Chapter 5

Author: Melon Seed
Patricia carefully held Marvin's hand and tugged him out of the hospital room.

Nonetheless, she couldn't help but recall the despair and grief in my eyes earlier.

Furrowing her brow, she turned to Marvin, asking, "Marvin, you two didn't do anything to Bradley's grandmother, did you?"

A trace of guilt flashed in Marvin's eyes. He hastily placed his hand on Patricia's abdomen, replying, "Of course not. I'm going to be a father soon, so even if it's not for my sake, I have to think of the baby,

  • I Was the Fool at My Own Wedding   Chapter 9

    After leaving Grandma's grave, Patricia hired the best lawyer to take Marvin to court. As a result, what should've been a 20-year sentence ended up becoming a life sentence.Then, she paid someone to "take good care" of him.That day, Marvin's life was utterly ruined. He lay in a pool of his own blood for a day before he was finally taken to the infirmary.Following that incident, he went crazy. Whenever anyone approached him, he would drool while madly shouting that he was the true son-in-law of the Ferguson family.As for the heirloom pendant that he had taken from me, Patricia carefully placed it into a box before delivering it to me.On the day I returned the box to her, unopened, Patricia brought her father's mistress back home as well.Looking at her mother's face, scratched up by the mistress, she laughed self-deprecatingly."Would you look at that? My father was a serial cheater, and so am I. Looks like being unfaithful runs in the family. No wonder you said that Marvin

  • I Was the Fool at My Own Wedding   Chapter 8

    Just a second ago, Patricia was admitting that she was wrong. Now, she was standing right by Grandma's grave and asking me to sign a letter of forgiveness for her murderer.Noting the lack of expression on my face, she swore, "Brad, just sign it this once, and I'll immediately divorce Marvin. I'll give you the official status and grand wedding you've always wanted. Everyone will give you their blessings."I'd once begged her for these things in vain. Yet all it took was a few tears and pleas from Marvin, and she offered them to me so easily.Unfortunately for her, I no longer cared about them anymore.Flinging her hand away, I wiped the place where she had touched me."Do you think what you're offering is actually worth anything?""What?"For a moment, Patricia could only stare at me in surprise. When she noted the disdain shining in my eyes, her unease intensified."But these things clearly meant the most to you…"Tossing aside the handkerchief I used to wipe my hand, I sc

    The air seemed to thicken with tension.As everyone watched, a plainclothes police officer stepped out from behind me. He headed straight to the stage and slapped a pair of handcuffs over Marvin's wrists."Marvin Sawyer, you are hereby suspected of murder. Please come with us."Patricia frowned deeply and raised a hand to stop them."Officer, what are you saying? Marvin is a sickly man who was only just discharged from the hospital. How could he have possibly killed anyone?"The police officer shot her an impatient glance before playing the surveillance footage from the hospital."Last night at 8:00 pm, Mr. Bradley Sawyer's grandmother died in the hospital. At 7:40 pm, Marvin Sawyer and your mother entered her room and forcefully took away the life-saving medication she needed to take every day."Patricia's hand trembled as she whipped her head around to stare at Marvin."Marvin Sawyer, who gave you permission to touch Bradley's grandmother?"Marvin shrank back a little but st

    Marvin's voice was breathless and laced with a hint of caution."Patricia, you and Bradley have such a good relationship. So why are you sneaking around with me behind his back?"Patricia's moans stopped briefly, and she answered, "The Fergusons need an heir."Clearly confused, Marvin pressed, "But you could have a baby with Bradley too."Letting out a soft laugh, Patricia kissed him urgently and answered in a breathy voice, "He won't do. His mother was a mistress and a crazy woman who set herself on fire. Bradley inherited her genes, so there's no way I'd allow someone like that to become the father of my child.""Enough!"Patricia scowled as she ordered someone to turn off the audio equipment. Then, she glanced anxiously toward where the groomsman was supposed to be, only to realize that I wasn't there.Taking off my cap, I unplugged the thumb drive with the audio recording I had just played and laughed."What are you so nervous about, Patricia?"Patricia's eyes widened as h

Stop worrying about them so much and pay more attention to Marvin. You two are going to have a wedding, remember?"Patricia pursed her lips before nodding hesitantly. Then, she texted me, "Brad, I was wrong for slapping you earlier. You've always wanted to be officially recognized as my husband, right? After my wedding with Marvin, I'll take you abroad an

    I couldn't stop my eyes from reddening when I heard that."So you decided to ruin me first?"As Patricia pointedly avoided my gaze, I demanded hysterically, "Patricia Ferguson, just what the hell did I ever do wrong?"She was silent for a moment before she spoke in a gentler tone than before. "Brad, I admit that I was a little too hasty this time. But it's only because I'm too scared that you'll hurt Marvin and the baby. Once the wedding is over, you can vent however you like."Yet before I could answer, I received over a dozen urgent calls from the hospital."Mr. Sawyer, please hurry to the hospital. Your grandmother's condition suddenly deteriorated due to severe distress. If her condition worsens any further, her life will be in danger!"All the blood seemed to freeze in my veins.No longer having the presence of mind to confront Patricia, I rushed to the hospital as quickly as I could.When I arrived, the door to Grandma's room was wide open, and Marvin was standing by her
