My Husband Died For His Sins
Penulis: Tyrant’s Flower

Chapter 1

Penulis: Tyrant’s Flower
My husband, Austin Revelstone, frowned when he saw me hand back the check.

“Didn’t you say your mother is running out of time?

“I’ve already taken care of things at the hospital. The moment the payment goes through, they can do the surgery right away.

“Briar, don’t let a momentary grudge turn into a lifelong regret.”

Bitterness rose in my heart.

Ten days earlier, my mother’s condition had deteriorated sharply after Austin’s sugar baby, Tawny Sully, sent her suggestive photos of the two of them.

She was already on her last legs. Austin’s money would not do her any good.

He shoved the check back into my hand, grabbed the car keys, and headed out.

“Babe, she already signed the abortion form.

“Wait for me. I’m on my way. This time, I’m making our agreement last a lifetime.”

Austin dropped his usual aloof and composed self. He sounded like a lovesick teenager.

I suppressed the urge to call him back and bit my tongue.

Before I could stop sobbing, Austin called again.

“Hurry and get the baby aborted now! Tawny is getting impatient.

“Make sure you film the whole process and send it to me.”

The urgency in his voice sounded just like the panic and helplessness he had shown back when I had a miscarriage. He had held me in his arms and screamed for a doctor in the hospital hallway.

I looked up, pushed the bitterness aside, and nodded to the doctor who had been ready and waiting.

“We may begin now.”

Cold instruments churned wildly inside my belly. They finally pulled out a bloody, fully formed fetus.

What they pulled out of me along with it was the twenty years of devoted love Austin and I had built.

Twenty years ago, my mother took in a homeless boy. He turned out to be the heir of the Revelstone family.

His promise to spend his whole life being good to me, no matter what, had long been broken. It happened each time he signed another agreement with Tawny.

I forced my weak body up and stopped the doctor who was about to leave with the dead fetus for his report.

“Let me see my baby.”

The doctor opened a gap in the black plastic bag. Inside lay a tiny, fully formed baby with eyes closed and lying still.

The delicate little facial features looked exactly like my childhood photo that was treasured inside the safe in Austin’s study.

I recalled what Austin said before.

“Briar, wouldn’t it be great if our kid turned out looking like you someday?”

He had personally destroyed the very child that he wanted.

After the surgery, I had not completely recovered from the anesthesia.

I was still in a daze when I saw Austin sitting by my hospital bed, holding my hand.

He said through his tears, “Briar, you’ve been through so much.

“Once you’ve recovered, we can try for another baby.”

    In the days that followed, I traveled between the base and the quarters every day as I usually did.Austin still followed behind me daily. At first, he tried to get close to me and even tried to speak with me.He said, “Briar, I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I’m just asking you to give me a chance to make things right.”He told me he had resigned from his position as CEO of the Revelstone Group. So, wherever I went, he would go.“Back then, I climbed to that position so that you and your mother could have a good life.“Now that I’ve lost you both, what use do I have for all that power and status?”Austin spoke like he was making some big, noble sacrifice. He acted as if he were a reformed bad boy coming to his senses.His words only made me despise him even more.“Whether you admit it or not, everything you do is for yourself. That includes trying to win me back and acting sorry.“Tawny was right. You really are a piece of trash. You’re a complete, selfish opportunist, th

    Austin raised his hand slightly. Five Tibetan mastiffs that had been starved for three days were also driven into the cage.The next second, Tawny’s heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire mountain hollow.She looked at the man who had once spoiled her to the heavens. He had pushed her into the abyss for the woman he had abandoned.She cried and then laughed in exasperation.She asked Austin, “Do you think doing all this would earn her forgiveness?“Too bad. She’ll never forgive you.”She looked into his ruthless gaze and said deliberately, “Because you are nothing but a total piece of garbage.”Tawny once thought that defeating Briar meant Austin would spoil her forever. She finally realized that the man before her was a classic jerk. He only ever valued what he could not have. She only hated figuring it out too late. At the same time, she felt a new respect and envy for the woman who got out in time.After dealing with Tawny, Austin went to the cemetery.Aft

    The photo album fell to the floor. Austin immediately stood up and took the address from his assistant’s hand.Solstitia.It was a foreign landmass over six thousand miles away from him.“Why would she go there? She’s the one who hates the cold the most,” he murmured to himself.One year, Austin and I had gone hiking in the snowy mountains. We accidentally got separated from our guide. The two of us were trapped in the freezing snow.To keep us alive back then, I forced him to wear my cold-weather gear.I had told him, “If only one of us can make it out alive, it has to be you.”Through tears, I had told him, “Austin, I can’t imagine how I’d go on living without you.“So please forgive me for being selfish.”Did he not feel the same way? We had become two halves of one whole. One could not go on without the other.In the end, we were both rescued. Because I had been exposed to the cold for too long, my legs were frostbitten.Even to this date, I still feel sharp pains duri

    Austin remained in his study at home. He sat there quietly without eating or drinking.In his hand was a photo album that contained the proof of twenty years of love between him and me.The first photo in the album showed a little girl with braids. She was feeding a beggar dressed in rags.“Mom, look! There’s a beggar kid passed out over here!”He remembered the first time we met. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.Twenty years ago, my mother and I went on an outing in the countryside when we found him as a little boy passed out from hunger by a ditch.He was ten years old that year. His mother had fallen into a creek while gathering herbs to sell so she could pay for his school fees. She never came back.He became a homeless child with nowhere to go. He survived on moldy bread he begged for each day.After he met my mother and me, he had a home again.The second photo was a high school graduation picture.He and I wore blue and white graduation gowns as we

    When Austin saw the agreement I had signed for the overseas research program, along with the security footage of me boarding the plane and taking off, he could no longer hold himself up. He staggered and collapsed to the floor.He muttered to himself, “No. Briar wouldn’t leave me. She promised we’d never abandon each other.”He remembered the vows we had made at our wedding.“For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love you and cherish you until death do us part.”Both of us were perfectly healthy, yet I did not want him anymore. I had left him behind all alone.He knelt on the floor and cried bitterly, “Briar, I was wrong.“I’ve let you down. I’m sorry. This is all my fault.”He thought about how, ever since he met Tawny, he had been acting like he was not himself. He had completely thrown away twenty years of shared love and devotion. Worse than that, he had used my mother’s condition as leverage to force me into sharing him with another woman.He tried

  • My Husband Died For His Sins   Chapter 5

    Tawny had not expected me to secretly record the scene of her mocking me and play it in front of everyone.She had anticipated the wedding for so many days, but it had been completely ruined. Her carefully maintained image of an innocent and kind young woman was utterly shattered.Deep in her heart, she cursed me viciously. “Briar, you evil wench!“You’ve ruined everything for me. I hope you rot in hell!”But she forgot one thing. She had brought this upon herself.The guests all looked at her with strange expressions. They pointed at her and whispered among themselves.“So, this is the angel Austin was willing to dump his wife for. She’s turned out to be nothing more than a murderous snake.”“I’ve known it all along. A homewrecker could never be a decent person. I just didn’t think she’d be even more heartless than I imagined.”“Right. She stole another woman’s husband, then killed the child and the mother. How ruthless can you be to do something like that?”Tawny’s face turn
