My Husband's Affair Killed Our Son

My husband took our six-year-old son to meet his first love, using him as a cover. At some point, he sent our son to buy burn cream. My sweet boy then encountered a lunatic who stabbed him to death.The pain in my heart was unbearable. When I saw the burn cream still in my son's hand, I broke down in tears.Then my husband called. Instead of any concern or remorse, he yelled at me, "Look at the son you've raised, Shayla Joy! He burned Claire and didn't even apologize. Get him back here right now!"…When my son, Aiden Chappell, died in my arms, he was still clutching the tube of medicine. I sobbed uncontrollably as blood spilled from his mouth and he struggled to speak. At that moment, I dropped to my knees, begging the heavens to take my life instead of his.My plea wasn't heard. They took Aiden away from me, and my world fell apart. I passed out from the grief. When I woke up, I was alone. Logan Chappell, my husband, called. He still didn't know what had happened to Aiden."Log

This whole situation was laughable. Aiden was already gone. If Logan had cared even a little, he would have found the death certificate in the drawer by the coffee table. All he had to do was pull it open, but of course, he didn't.I looked at him, a hint of mockery in my eyes. "Do you even care about your son?""What kind of question is that? If it weren't for him, Claire wouldn't have been burned," Logan retorted."Stop blaming Aiden for that! I don't want to hear another word from you, and I definitely don't want anything more to do with you. We're getting a divorce," I declared as I pulled out the divorce papers.Logan immediately exploded with anger. "How many times do I have to say it?! There's nothing going on between me and Claire! We're just friends!""Just friends? She caused Aiden's death! She's my enemy!" I cried."You're impossible." He pulled out his phone and shoved it in my face. "Look for yourself. Aiden did burn her."On the surveillance footage, I saw Aiden ca

"We're not getting divorced. Just give up on that. If Aiden's spirit is watching over us, he wouldn't want to see us separate. We'll have more children," Logan said.I slapped him as I shouted, "You're a monster! Get out!"I kicked and shoved him out of the house, rage boiling inside me. How could he say something so revolting? Without hesitation, I had my lawyer file the papers. Until the divorce was finalized, I wouldn't let Logan have a single moment of peace.Right after Logan left, Claire asked me to meet. When I reached the cafe, she sat across from me with her hand resting on her stomach, a smug smile on her face."I suggest you stop clinging to him," she said. "I saw the messages you sent him last night. Shayla, it's pathetic how miserable your life has become. Your son is dead. If I were you, I wouldn't want to live anymore." She then added with a smirk, "You're not getting any younger. Just walk away with some dignity. Logan and I are going to have children together."I

After I took a substantial portion of Logan's assets, all of his long-time clients received a text message. It warned them about how ruthless Logan was, pointing out that he even harmed his son, so they needed to be cautious in future dealings with him.Logan hadn't anticipated the fallout would be this severe. In this industry, having a mistress wasn't unusual. Everyone had their flings and brought their affairs along to social events. He couldn't understand why it turned out to be such a big sin when it came to him.He just couldn't understand it, but I found it amusing. Yes, everyone played the field, but very few like him would go so far as to sacrifice their child just to be with their first love. Such cold-heartedness and disregard for everything around him were major taboos and looked down upon in the corporate world. Many of the top brass in this industry built their companies from the ground up. They kept their families intact no matter what happened outside. Logan was the f

As soon as I stepped out of the building, I saw Claire.When she caught sight of me, looking all glamorous, her expression turned to one of disbelief. She rushed over to me. "What're you doing here? Are you… Are you here to bail him out?"Claire was clutching her stomach, her face pale from her injuries, and had come in a wheelchair. I couldn't help but be shocked. It hadn't been long since I last saw her, and the once soft girl who used to lean into Logan's embrace now looked so battered. I hadn't expected this transformation.Then again, people like her didn't deserve a good life. The worse off she was, the happier I felt.I smiled at Claire. "I'm so sorry. After all your efforts to climb to this position, I didn't expect it all to come crashing down.""Logan stabbed me! I'm going to make him pay!" Claire shouted.I shook my head. "Making him pay won't be possible now. The company is mine, and Logan has nothing left but his life, which he will spend in prison." I pointed at her
