Killed in Our Home, Reborn to Change Fate Chapter 9
"Defendant Patricia Wilkinson, guilty of withholding information, conspiracy, and harboring a criminal. Sentenced to 20 years in prison."Patricia let out a wail of despair. She was already 60 years old. 20 years meant she would die behind bars.When the sentencing concluded, the bailiffs dragged them out of the courtroom. As they passed me, Gabriel suddenly raised his head. Tears streamed from his bloodshot eyes."Evie, I'm sorry… I regret everything.""Regret won't help you now," I said flatly. "Spend the rest of your life atoning for what you've done."I walked out of the courthouse into brilliant sunshine and a gentle breeze. Reporters swarmed around me, cameras flashing nonstop."Ms. Summers, do you have anything you'd like to say?"I stopped. "Justice always finds a way."Once the dust had settled, I began cleaning up the mess Gabriel had left behind. I dissolved his shell companies one by one. The assets he'd tried to hide were recovered through legal channels and return

Gabriel tried to reach for my pant leg. I stepped back, avoiding his grasp."Gabriel, I could've trained a dog in three years, and at least it would've been loyal. You're not even worth that."Jasmine suddenly shrieked, "It was him! He made me do everything!"She pointed frantically at Gabriel."He said if you died, he'd marry me! He even gave me 200 grand! I'm innocent! I was just following his orders!"The police ignored her hysterics and dragged all three of them toward the exit. Camera flashes lit up once more, capturing their pathetic exit.I stood under the spotlights and watched their backs disappear through the door.With ironclad evidence and the case's massive public impact, the police formed a special task force to investigate thoroughly. In the interrogation rooms, those three former allies turned on each other viciously, each desperate to save themselves.Gabriel tried to reduce his sentence by pinning all the planning on Jasmine and Patricia. He claimed Jasmine wa

The video continued playing.Jasmine lit a cigarette and flicked it toward the gas leak. Though there was no explosion in the footage, everyone in the room could imagine the horror that followed.The video ended. I turned off the screen and looked coldly at the crowd below."This is the accident you've all been talking about. This is the insurance fraud you were so quick to believe."The room erupted. Camera flashes went wild, shutters clicking in a continuous roar. The victims' family members finally snapped out of their shock."You killed my family!" A middle-aged man charged at Jasmine like a madman and kicked her in the face. "Murderer! Give me back my brother!"The scene descended into chaos. Family members surged forward, raining punches and kicks on Jasmine and Patricia. Blood streamed down Jasmine's face as she screamed.Gabriel saw how badly things were turning and tried to slip away in the confusion. Like hell I was going to let him escape.I grabbed the microphone an

Gabriel spoke into the microphone, his voice breaking. "This tragedy happened on my watch. As her fiance, I share the blame."Evelyn acted recklessly and modified the gas lines without permission, and I failed to stop her. I'm guilty too. To show my remorse, I've decided to liquidate all our assets to compensate the victims' family."Applause erupted from the crowd. Someone shouted, "Now that's a stand-up guy!"Then Jasmine took the microphone. Her eyes were red and swollen, the picture of tragic sympathy."I'm Evelyn's neighbor and her friend. The truth is, Evelyn told me she planned to commit insurance fraud."The room exploded in gasps and murmurs.Jasmine dabbed at her tears and continued weaving her lies. "She said her company was running out of money and she wanted to blow up the house for the insurance payout. I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen. I never imagined she'd actually get anyone killed."Camera flashes went wild."Insurance fraud! She's a mon

Gabriel stared at me, unnerved, but quickly regained his composure. "Are you in shock or something?"He reached out to touch my forehead, but I slapped his hand away."Don't touch me."I walked into the bedroom and locked the door behind me. Gabriel pounded on it, shouting curses, but I ignored him.That night, I slept in my regular clothes with a pair of scissors tucked under my pillow.Early the next morning, Gabriel left the apartment. I knew he was going to placate Jasmine and tie up loose ends.Once I was certain he was gone, I quickly contacted my trusted assistant, Marcus Jones."I need you to buy a wireless receiver for hidden cameras. Get the best one available."Marcus had worked for me for five years and never asked unnecessary questions. He simply replied, "Yes, Ms. Summers."Half an hour later, we met in a mall restroom. I took the receiver and locked myself in a stall, my fingers flying over the controls.During the renovation in my past life, I'd been paranoid

"Evie, drink some chamomile tea. It'll help calm your nerves," Gabriel said, walking over with a cup of tea, his face full of concern and sympathy. I took the cup, deliberately letting my hand shake so a few drops spilled. "My hands are shaking too much. I can barely hold a pen," I said and pushed the document away. "Let me rest for a bit. I'll sign after I finish this."Gabriel nodded eagerly. "No rush. Drink first."He stood beside me and watched as I brought the cup to my lips. Using the motion of tucking my hair behind my ear as cover, I quickly poured most of the tea into the large potted plant next to the couch. Then I made a show of wiping my mouth and set the empty cup back on the table."I'm so tired."I pressed my hand to my forehead and slumped against the couch. Within a minute, my breathing slowed and evened out.Gabriel shook my shoulder. "Evie? Hon?"I didn't move.Once he confirmed I was out, the concern melted off his face, replaced by something twisted and
