Blood Mascare

Today, I faced a great dilemma—should I give my relationship another chance or not? I was deeply confused. The man I had loved and cherished for five years did not love me back. I had once been so happy when I took my wedding vows, promising to cherish our marriage in both wealth and poverty. Yet, all this relationship had given me was humiliation and heartbreak beyond repair. I had made my decision—I would divorce Bo Beichen and free him from the shackles of my love. I would restart my life with new beginnings.

As I was heading to see Lawyer Gong, my phone buzzed with an unknown text: "Bo Beichen is in danger."

I lost all sense of reason and ran toward the destination. My heart pounded as I reached the warehouse, only to be met with the deafening sound of gunshots. I rushed inside and was shocked to my core—my husband's lover, Shao Ning, had a pistol pointed at him, about to pull the trigger.

Panic surged through me. My heart screamed for me to run toward him, but—

"BANG!"

My internal turmoil came to a halt as something warm and red stained my white muslin dress. Then, it struck me—it was my own blood. A searing pain tore through my chest as my knees buckled. I braced for the impact of the ground, but instead, I found myself in the embrace of my husband. My vision blurred, my life flashed before my eyes, and a single thought echoed in my mind: Am I really dying?

At the brink of consciousness, I heard a voice—a pained, guttural growl. And then, I lost it. I felt my last breath leave me.

Bo Beichen's POV

As I fought against the men hired by Lu Anna to kidnap my beloved Ning’er, an uncontrollable rage consumed me. I wanted to strangle that woman. But then, I heard the gunshot and turned—only to see Ning’er aiming the gun at me, and Anna, my wife, collapsing to the ground with a gunshot wound in her chest. Her pristine white dress was drenched in red. A sharp, unbearable ache pierced my heart.

Then, I saw the cruel glint in Ning’er’s eyes, and I realized—I had been played by this vile woman.

At that moment, my team arrived and subdued her. But she was no longer important. My world had narrowed to the fragile woman in my arms. Anna’s face had turned deathly pale, and I could see her slipping away.

"No, no, Anna, stay awake! Look at me!" I pleaded, pressing her head against my chest.

Her lips trembled as she tried to say something. "Yes, baby, what do you want to say? You’ll be alright! The doctors will be here soon, okay?"

She murmured something, but before I could understand, she went still.

Tears burned down my face. "Don’t say this! You’ll be fine! Where the hell is the doctor?!"

The doctor arrived and checked her pulse, his face turning pale.

"What’s taking so long? Treat her! Or I’ll kill you and your whole family! Do you hear me?!" I roared.

He stammered, "Sir… she’s already… d-e-a-d."

A deafening silence filled my ears. It felt as though my soul had left my body.

No. She couldn’t be dead. She loved me too much to leave me.

Then how…? How could she?
