Chapter 6

Author: Fishing Pole
Eugene glared at my and Rupert's wedding photo, looking as though he wanted to burn holes in my phone with his eyes.

If this were five years ago, I would probably still feel bad for him or pity him. But now, not anymore.

I turned and looked at Rupert next to me. He was currently crouched over on the ground, lacing up Cody's shoes for him. The sun was warm on his skin, giving him a rather ethereal glow.

The luxury car was still parked over in the corner, and there were still two breakfast sandwiches he'd bought left in the glove compartment for me.

The villagers immediately began chatting excitedly among themselves.

"Oh, my goodness! Who would have thought that Maria would end up marrying the richest man in the world? And to think that Eugene even tried giving her a bunch of ten-dollar bills earlier! How embarrassing!"

"That's right! He thought that Maria was living a terrible life on the streets all these years, but now, look at her! She's a famous archeologist, and her husband i

    "Janice was killed by Brutus. And the baby also wasn't mine; it was Brutus'. The child protection services have already taken him away," Eugene cried. "I—""It has nothing to do with us," I said, cutting him off. I then placed a protective hand on my belly and said, "I have a husband and children now. I'm very happy with my life."Cody suddenly poked his head out from Rupert's arms and asked, "Mommy, why is that weird man crying?"I pecked him on the cheek and said, "Because he did something wrong."The rain continued pelting down from the skies.Eugene watched as the three of us went back inside the house that was filled with warmth, and the door slowly closed in front of him.Just before the last of the light was shut out, he saw me say something to Rupert, and Rupert then smiled and rubbed my belly.The next morning, I found the blue bag Eugene had been holding last night hanging outside the door when I opened it. The three things were still inside the bag, but there was so

    Janice suddenly began screaming Eugene's name out loud."Eugene Doyle, you piece of trash! You bastard! You heartless man! How dare you do this to me! I'll kill you!"The baby in her arms had such a huge fright that it wouldn't stop screaming and crying.Fred flipped the stack of documents in his hand and said, "Also, about stealing Ms. Johnston's job from her—""I never stole anything from her!" Janice shrieked. "She never wanted it in the first place!"Benjamin suddenly jumped to his feet. "You're so shameless! There was an acceptance letter for Maria even before she married into the Doyle family, but you got Jack to pose as the mailman and intercepted the letter before she could get it!"I saw everything with my own two eyes! And if you and Brutus hadn't come and threatened me back then, I would have already spilled the truth a long time ago!"Janice was shocked. The final verdict had been given, and the sun had only just begun setting on the horizon, dyeing the brick wall ou

    "I am nothing but a village girl who grew up in the countryside! How was I supposed to compare with her, with her fancy college degree?" Janice yelled back in Eugene's face. "She'd already enjoyed her life before that. Why couldn't I be the one to enjoy my life next?"She's nothing but a bitch, and she deserved everything that came to her! I just never thought that she'd manage to find someone else after everything. She's nothing but leftovers!"Eugene stared at Janice and felt as though he'd just been struck by a bolt of lightning.He knew all along that Janice had been a little spoiled, but he never thought that she was this evil. He simply couldn't fathom how much pain she'd caused me in the past.Eugene shoved her to the ground. "You're a cruel, heartless woman!"Janice suddenly grabbed at her belly and curled up on the ground in a fetal position. Blood started seeping through her pants and onto the dirt."The baby! My baby! He's coming out!"Eugene quickly rushed Janice to

    Eugene looked like he'd just been struck by lightning."That's impossible! No way! You were eight months pregnant!"He suddenly grabbed my shoulders and yelled, "Why? Why did you do that? He was our flesh and blood!""Why? Didn't Janice tell you why?" I responded coldly, flinging his arms off me. "I was a helpless young woman abandoned in the village by her husband when she was eight months pregnant! "How was I supposed to raise the child on my own? Fresh air and sunshine? Did you know that I even had to borrow the money to go through the abortion?""You're lying!" Eugene suddenly exclaimed, looking agitated. "I told Janice to give you five hundred dollars and five sacks of grain! That would have been more than enough for you and the baby to get by until I returned!"Suddenly, he stopped talking and froze. That was because I was looking at him like he was a monkey in a circus."Five hundred dollars? Five sacks of grain?" I echoed, shaking my head. "Did you know, Eugene, that th

    I crouched down and gently wiped the mayonnaise from the corner of Cody's mouth."Yes, Cody. Be a good little boy today, okay? Mommy still has some work to do. But Mommy will bring you blackberry-hunting later after work. Would you like that?""Yay!" Cody nodded eagerly as he tugged a corner of my shirt. "Daddy also promised to teach me how to read hieroglyphs today!"He'd barely finished speaking when a pair of bright, shiny leather shoes stopped right before us. It was Rupert.Rupert crouched over and picked Cody up, carrying him on his hip. Then, he took the plastic document folder from my hands and said, "You must be tired, honey."I looked at his sweet smile and shook my head, saying that I wasn't.A moment later, Rupert's secretary, Samson Waters, came up to us and addressed the villagers, "This is Mr. Rupert Kingston, and next to him are his wife, Ms. Maria Johnston, and his son, Mr. Cody Kingston."Mr. Kingston would like to thank everyone for taking such good care of Ms
