Chapter 7

Cutie Kitty
The kid’s voice echoed straight up the stairwell, hit every wall, and landed clear as day in front of everyone.

People blinked back at him in total confusion. My parents looked just as lost.

My eyes snapped over to my in-laws. Brenda and Kevin averted their gaze instantly, guilt written all over their faces.

It hit me right then. They knew about this kid all along. No wonder they stopped nagging Lucas and me to start a family years ago. I thought they were just trying to spare Lucas’ feeling

  • I Kicked My Paralyzed Husband Out   Chapter 12

    I looked down at Lucas.The last bit of color drained from his skin in a heartbeat, leaving him ghost-white."Lily!" he snapped, his voice trembling as he practically spat the name through his teeth.The sudden shout startled the entire coffee shop, drawing every pair of eyes in our direction.Lily clearly had not expected to run into Lucas here. Her face darkened instantly. "What are you doing here?"The guy beside her frowned, looking annoyed. "Lily, who’s this guy?""I...""He's my uncle!" Lily cut in before Lucas could open his mouth.She gave Lucas a pointed look, silently begging him to play along. However, this time, Lucas did not fall into line.He exploded right there in front of everyone. "Your uncle? Is that what I am? Your uncle broke his leg trying to mess around with you! Your uncle was so terrified of you suffering that he gave you every cent he owned, only for you to destroy his life! Your uncle was manipulated into having a kid with you!"Panic hit Lily hard.

  • I Kicked My Paralyzed Husband Out   Chapter 11

    Just a few days later, Lucas took the initiative and offered to transfer his apartment's deed into my name.…Wondering what kind of game he was playing, I agreed to meet him at a local coffee shop after he reached out that evening, rolling himself inside in his wheelchair.He was significantly thinner than before, looking completely hollow and exhausted. Seeing him look like total trash brought a quiet wave of relief.I expected him to beg for mercy or try to stand up for Lily again. Instead, his very first sentence caught me entirely off guard."Scarlett, you came back too, didn't you?" Lucas asked, his face deadly pale as he stared at me.I raised an eyebrow, staying completely silent.Tears welled up in his bloodshot eyes. "I had this nightmare. In it, you treated me so well. You were completely devoted, patient with all my flaws and outbursts."But before I died, I left a will giving all our assets to Lily. You were left with nothing, and your life was a living hell."Hea

    Which meant while the two of us were tearing each other apart out here, Lucas was actively reaching out to Lily for help. Only after she blew him off did he decide to act weak and crawl back to me.He really had it all calculated.Before I could even respond, Leo, who had been hiding in Lucas' arms like a coward moments ago, threw a full-blown tantrum. Hearing that Lucas was ditching his mother, he scrambled free, trembling with rage as he pointed a finger directly at Lucas' face."You're a terrible dad! You ignore me all the time, and now you want me to accept this woman as my mom? No way!"He swung his hand toward me, but the second I hit him with a deadly glare, he pulled his hand back, terrified.Instantly, Leo started pounding Lucas' thighs again. Lucas' leg hadn't healed yet, and he winced in agony, trying to soothe the kid and get him to stop.Instead of listening, the kid got energized by Lucas' pain and began kicking him directly in his injured leg.The absurd sight bro

    Just like that, the kid spilled the truth. With Leo’s revelation, the whole truth hit the air, leaving no room for doubt.The surrounding neighbors shot sympathetic looks in my direction. I didn't care in the slightest. The moment I decided to tear off Lucas' mask, I had already prepared myself for the worst-case scenario. No matter how messy this got, it was infinitely better than my past life, where I was stripped of my savings and died with my eyes wide open, swallowed by regret.An outspoken neighbor pointed a finger straight at Brenda's nose, fuming. "You people are unbelievable! Your son does something this filthy, and you still have the nerve to strut around making noise? Lying to everyone and humiliating yourself in the process!""Wait, I recognize this guy!" another neighbor chimed in, "I've seen him bringing a strange woman into our apartment complex before. This kid has to be hers.""Right! I actually caught him in the security office a while back asking them to delete

    My parents refused to believe it. Their faces turned pale with rage, their lips trembling with fury. "You're lying through your teeth!" my dad barked.Brenda smirked, practically reveling in the chaos. "Lying? You tell me then! My son has been married to your daughter for six years, and they don’t have a single child to show for it. If there isn't something wrong with her, why else wouldn't she be pregnant?"The crowd of neighbors started whispering back and forth again."Six years without a kid? That’s a little weird.""Honestly, if she really can't have kids, you can't blame the guy for wanting a family."Their murmurs only fueled Brenda's confidence. She squeezed out a few fake tears, turning to the crowd with a dramatic sob. "Kevin and I have always dreamed of having grandkids. Even before they got married, we were already looking forward to helping raise them. But who could’ve guessed our daughter-in-law was infertile? Do you have any idea how heartbreaking that was for us?

It turned out that they already had a grandkid tucked away in the shadows.Lucas went dead pale. His lips parted, but not a single sound came out.Brenda grabbed the boy by his wrist, tugging him toward the exit. "You've got the wrong person, sweetie. Who are you calling Daddy?"She was panicking. If she admitted the truth, it would prove Lucas had been cheating. The moment that happened, they wouldn't get a dime of my money in the divorce.However, a six-year-old did n
