Juliet and I relied on each other for strength as our parents passed away when we were young. We took care of each other; she was precious to me, and it would hurt me to see her in any form of pain.

I couldn't believe that I dragged her into the mess due to my poor judgment of character. It was one thing for me to marry Soren, but I shouldn't have introduced Zach to my sister. They wouldn't have gotten married if it weren't for me.

At the end of the day, we gave our all to our husbands. We even went through the challenges of pregnancy, only to be manipulated by Soren and Zach as they vied for Jenna's attention!

Juliet let out a sudden snicker as her sobs grew heavier.

I looked up and saw her raising her phone for me to see. She showed me a photo of a topless Soren with a rope tied around his waist. Jenna rested in his arms as they were lowered to the ground. And Zach, dressed in a police uniform, rushed over to them.

The photo was really dramatic. Caught in the middle of two handsome men, Jenna looked like a frightened princess being saved by her knights in shining armor.

The photo was from the tweet Jenna just posted. She even added a rather suggestive caption, "If I had to choose again, should I pick the firefighter or the cop?"

Comments flooded into her tweet.

"I want to eat my cake and have it too!"

"Oh, just kill me! I could make up an entire Wattpad story just from the caption alone!"

"I need the three of them married right away!"

I flashed a bitter and painful smile when I noticed the rings on Jenna's necklace. Her rings and Soren and Zach's wedding rings were couple rings.

"I thought all four of us shared the exact same rings as a testament to our relationships. But Jules, your ring and mine are the men's style."

"Elsie, that's ridiculous!" Juliet started crying again, her voice trembling in pain.

I struggled to get up and took her phone away. Then, I gently patted her on the back to soothe her, just like I did when we were younger.

"Oh, Jules. Let's forget about this for now. We have to get better, first and foremost. We should put a stop to our losses before it's too late."

I choked a sob as I comforted Juliet. It was so unfair.

Before Juliet and I were married, we were unaware of Jenna's existence. Yet, we had to suffer because of her. She and our husbands had made us the audience to their flirting!

…

"Elsie, just how much do they resent us? They're avoiding us like the plague," Juliet lamented self-deprecatingly.

After a few days of rest, she looked more energetic. However, she soon began to tear up.

I lovingly caressed her hair and said to her, my voice choking up, "Don't you worry. I'll think of a way to get us both out of here. We'll live our lives freely, never dating, never marrying, and never getting pregnant again…"

After some deliberation, I believed that hiring an attorney was the easiest way to handle the issue. Soren and Zach would definitely understand that Juliet and I were serious about the divorce. We were determined to see it through. They wouldn't dismiss it and thought we were just kicking up a fuss.

But the attorney called me to vent. "Ms. Kent, I cannot take on you and your sister's cases! What kind of men did you marry?

"They're basically hooligans who broke the chairs when they heard your names! Gangsters like them shouldn't be working as public servants. I've refunded the attorney fees. I'm sorry I can't help you two!"

With that, the divorce attorney hung up on me.

At the same time, I received a call from Soren, who had unblocked me. "Eliza, can you be normal for once? I blocked you for a good reason. If all women were as jealous as you and Juliet, it would be disastrous!

"How dare you get a divorce attorney to show up at my workplace and Zach's office to make a scene? We're so unlucky to marry you and your sister!"

Once again, he hurled humiliating insults at me. Gritting my teeth, I let out an angry scoff.

That seemed to have set him off. He barked, "What are you laughing at? I will divorce you even when you're pregnant!"

"Why did you think I called up a divorce attorney?" Eyes closed, I took a deep breath. "Soren Doyle, I am serious about the divorce. You're the one who takes me for granted, thinking that I'll only follow you for the rest of my life.

"By the way, send this message to Zach too. Meet us at the courthouse this afternoon."

I was met with a long silence, but I couldn't be bothered as long as I managed to get my point across.

Right as I was about to hang up, Soren bellowed, "Eliza, are you dead set on stirring up trouble?

"How many times do I have to explain myself? I'm just doing my job! Jenna is so traumatized that she can't sleep. Am I wrong for spending two days by her side as a friend?"

Then, I heard Jenna's weak sobs in the background.

"Soren, you and Zach should leave. I'm fine alone… Eliza and Juliet are pregnant, after all. I'll forever blame myself if something happens to them, and I'll feel too guilty to meet with you again."

Soren replied impatiently, "Don't listen to Eliza's nonsense. Jenna, just have a good rest and cheer up. Leave the rest to Zach and me. I'll go home to Eliza when she's in labor.

"She's been complaining about some bleeding, but she's just fine. I'm so annoyed by her dramatics. She's embarrassing me!"

Oh, was I truly fine? I flashed a wry smile as the color drained from my face. I quickly ended the call.

Meanwhile, Juliet had overheard my conversation with Soren.

