I Killed My Husband

“Buck up, Summer! Even if Lucius is dead, you’ve still got me! I’ll never leave you.” Rebecca Stone, my bestie, held my hand and comforted me when she found me in the hospital. After a pause, I looked around and realized that I was reborn. I was reborn and back to the day when Lucius Holmes, my husband, had a heart attack and died. During my previous life, Lucius and I worked hard to earn money to afford a big house. I worked full-time during the day and part-time in a hotel at night. I was already exhausted and weak from it. My husband’s sudden death filled me with exhaustion. I fell seriously ill and was bedridden. However, Lilian Newt, my mother-in-law, kept my illness from my parents and forcefully took me home from the hospital. She denied me treatment so that I would die. When I was about to die, I saw my husband on the news on TV. He was full of smiles because he won a lottery ticket worth 300 million dollars. Rebecca was standing beside him. I stopped th

Before long, I saw Lilian walk over with a cup of tea. She was full of smiles. “Summer, I was wrong about you. You must be exhausted. Have some tea.”I knew this was their trick. They must have added a sleeping pill into the tea to make me fall asleep before they could continue with their scheme. I waved and looked meek. “That’s unnecessary, Lilian. You should go to bed. Take good care of yourself, so I don’t have to worry about you too. I’ll keep watch here. Lucius was the love of my life. I can’t let anyone take my place.” Lilian’s face sank. She blurted out, “No, I can’t watch you starve like this.” I knew that she was referring to Lucius. If not, I might have assumed that she was a good mother-in-law. “You don’t have to worry about me, Lilian. I’ll grab a bite if I’m hungry.”Lilian gritted her teeth and nearly yelled at me again. “Have some tea if you don’t want to eat. It’s the dead of winter. You’ve got to eat something.”It seemed like she wanted to force me to d

It seemed like Lucius and Lilian were going to come up with a way to make me sign for divorce in the meantime. All I had to do was stay vigilant toward them. After all, I did not know how wicked they could be. I returned to my room at night. Lucius, Lilian, and Rebecca were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Lilian had asked Rebecca to spend the night while we were still at the dining table. Presumably, they wanted to discuss something. I was cautious and left a recording pen behind the sofa. When they went back to their rooms to sleep in the middle of the night, I went to the living room to search for the recording pen. I fast-forwarded to when someone started talking. I heard Rebecca’s voice first. “Mrs. Holmes, I’m already three months pregnant. What’ll I do if I start looking pregnant?”Only then did I understand everything. It turned out that Rebecca was pregnant with Lucius’s child. It was no wonder they had exhausted all means to get me out of the way

After reaching the summit of the snowy mountain, I pretended to sit down to rest. I noticed Lucius looking around for something. He looked down at the mountain and stole glances at me from time to time. I pretended not to know as I drank some hot water from the thermos and rested my feet. When I was fully rested, I got up. “Let’s go, hubby. Let’s go down the mountain. It’s too cold here. My head hurts.” Unexpectedly, Lucius abruptly got up. “No, we can’t. We don’t get to see the sunrise from the mountain peak every day. Shouldn’t we wait for the sunrise and take a photo to commemorate the moment?” I smiled and shook my head. “I don’t think we should wait for the sunrise. The night view is great too with so many stars. I’ll take a photo of you instead.” Of course, Lucius would disagree because he had a different agenda. He was too hesitant to let me take a photo of him. “I’ll take a photo of you instead. We’ve been married for so many years, but I don’t even have one ni

Lilian cried piteously. When she heard me, she immediately pointed at me. “Sir, I want to report a case. This woman killed my son!” The cops walked over to pull Lilian away. “We’ll take Summer Lloyd to the police station now. You guys can come along with us. We don’t let go of any criminal, nor do we accuse someone falsely.” I went to the police station with them. In the meantime, Lilian continued to yell at me. She claimed that I got her son killed. She wanted them to shoot me to death. I looked at the cops. “Sir, I found a surveillance system at the top of the mountain. We’ll know the truth once we get the footage. Lucius’s death has nothing to do with me. He wanted to kill me instead.” Lucius was ignorant of something when he took me up the mountain. The top of the mountain was monitored. He had committed a crime, whether I rescued him or not. Lilian stopped crying when she heard that. She tried to stop the cops. “Why? She harmed my son! If not, how could he die?
