You Were My Only One novel Chapter 1

A sharp ringing pierced the silence of midnight, Scarlet woke up sweating. Staring confusedly at the phone on the bedside table, she answered it, while pressing her painful temple.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mrs. Tang. This is the first detachment of traffic inspectors. Your husband and your sister’s car fell into the river. Could you please bring two sets of clothes...they are naked..." Scarlet couldn’t hear the officer’s last words, the only sentence echoing in her ears was“they are naked...”

What the...?! My sister and my husband?

How wild was it to fall into a river?

"Hello, hello? Mrs. Tang? Did you hear me?"

Scarlet hung up the phone in silence. She squeezed her fists firmly, and the wedding ring on her left ring finger was gleaming, which made her eyes and heart ache. Even though she had expected the day of truth would come, but she didn’t think it would be in this dramatic way, that was why she still felt so pained and sad.

Scarlet arrived at the police station at almost two o'clock in the morning. The policewoman in charge of the reception was a young girl. She looked at Scarlet sympathetically, whispering and comforting, "How could you send clothes here? This jerk should be drowned in the river."

Scarlet smiled bitterly and said in an unspeakable desolation: "It was me who chose the man."

"..." The young policewoman looked at Scarlet in surprise. Generally, a woman knowing her husband cheated would cry and make a lot of noises. But Scarlet’s reaction was a bit strange, she was too calm.

After completing all the formalities, Scarlet saw her husband Younan Tang, and her elder sister Zijin Song taken out and released by police officers. She looked at them from a distance. After a long while, she clenched her bag tightly and walked out of the police station quickly.

The midnight wind was icy and bitter. Scarlet stood by the car, squeezing tightly the handle, trembling with restraint. The moment she saw them, she wanted to desperately kill these shameless bastards!

Pulling the car door, and at the moment she was about to get in, she was caught by a beautiful slender hand. She froze and saw a comely face, it was Zijin. Scarlet couldn't help frowning and said in disgust: "Don't touch me. Dirty bitch!"

Zijin didn’t let her go but held tighter. She looked at Scarlet's pale face and smiled maliciously: "Scarlet, don't be angry. I'll take care of Younan for you and there would be no drama of mistresses robbing your status of Mrs. Tang. You should thank me..."

Scarlet shouted angrily: "Is there a woman more shameless than you in the world? He is your brother-in-law! You are my sister! How could you hook up with him? Even if you don’t care about me, do you ignore your own husband?"

Zijin said disapprovingly: "Oh, what you said is nonsense. Since you can't meet your husband’s sexual needs, as your elder sister, I should naturally help you and take good care of your husband."
