MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 5 Episode 5

Vicente and Nina parted in discord. When Vicente was willing to talk, Nina seemed to see hope. As long as she was not the only one who was against the marriage, she would have a chance to say no to the marriage.

However, Vicente had already accepted his fate.

He didn’t care about loyalty or love. The only thing he was concerned with, was his future wife’s status.

Nina was the only one who fit the bill.

This crushed the last life-saving straw that Nina grasped.

At night, she irritably tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She knew she was unable to run away again.

This problem had to be solved sooner or later. She couldn’t run from it forever. She eventually gave up her pointless efforts to sleep in the early hours of the morning.

She pulled a chair and sat on the balcony. Marveling at the sky with the morning light, she saw the sun rising from behind the sea, casting a golden light over the water.

It was quite a strange thing. The sun had the same routine of rising in the morning and setting in the evening but there was so much more to a day. Every person had their own unique experiences every day based on their choices, and it was far from routine.

Nina was sick and tired of feeling so down in the dumps. She realized that if she couldn’t do anything, she had to wait and see what the world had in store for her.

She fantasized about the sun rising one day and John would come and save her, taking her back home with him.

Nina took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, filling her body with energy. She stood up on the edge of the balcony, took out the elk pendant, imagining it was John. She said, “John, I will take good care of myself, and you should too. I hope you can come get me as soon as possible, but for now, let’s pretend we’re in a long-distance relationship. I heard that after a couple make it through a long-distance relationship, they are bonded for life.”

Perception was everything. Change one’s perception and the situation could not mean as much anymore. That was exactly what Nina did. She had changed her outlook and almost instantly, she felt much better.

Nina’s face lit up again, reflecting the thin layer of the morning sun.

A gust of wind blew, snatching the pendant from her clutches.

“My elk!” Nina stretched out to grab it, but to no avail. She could only watch the elk fall.

Fortunately, it didn’t fall all the way into the bay but just onto a ledge under the balcony.

It was a narrow ledge that was only wide enough for one of her feet. Without even hesitating, Nina climbed over the balcony, held onto the railing and moved towards the elk.

When she was close enough, she loosened one of her hands and reached down to grab it. She stretched her slender finger, picking it up.

Nina took a deep breath and threw the elk on the table on the balcony. She put her hands on the railing and was about to jump back when she heard a scream.

“Ah…” Rebecca knocked on the door and came in. When she saw nobody on the bed, she went straight to the balcony.

She was stunned when she saw Nina clinging onto the balcony railing. “Oh my goodness! The princess is going to jump into the sea!

Help! Help! The princess is going to jump into the sea!”

Hearing that, Nina almost lost her grip.

Falling would lead to her most certain demise.

“Rebecca, can you stop shouting?” Nina said crossly. Rebecca was so scared that she couldn’t even hear what Nina was moaning about.

Rebecca’s shout seemed to wake up the whole of Scher Mountain.

When Anne and Bruce heard the scream, they rushed over and saw their daughter standing on the edge of the balcony. If she let go, she was going to plunge to her death.

Rebecca was riddled with so much anxiety that she was rooted to the spot.

“No wonder the princess has been going to the balcony every day. It turns out she wants to commit suicide. It’s all my fault. I should have seen this earlier.”

“Nina, calm down. Don’t be rash. Please don’t let go, okay?” Anne’s face turned pale.

The corners of Nina’s mouth twitched. “Mom, I…”

“Nina, I will give you whatever you want in this world, just please don’t jump. Please!” Bruce was being drowned by the anxiousness. He wasn’t ready to lose her.

Nina said, “I’m not…”

“It’s Dad’s fault. It’s all my fault.

Just don’t let go, okay?”

Nina was speechless.

‘Can I just finish talking?’

“I’m not going to jump.” Nina finally got her words out but her parents were too busy whispering plans to save her to hear her speak.

It was like they completely blocked her out.

Rebecca nodded repeatedly and left after hearing the order.

Everyone ran around in such a panic that nobody even took note of what Nina was actually doing.

She soon heard the sound of a fleet of yachts storming towards her. In an instant, they blew up an enormous rescue air cushion and placed it beneath Nina in the sea.

Nina looked at it for a while and turned her head.

As soon as she turned around, she saw two burly bodyguards on the balcony. They wanted to creep towards Nina and pull her back onto the balcony when she was least expecting it.

Nina turned her head and the bodyguards froze like deer in headlights. Their sudden appearance scared the life out of her, causing her to loosen her grip.

“Ah…” Nina leaned back and fell.

Her mind went completely blank in the moment of panic and she didn’t even try to grab onto the railing again.

“Your Highness!”

“Nina!”

“Nina!”

All she heard was heartbreaking screams as the adrenaline filled her body. As Nina thought all hope was lost, she felt a hand grab onto her arm, saving her.

One of the bodyguards came to the rescue.

“Thank God.” Nina’s heart was pounding. She looked up at the two of them and didn’t know whether she should thank them or shout at them.

She was never going to jump but it was actually their fault that she was shocked into loosening her grip.

Saving her was enough to make amends though.

Nina lowered her head and looked down. She could have very easily drowned if she fell into the sea. If she hit the reef, she would die a terrible death.

Just the thought of it made Nina’s skin crawl.

“Your Highness, let us pull you up.” Nina was pulled up slowly, with a joy of narrow escape.

As expected, only on the brink of death does one understand how precious life is.

Anne and Bruce were scared to death. They quickly ran over to grab her. Anne almost cried when her hand touched Nina’s arm.

She almost lost her child.

Anne scolded with tears filling her eyes, “How dare you do that? Did I raise you all those years in vain? Do you want me to have a heart attack?

Even if you don’t care about your parents, you should think about the baby in your belly. Don’t you care about John? Are you okay with killing his child? I’m furious.”

Anne was so worried that she wasn’t thinking straight. She spilled the beans in front of everyone.

Nina was finally safe and sound on solid ground.

As soon as her feet touched the floor, she couldn’t wait to question her mother. “What did you say just now? I’m pregnant?”
