, she did not regret her choice.
However, Jovan’s first love, Lailah, appeared.
Ariella panicked, struggled, pleaded, and even tried to use their past affection to force Jovan to stay, but all in vain. Instead, she pushed Jovan further away.
People around Ariella thought she was excessive.
So when Ariella was detained, people said that Jovan had done his utmost by not leaving a record for her.
But they all didn’t know the truth.
That black house was so quiet that it would make people lose their way and lose track of time.

Ariella was most afraid of darkness and silence.
She broke down and crashed into the wall, scratching herself. She even bit her tongue to commit suicide…
She bit her lower lip tightly, believing she was not wrong.
Ariella thought, “If I’m wrong, it’s a mistake not to hold Lailah accountable!”
Ariella replied, “I won’t apologize to her.”
Leonel immediately stood in front of Lailah. His face was full of anger, like an enraged little beast.“Auntie Layla doesn’t want to argue with you anymore. She even came to pick you up. Why won’t you apologize? You’re so annoying!”
“Leo!”
Lailah held Leonel’s shoulder and said, “You are not allowed to be so rude.”
Leonel’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, looking extremely aggrieved. Then, he turned his head angrily and stared at Ariella, saying, “I don’t want such a malicious mother. Why aren’t you my mother? I just want you to be my mother.”
Ariella felt a dull pain in her chest.
Leonel was a premature baby. He had a weak body since childhood and was prone to crying. He was clingy and needed to be held except during sleep time.
Even though Ariella had just given birth, she had to endure the pain and patiently soothe him.
Whenever Leonel fell ill, she would stay up all night, afraid that any unexpected situation might occur.
Ariella used to think that her son was her everything, but during the time she was detained, she experienced countless mental torments. Only then did she realize that nothing was more important than her own life.
Some people were born with thin family ties. It was better to let go, which was good for both parties.
So, Ariella endured the pain and accepted the fact of “losing her son“.
“Jovan, let’s get divorced.
“I will leave you three to be together.”
Ariella said softly and then turned around, no longer looking at them.
She seemed to have found relief, a faint smile touching the corner of her mouth.
However, her words left Jovan stunned.
It took him a while to recover, and his furrowed brow slowly relaxed. “There should be a limit to causing trouble. Don’t be ungrateful!”
Ariella fell silent, not wanting to have any further communication with Jovan. She just turned around and shouted towards the detention center.
“Rauly, are you ready? If you don’t come out soon, Mommy will leave first!”
