Killed by My Best Friend

At the police station, a police officer, Rory Huffman, began questioning us about what happened. Shaun fumed, "It's all her fault! She kept asking my wife to hang out with her all the time. She asked her out again today, and now my wife's still not home at this hour! She's not even answering my phone. How am I supposed to stay calm like this?"So I went to ask her about it, and she told me my wife was at the café below her apartment. I went there, but my wife was nowhere to be seen. I went to her house to ask her, and she refused to tell me. How can I not be furious?"Rory turned to me. I spread my hands. "I thought he was playing a joke on me. His wife told me that she was going to the café downstairs for some coffee. How would I know where she actually went?"I showed Rory my chat history with Cindy. Her message was clear."Rainey, if my husband asks, just say I went to get some coffee. He's so controlling. He doesn't even let me go grab something nice to eat. I can't stand him.

Cindy froze, her face pale as she stared at Shaun. Shaun was equally shocked. He didn't know how things had spiraled into this.They looked at each other. Neither knew what to say.Standing to the side, I broke the silence. "Cindy, why are you here? What happened? Why are you handcuffed?"The police officer who had brought her in handed her over to Rory. "We received reports of illegal transactions between these two.""Transactions? What transactions?" Shaun blanched, as did Cindy. She began to sob and clutch at her stomach."It hurts! Shaun, my stomach hurts! Our baby!"She collapsed to the ground. Everyone flew into a panic. She was pregnant, after all. If something serious happened to her, it would be a disaster.The police immediately sent her to the hospital. Meanwhile, I told Carmen to follow up on the matter. I did not want to let this matter go.Shaun wanted to leave, but I wouldn't let him.Furious, he glared at me with reddened eyes. "If anything happens to my wife,

I turned and left. Behind me, the reporters I'd brought began following up on the story. I gave them a clue—Cindy was the pregnant woman who'd been reported for illegal prostitution last night.I wanted to see how Cindy would explain herself.Under my machinations, Cindy quickly became infamous. She was still out on bail, so there was no escaping the fact that she had checked into a hotel room with another man. It didn't matter how she tried to spin the story; the truth was right there.With a little push from me, Cindy's situation spread online.Some might call me ruthless for doing all this to a pregnant woman, but she'd done the same thing to me in my last life.Cindy sobbed before the camera, unable to speak through her tears, but the reporters were merciless."Ms. Chase, did you check into a hotel with a man who wasn't your husband? The police say that you're under suspicion for illegal dealings. What kind of dealings would that be?""Ms. Chase, you're pregnant, aren't you?

With that, I turned and left, ignoring Cindy crying bitterly behind me. When I got home, I breathed a sigh of relief.But things weren't yet over. I uploaded all the evidence to multiple social media platforms. Thanks to her livestream, the matter was once again a trending topic. If Cindy managed to use her five minutes of fame to become a celebrity, I would not be able to deal with her.Therefore, I had to act quickly. I also tagged her in the evidence posts. "Here's my proof. Where's yours?"Back then, Shaun and I were only at the talking stage when he'd lost interest in me all of a sudden, turning his sights onto Cindy instead.I hadn't thought much of it back then. Besides, Cindy had apologized to me, so I decided to let it go.Being from another town, I had no friends here apart from Cindy, who had actively sought to befriend me. I thought having a friend like her wouldn't hurt. But it just proved how little I knew.Now that I've stepped forward, the comments poured in.
