Chapter 6

Author: Perfect Timing
From the comments, I started picking up on key details.

So, Everett had been racking up even more debt behind my back?

Good. That made things easier.

He still had no idea I had made it back safely. I checked into a hotel and spent a little money printing out some medical records saying I had stage-four cancer.

I stared at the diagnosis and couldn't help laughing under my breath, already picturing his reaction when he saw it.

I hid the documents away and arranged for a courier to deliver the

  • My Husband Wanted Me Dead   Chapter 11

    I went back to work.What I didn't expect was that the son of the warm, talkative woman I had saved turned out to be the client on one of our new projects.With that connection, everything moved smoothly.My life started picking up fast.On Everett's side, though, everything was falling apart.Some mutual friends heard about the divorce and couldn't wait to fill me in.Everett and Nancy never got their marriage certificate that day. The system at the office went down, so they had to leave empty-handed.But things had already gone too far. Nancy pushed for a wedding anyway.The problem was that Everett was still blacklisted. All his accounts were frozen. He couldn't come up with a single dollar for a wedding.Nancy ended up stuck, swallowing her anger.That wasn't even the worst of it.Tom started causing trouble, too.Apparently, he walked in on Everett and Nancy getting busy in the bedroom. After that, he secretly took Nancy's underwear and pleasured himself with it.When

    I pushed myself to my feet, my face pale."No. I won't agree to this… Everett, you wouldn't really be that heartless, would you?"Everett didn't say a word. I turned and grabbed Tom's hand instead. "Sweetheart, you're with me, right? You wouldn't leave your mom, would you?"He yanked his hand away, chin lifted as he said, "I'm going with Dad.""Just sign it already," Everett snapped. "We're done."I shook my head, looking down at the divorce papers. To get rid of me, he was taking the kid and leaving me with nothing."Don't… Don't do this to me…" I clutched my chest, acting like the pain was unbearable."This is your mess, Tina. No one's cleaning it up for you," Everett sneered.Without a hint of hesitation, he signed his name. Then he grabbed Tom and walked out.The door slammed shut.And just like that, the house went silent.A faint smile tugged at my lips. Those two idiots had no idea what was coming. Their hard days were just getting started.The second that name hit

    Everett and Tom didn't come back until evening.They walked in, laughing and chatting, as if nothing had happened.I quickly wiped my face, smoothed my expression, and sat on the couch, staring blankly ahead.The second Everett saw me, his face dropped. "Damn it! What are you doing, just sitting there? You scared the hell out of me."I forced a few tears out. "Everett… I feel really awful. They've been calling, asking me to pay them back. What am I going to do now?"His face turned cold. "How would I know?"Before he could finish, someone started pounding on the door. The noise was loud and aggressive.All three of us froze and exchanged a glance.Everett stormed over to open it. "Who the hell is it? Got no manners?"I bit back a smile and grabbed Tom, crying harder.He shoved my hand away in disgust. "Don't touch me!"Good.The colder he was, the easier this would be.The next second, Everett was shoved back inside by a group of burly men.They were big and rough-looking

    At some point, even pretending got exhausting. I let myself drift off for real.The comments blew up again.[This is hilarious! Tina's actually brilliant. Everett looked like he was about to pass out! But what happened to her? Why did she suddenly wake up like this?][Something's off with the story now. Everett's disgusting. The second he heard she had terminal cancer, he's already thinking about divorce and running off with the money.]Running off with the money?That snapped me awake.I forced myself to sit up, acting weak as I moved. Everett was off to the side, flipping through the bankbook.The moment he saw me awake, he coughed awkwardly."Y-You're up?"I pretended not to notice what he had been doing and grabbed onto him, my voice shaking."You have to save me, honey. The doctor said my treatment will cost 200 grand. A few days ago, I put all our savings into an investment, and now, I can't get it back…"I hadn't even finished before he exploded."Wh-what did you jus

    It didn't take long before Everett's mistress's information came through.I stared at it for a few seconds, stunned.It was Nancy Potter, Everett's ex-girlfriend.Back then, his parents never approved of her and forced them apart. Not long after that, he married me.All these years, I hadn't noticed a single thing.Which meant Nancy still thought Everett was the man he used to be, the one who hadn't gone broke. No wonder he lost it when the card got frozen last time.According to the report, Nancy was doing pretty well now. She now owned a fairly large restaurant.Once I understood all that, the next step became clear.A few days later, Everett brought our son back.The moment Tom saw me, the disgust on his face wasn't even hidden."Give me 600 bucks. I wanna buy a gaming console."I froze for a second. He didn't even call me "Mom" anymore."I don't have money right now. Maybe next month, okay?" I softened my voice.He shot me a glare. "Seriously? You don't even have 600 b

He actually took a step back."W-Weren't you supposed to be on the island?"I rushed forward, grabbed his leg, and burst into tears. "Everett! I finally made it back! I almost didn't! I missed you so much! Do you
