"Mason, you liar! You said this villa was yours! Yours my ass! Both you and your brother are just scammers!"Jason promised to give me a good life, but the moment I moved into this villa, I was treated like a servant—either waiting on your mom or serving that damned wife of yours!"Now look at this—your brother had his way with me and then conveniently died, and you, you useless chump, kept sleeping with me too! Seems like I'm the one who's been serving two useless men back-to-back!"Forget about money, now we're about to lose the villa too! Even half of your money is getting split by your wife! How the hell are you going to support me now? How are you going to give me the luxurious lifestyle you promised?"The more she spoke, the angrier she got.She raised her hand and swiped at Mason's face, leaving five long bloody scratches across it.Mason flared up too. "Are you done yet? I've done so much for you, and all you ever care about is money, money, money! Were you ever with me f
Because of Jason's death, the vehicle involved in the accident was left abandoned in a scrapyard for wrecked cars.It took me a lot of effort to finally locate the car. I had technicians retrieve the severely damaged SD card from what was left of the dashcam.Even though the technicians were extremely skilled, the damage to the SD card was too severe. In the end, they were only able to recover a small portion of the data.Even if it was a small portion of the data, it became the key to solving the rest of the case.In the exported video, there was a clearly reckless move where Mason, who was driving, sharply turned the steering wheel right before hitting the slope. That was a major cause for the deadly rollover.And most importantly, before the vehicle flipped, he could be seen stealthily unbuckling Jason's seatbelt amidst the chaos. This became the decisive evidence proving he had murdered his own brother.Confronted with the video evidence and an intense police interrogation, M
I glanced at him, but my attention was more on my freshly done nails."Whatever. What's the point of you swearing loyalty to me now? Are you hoping I'll forgive you? Or do you actually expect me, after everything you've done, to wait for you for 17 years and pick up where we left off once you get out?"Mason, do you know what the best decision I've ever made is?"He stayed silent, only looking at me nervously."The best decision I ever made… was getting rid of the child I had with you. Otherwise, not only would it have been harder for me to remarry in the future, but the child would also have had to live with the shame of having a murderer for a father and be looked down on by other kids."I couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense any longer, so I waved him off dismissively."Tell me, what did you actually call me here for? Surely it's not just to confess your sins."Seeing me ask directly, he immediately put on a pleading face."Celine, you know my mom has always treate
Jason and Mason McMahon were a pair of twins. Not only were they hard to tell apart by appearance, but even their voices were almost identical.The brothers were both automotive review bloggers.Leveraging their twin gimmick along with their professional vehicle evaluation skills, they managed to gather a considerable following.They often conducted vehicle tests in closed environments, and until now, there had never been an accident.No one had expected that during this latest test, a mishandling would land them into a catastrophic vehicle rollover.In the chaos, my husband, in an attempt to protect his brother, was thrown from the car by the intense centrifugal force and died instantly.At that time, I was already four months pregnant.Upon hearing the news of my husband's death, it felt like my world had come to an end.Supported by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I forced myself to the hospital.But the moment I saw my husband's mangled, broken body in the morgue, I co
Gloria's voice was dripping with jealousy."Hmph! You're such a pervert! You actually plan to keep both a wife and a mistress too?""Even if that's the case, you're going to be the wife. As for Celine, she's nothing. Even calling her a mistress is giving her too much credit."On the other side of the door, faint sounds began to surface. It was like the gentle rustle of feathers, followed by some faint smooching sounds over and over again.The man's breathing grew labored."Gloria… Oh… Gloria, you are so sweet.""Stop it! Someone might see us!""So what if they do? Technically, I'm the one who died. Now, I'm Jason, and kissing my own wife is perfectly natural!"I felt my cheeks burn up immediately as the anger inside me roared to life.Jason's corpse was still lying there in the morgue, yet here they were—his own twin brother and his so-called wife—shamelessly kissing right outside my ward.Jason's body hadn't even been laid to rest yet, and this vile couple was already doing
