My Reborn Husband Didn't Save His Mom

...

Billy Stone glared at me like I was the worst kind of criminal.

"You killed Alicia and left her in pieces. I'll make you feel her pain," he spat, rolling up the car window.

Beasts tore into me, ripping out my insides. I died in agony.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day his mom got kidnapped.

"Isabel, what do we do? We have to save Mom!" sobbed my sister-in-law, Emily Stone. "Where is Billy? Where did he go?"

She cried out, "Is anyone home? Come!"

Sadly, there was no answer.

Feeling bad, I told her the truth. "Everyone is at Alicia's dog's birthday party."

Even the house staff got dragged into making a fancy meal for that dog.

"What? Billy took everyone and ignored our calls for a dog?" Emily gasped.

But with time running out, she didn't dwell on it. "You can drive. Please get Billy back. I'll stay here in case the kidnappers call."

Her tears broke my heart. I sighed, "I can go look for him, but even if I go, he probably won't come back with me."

Billy and I were in an arranged marriage, and Emily knew we never got along. Lately, we had fought constantly over Alicia. Everyone saw it.

He was with Alicia now. If I showed up, it'd only make things messier.

"I'll go. You stay at home," she said, understanding my hesitation.

She rushed out to catch a cab. Half an hour later, she called, crying harder.

"What do we do?" She panicked, her voice trembling with frustration. "They won't listen to me, thinking I'm lying. Billy says we're teaming up to trick them. I got on my knees and begged him, but he didn't believe me."

The elders arrived, furious about the situation.

"Billy is out of line, ignoring his mom for a mistress!"

"Alicia acts all sweet and docile, but she won't let him come back."

"What do we do?" someone said anxiously, "We can't watch Teresa die!"