"Elsie, just cry if you need to." Tears streamed down her face as she gave me a light hug. "You'll feel better after you let it all out."

She added, "We'll look to the future. They will never get to look down on us! After we divorce them, I'll go on a trip with you!"

"Sounds good."

We wiped away each other's tears with bitter smiles.

Soon after, Jenna tweeted again. She posted a photo of Soren cooking in the kitchen and Zach serving the food.

Zach didn't tuck in his shirt like he used to, and his unbuttoned shirt exposed a large area of his chest filled with hickeys. It was as though he wanted to show it off to the whole world.

"Did the three of them…" Juliet looked shell-shocked and disgusted, and she did in fact puke after that.

I also felt appalled by their behavior. They had no shame; driven by animalistic lust, they could mate with anyone at any time as long as they felt the urge.

Soon after, Juliet's phone rang with a call from Zach.

"Juliet Kent, you have ten minutes to look up the emancipation form online and print it out," he barked out the order, as if Juliet was one of his suspects. "Fill it up and take a photo for me. You need to promise you'll never get in touch with that dumb and evil sister of yours. Got it?"

He added, "I would have slapped you if you weren't pregnant!"

Juliet nearly smashed her phone in anger. Zach, who didn't receive a response, yelled even louder, "Did you hear me? Are you deaf or what? Speak!"

"Buzz off! You and Soren Doyle have no shame!" I snatched the phone from Juliet and hurled curses at him. "You like groveling at Jenna's feet, don't you? Get a divorce, then! You could do anything you want with Jenna and Soren. No one will care, even if you bang each other to death!"

Then, I hung up and blocked Zach's number on Juliet's phone.

Ugh! I had been too nice to these sleazeballs!

Juliet laughed through her tears. "Elsie, you looked really cool just now when you cursed them out."

I teased her, "I'll look even cooler when I shave my hair off after the divorce."

Then, I held her hand and went to the nurse station to fill in the discharge forms. I even planned to find a place to live and get it ready for both of us. After that, I would get my hair styled along with Juliet to embrace our post-divorce freedom in our best forms.

However, we were rudely shoved away by someone near the nurse station.

"Nurse, call a doctor! She's taken a lot of sleeping pills!"

We were shocked to find Zach carrying Jenna in his arms. Her eyes were tightly shut.

The nurse immediately attended to Zach as he was in his police uniform.

Following that, Soren hurried after them with a panicked expression. He briefly paused when he saw me before taking it out on me. "Eliza, I never thought you were capable of such evil! I'll hold you responsible if anything bad happens to Jenna today!"

After threatening me, he rushed toward the emergency room. I snorted at his empty threat, but Juliet trembled in rage. She hissed, "Those two animals! I'll bet with my life that Jenna McLeish will not die today."

This wasn't Jenna's first attempt at such acts, but Soren and Zach took the bait every time.

"Juliet Kent!" After Zach sent Jenna to the emergency room, he marched toward Juliet. "Didn't I warn you not to be around your sister? You're doing this on purpose to get on my nerves, aren't you? Look at what you've both done to Jenna!"

He slapped Juliet without warning, causing her to fall hard. As her forehead hit the corner of the wall and started to bleed, she fainted.

"Zach Lennon, what are you doing?" My mind went blank, and I grabbed his collar. "You can't just hit your wife over your first love—not even when you're a cop!"

My accusation immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"What bullshit is that? I know you're pregnant, but you shouldn't think that—" Zach was about to push me away in anger when he noticed my visibly slimmer belly and paused.

Soren came over after he paid for Jenna's hospital fees, oblivious to my physical changes.

"Look at what you've done!" He flung a parcel at my head. Though it wasn't heavy, the impact made me dizzy for a while. At that moment, Soren looked like a stranger to me.

Papers fell out of it and scattered all over the floor. I saw the words on those papers—assembled with cuttings from various newspapers.

"Call girl!"

"Go to hell!"

"Shameless tart! You'll get run over one day!"

Those were a few examples of those messages.

Soren yelled at me, "I told you I was just doing my job to save Jenna's life! I spent two days by her side as a friend! How could you shame and insult her over nothing? Huh?"

He grabbed my hair and yanked it backward, forcing me to look him in the eye. His expression became wild. "Eliza, I really feel like strangling you right now."

"I didn't do it! Soren, are you dumb? I don't even know her address!"

But Soren didn't hesitate to pin the blame on me.

I lost control of my temper from the pain. I flung the hospital report on his face before clawing him, leaving behind some bloodied scratch marks. "Bring it on! Let's die together! You're a total loser if you don't kill me today!"

Triggered, Soren grabbed my neck. "You—"

"Soren!" Zach hurried over to stop him and showed him the report I had thrown away.

Feeling conflicted, he revealed, "The baby… Both of us lost our babies…"
