Chapter 8

ผู้เขียน: Chilly Rain
Murder and rape were crimes of different severity. This time, Martin could only stay in the cold detention center.

In just a few days, he had become much thinner and looked more haggard. He was very excited when he saw me. "Honey, are you alright?"

Then, his gaze fell on my flat abdomen, and he froze. "What happened to our child?"

"She's gone because of your precious lover." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

  • Letting Go of What Was Never Ours   Chapter 9

    The verdict for Martin had been decided—he was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment for soliciting for murder. During this time, he tried every possible way to contact me. He even sent me a letter written in blood, begging for my forgiveness. But I ignored him—I simply tore it up and threw it in the trash.In the end, he gave up and left me one last message: "Take care, Audrey. I love you."Everything was over. I booked a flight ticket to go abroad to clear my mind at Lunaris, Sylvoria. I rented a small cabin at the foot of Silverpeak. During the summer after my college graduation, I came here with Henry for a vacation. With the snow and the mountains as witnesses, he proposed to me. He knelt in the snow and looked at me with a serious expression."Drey, I love you. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"Without any hesitation, I agreed with a smile. "I do."After all, I had no other choice. I pulled him up from the snow, and he pulled me into

    "Henry, hang on there. The ambulance will be here soon. Damn it! Why won't the bleeding stop?" I cried."Don't cry, Drey. I'm right here. I'll be fine…" Henry comforted me."Henry, happy Valentine's Day. I brought you roses.""Happy Valentine's Day, Drey. I'm sorry… I feel a bit cold…"He had a high fever and had convulsions. The wound infections led to systemic reactions, multiple organ failure, and sepsis. Then, he died at 10:13 am.I could feel a warm liquid flowing out of me, and I knew this child was completely gone. It was better this way; she shouldn't have been brought to this world anyway. When I was hospitalized a week ago, the doctor told me she was a beautiful girl.I could still remember when I first found out I was pregnant; Martin was overjoyed, but I went to every prenatal check-up all by myself.When I felt the baby move for the first time, I excitedly called him. On the other end of the phone, there was loud music and cheerful women's laughter."What's wrong,

    Martin's mother, who was sitting beside me, was the first to lose her composure. "You lunatic! How dare you hurl such a baseless accusation?""I have evidence!" Tears streamed down Natalie's face as she raised a USB drive."All the evidence of Martin contacting my sister is here. My sister was a nurse in the hematology department at the hospital downtown."Mrs. Steinfeld's face was drained of color. She clutched her chest with a trembling hand and was on the verge of fainting. It seemed she believed it."Mr. Steinfeld looks so accomplished, yet he actually laid a hand on his brother.""Sigh, it's true that we can't judge a book by its cover.""Poor Henry! He was such a good kid.""Yes, he was so gentle and smart. But he passed at such a young age…"The table suddenly turned, and everyone started pointing fingers at Martin. Martin's expression twisted with rage as he roared, "Shut up, all of you!"He turned to me, his voice trembling. "Audrey, it's not like that. I didn't—Dad

    Finally, it was the day of the trial. My parents and I sat together while Martin's parents sat beside us. All four of them looked gloomy, and my mother looked particularly haggard.Martin's scandal had severely affected both families' businesses, causing a sharp decline in stock prices. Although I felt guilty, I couldn't afford to worry about it now.The trial began. Martin sat in the defendant's seat, looking calm without any signs of nervousness.His defense lawyer spoke first. "After investigation, we have sufficient evidence to prove that the rape accusation against Mr. Steinfeld is a carefully planned scheme."Ms. Roberts, as far as I know, you only joined Titan International a month ago. Besides, you purposely changed your shift last night. This raises suspicion that you were intentionally trying to get close to Mr. Steinfeld."The jury whispered among themselves and looked at the plaintiff, Natalie Roberts, with a hint of disdain. Such incidents were common in prominent fam

    Back then, the Barrack family sent Florence abroad to avoid trouble. But as soon as she returned, she learned that Martin and I had already gotten married. "Go ahead and hit me. If anything happens to me, do you think the Lynch family and the Steinfeld family will let you off?"She snorted, turned her head, and casually flipped her hair as though she couldn't care less. There was a sparkling earring in her left ear—an extremely high-purity blue topaz.At this moment, a guest walked over and greeted me. "Hello, Ms. Lynch. Where is Mr. Steinfeld?"Florence also realized that Martin had been gone for quite a while and frowned anxiously. "Yes, why hasn't he come back yet?"Just then, a scream came from the direction of the lounge, and everyone was startled. I quickly walked over and yanked the door open. Behind the door, the disheveled Martin was pinning the waitress beneath him and forcefully tearing her clothes.The waitress looked at me in despair, tears streaming down her face