"I'm sorry. Mason never liked anyone touching his things. I just got too emotional just now," I explained.After speaking, I looked at him suspiciously."Jason, shouldn't you be in your own room? Why are you using Mason's razor here?""Huh? Oh! My razor broke. I figured you guys would have one, so I came over to grab Mason's razor. I didn't expect you to react so strongly."He looked me in the eye and continued, "Celine, I never realized… you loved Mason that much."Staring at the man's familiar face just inches from mine, my tears instantly welled up and streamed down my cheeks."I still can't believe he's really gone," I choked out.Mason's gaze softened. He pulled out a tissue and gently wiped my tears."Don't be too sad. We'll be here for you."Just as he finished speaking, a furious shout rang out from behind us."What are you two doing?"Startled, I turned around, only to be met squarely with a hard slap across my face.Gloria, my sister-in-law, glared at me with eyes
"Besides, I'm still pregnant right now. You say you're afraid of pain and don't want to have kids, and that's your choice."However, the baby inside me is Mason's child, the only bloodline left of the McMahon family. Just because you don't want kids yourself doesn't mean you can stop others from having kids."If you'd lost control of your strength and something happened to this baby, you'll have to answer to Margaret. If that happened, how could I ever face Mason in the afterlife? Is that what you want? To end the McMahon lineage?"Hearing this, Mason finally showed a hint of guilt. He nudged Gloria with his elbow and shot her a look, signaling something to her."What are you standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Celine!"…That night, I made up an excuse about going for a prenatal massage and left without even eating dinner.The very moment I stepped out of the door, the three of them immediately huddled together inside the villa.In the living room, Margaret raised he
"There's no need to worry. As long as I keep her under control during this time, I'll have her wrapped around my finger eventually."Margaret let out a sigh."Ah! With how things are now, we have no choice but to go along with it."Sitting in the car, I listened to this family's disgusting conversation. I was so furious I almost wanted to abort the child right there and then.Mason, that bastard! On one hand, he was saying I loved him so deeply that I couldn't live without him.On the other hand, he was slandering me to no end, calling me a promiscuous woman, worse than a mistress or prostitute.It was so contradictory that it made no sense.And Gloria was no better. They were both equally vile. What a match made in heaven!Jason had just died, and she was already screwing around with Mason, yet she still dared to talk about loyalty and love. What a shameless woman.As for Margaret, she was no saint either. She was delighted that her son was getting all the benefits, yet she k

"Besides, this house belonged to you and Mason! What right do you have to kick us out? Half of this place belongs to Mason!"Mom and Jason have inheritance rights to this house too! If you think you're going to hog this whole villa for yourself, you can dream on!"I had already expected her to say something like this, so I had prepared in advance."Gloria, you're actually wrong about that. This villa has absolutely nothing to do with Mason."I glanced at Mason, who was the picture of guilt at the moment. Then, I pulled out a document folder from my bag and placed it on the table."This is a copy of the deed for this villa. The registered owner is my father. Here are the bank transfer records showing that all payments for the villa came from my father's account."Even the SUV Mason used to drive, and the sports cars you and Jason are driving—all those vehicles are registered under my dad's company. You should've seen the ownership listed on the vehicle registration papers, so I wo
"Would they think that Jason is cheating by committing bigamy, or that Gloria and I are both serving one husband together?"You might be willing to accept this embarrassing situation, but why should I put my own dignity on the line? I have to care about my own reputation too!"Besides, I'm not even 30 yet. Now that Mason is gone, I'll need to remarry someday. If I gave birth to this child, it would be almost impossible for a widowed woman with a kid to remarry. Did you ever think about that?"Margaret was rendered speechless by my words. She struggled to find a comeback but couldn't find the words."B-But…" she stammered.Just as Mason and Margaret were struggling for words, Gloria suddenly spoke up."Celine, let's put aside the issue of the baby for now. I've been meaning to ask you. What did you mean just now when you said you wanted us to move out?"…In truth, Gloria never cared much about the child in the first place. All her talk about being afraid of the pain of childbir
Upon hearing the news of the abortion, Mason slammed his fist down hard on the coffee table.He suddenly stood up, glaring at me fiercely as if I had just cuckolded him before his very eyes.The look in his eyes was so vicious that it even made me wonder if he might strangle me on the spot."Celine! Who gave you permission to abort the baby?"I put on a confused expression."Jason, what's wrong? Why are you so emotional all of a sudden?"Being questioned like that, he quickly realized he had overreacted.However, the aborted child was still his very own flesh and blood. Anyone in his shoes would have trouble staying calm.He tried to steady his breathing, but his brow remained tightly furrowed."I just don't get it… Mason had just passed. How could you abort his child? That was the only thing he had left in this world."You loved him so much, but now, you've killed the child you had together. Have you ever thought about how Mason would feel about this in the afterlife? How wi
