Terrence spoke with concern, “If he learns it, what do you do?”
“Do not worry.” Dixie acted calm. “Atticus still has feelings for me. He does nothing to me.”
Terrence finally gave in. Two hours afterward, he informed Dixie that he and Brianna had already gotten onto the airplane.
The strain in Dixie’s nerves eased slightly, and all power in her body seemed to fade away.
She swallowed a sleep tablet and, after a deep rest, rose to organize her belongings.
After many years together, Atticus had given her one whole wall, in jewelry and handbags alone.
Together with garments and footwear, they covered the entire villa.
Dixie gathered all the presents and sent them to a recycling platform.
Then she reached a real estate firm and placed the house for sale.
This villa was the home for her and Atticus after the wedding. When purchasing it, Terrence had provided half the payment, so she could stand tall after the wedding.
What did not belong to her, she did not wish for.
What belonged to her, she must take back.
During those three days, the bodyguards continued observing Dixie. She had no method to escape.
Besides, Jennifer sent endless WhatsApp texts to anger her each day.
[Atticus purchased many jewels for me. He says you are only an ornament he brings home as a bride. I am the real love.]
[Being a woman like this, you are truly a failure. If I were you, I would simply die!]
[Atticus says he loves how I appear in bed very much. He never separates from me in this life…]
The Dixie now was already used to these WhatsApp texts.
On the night before the wedding, Atticus came back.
He did not enter the bedroom, but remained outside the doorway and spoke softly, “Wife, I miss you very much. But following Jefferson City traditions, we cannot meet tonight.”
“I bring you a present and place it at the doorway. Remember, you collect it later.”
Dixie felt a twist inside her stomach. She held back the urge to vomit and replied, “I understand. You leave.”
“You are still upset?” Atticus’s voice is somewhat disappointed. “I know you suffer unfairness. But my wife, Jennifer, always acts spoiled. If I do not give you a lesson, she does not release you.”
That painful time of abuse rose inside her mind. Dixie could not hold down the anger inside her heart and spoke with tight teeth, “I do nothing. Everything is planned and performed by her! Atticus, you regret this!”
“I already feel regret…” Atticus breathed out quietly. “Forgive me, wife. I repay you later.”
“Rest early. Tomorrow, you become the most lovely bride in Jefferson City.”
After saying that, the sound of his steps slowly disappeared.
Dixie suddenly laughed. While laughing, tears ran down from the sides of her eyes.
Atticus, tomorrow, I give you a wedding you never forget in your entire life!
Very early the next morning, the beauty team came to the villa to arrange Dixie’s appearance.
Dixie guided the makeup artist upstairs and, without drawing notice, handed her water mixed with sleeping pills.
After the makeup artist drank the water, she lost consciousness soon afterward.
“I am sorry,” Dixie spoke quietly, then pulled out a thick red envelope and pushed it into the woman’s hand.
Then she removed the woman’s clothes and put them on, placed a cap and mask on herself, and walked directly downstairs.
The door opened. The bodyguards casually looked at her and then shifted their eyes away.
Dixie held her breath and entered the wedding company’s vehicle as though nothing happened.
Just when the driver prepared to speak, she quickly passed him a bundle of money.
“Do not ask anything. Drive me to the airport as quickly as possible.”
The driver paused for half a second, then stretched his hand to accept the money and began driving.
During the trip, officers phoned. “Miss Chapman, we already arrested the male models who assaulted you. They admit their offenses.”
Dixie pressed her teeth together and spoke one word after another, “I want them to receive the punishment they deserve!”
The journey remained smooth the whole time. Twenty minutes afterward, she reached the airport safely.
After boarding the plane, Dixie sent the intimate recordings of Atticus and Jennifer to the Reid family chat group.
The caption contained only four words. [Bastard cheated, wedding canceled!]
After pressing send, she blocked Atticus and every person connected with him.
The announcement informed passengers that the airplane would depart soon. Dixie switched off her phone and shut her eyes from tiredness.
Atticus, farewell forever!
