Chapter 1

Staring at the two lines on the pregnancy test, I fell into deep thought. It had been almost ten years of this tumultuous relationship with Troy Walker.Now that we were having a baby, maybe it was time to finally accept my situation.Even if he was like a mad dog, I was the one holding the leash.Having made peace with this thought, I took a photo of the pregnancy test and sent it to Troy, who was away on a business trip.Soon after, I heard a loud commotion downstairs.Looking through the window, I saw my long-absent mother-in-law Lucy, marching up with a group of elderly women, all of them hurling insults as they approached."What a disgrace to our family!""Sisters, if she hadn't gone too far, would we ever air our family's dirty laundry like this?""Today, I don't care about my reputation - I'm going to tear that cheating witch apart!"I listened briefly before losing interest. Since our marriage, Lucy had always resented me for "stealing" her son. After constantly trying

Chapter 2

Troy's possessiveness was pathological. After marrying him, he had a tracking chip implanted in my body just so he could monitor my every move.I didn’t even have a chance to look at another man, yet here she was accusing me of cheating. It was laughable.I thought reminding her about the incident might make her back down.Instead, she slapped me again."Stop acting! With skills like these, you should be in Hollywood!""I wouldn't be here without solid proof."Lucy pulled out her phone and played a video.In it, a scantily-clad woman was passionately kissing a man. Then he pushed her down, and she let out suggestive sounds.The video was extremely explicit, but what shocked me most was that the woman's face was identical to mine.The elderly women with Lucy started chiming in: "Absolutely shameless. In the old days, adulterous women like her would've been drowned!""If she were my daughter-in-law, I'd beat her to death!""The world's gone to hell. She looks so innocent, but

Lucy stepped on my thigh and ground her heel in.I cried out in pain."You little witch, always playing the victim! I barely touched you, and you're screaming like that!"I glared at her coldly. "Lucy Patworth, you'll regret everything you're doing today.""Still defiant? I'll teach you how to be a proper daughter-in-law!"From the day I married Troy, Lucy had been desperate to "teach me my place." She'd even prepared a list of duties, including washing her feet and underwear daily.Apparently, Troy's grandmother had treated her the same way, so she was eager to continue the tradition with me.Women have always been cruel to other women.But she forgot that my husband had violence tendencies, and I hadn't married him by choice.Before that list even reached my hands, Troy had torn it to shreds and berated her.She never dared confront her son directly, so she'd been waiting to take her anger out on me.Today, she finally got her chance.Lucy had one of her friends fetch a b

For my baby's sake, I swallowed my pride and begged Lucy."Mom, please... this is your grandchild! Please spare him..."It was the first time I'd called her "Mom" since our marriage - and it was to beg for her own grandchild's life.Lucy sneered, "Don't you dare call me Mom, you adulteress! What did my son ever do wrong to make you cheat and get pregnant with other man's child?"I shook my head. "I never cheated. That video is fake - it's made with deepfake face swapping technology."Lucy spat in my face. "Save your lies! I've never heard of this 'face-swapping’ nonsense.""Besides, my daughter sent me this video. It has to be real!"I remembered how Troy had thrown his sister and her child out after they deliberately disturbed my nap.He'd cut all ties with them and even fired his brother-in-law from his company."Your daughter's just trying to get revenge. The video is fake-"Before I could finish, Lucy kicked me again. "You whore! First you cheat on my son, then you dare a

Chapter 5

Troy's hands trembled as he lifted me into his arms. "Audrey... what happened?"Before I could answer, Lucy thrust her phone at Troy. “Troy! Your wife has been sleeping around and got pregnant with another man's child. Look at the proof!"Troy held me tighter and turned to Lucy, his voice eerily calm. "You did this?"Seeing no anger from her son, Lucy thought he believed her.She quickly pressed on, "I did what any mother would do! You work so hard, while this ungrateful woman cheats on you. Of course I had to teach her a lesson!"Only I knew that beneath Troy's calm exterior lurked a murderous rage.But Lucy, oblivious to her son's state, tried to win more favor for her daughter."Your sister sent me this video. She was the one who discovered your wife's affair.""You should thank her properly - let her husband work at your company again. After all, we're family. We shouldn't let this shameless woman come between us."Troy looked down at me, barely containing the bloodlust in

Chapter 6

Just when I'd decided to compromise with Troy for our baby's sake, we lost the child. It felt like a sign from above that I shouldn't give in."No, Audrey, you're my wife," Troy held me tightly. "I told you I'd never let you go.""You also promised you'd never let anyone hurt me," I said flatly. "Yet the deepest wound I've ever received came from you."Troy froze. "This was an accident. I promise it won't happen again.""No one can make absolute promises."I looked up at him. "Troy, I saved your life when you were drowning. But you became obsessed with me after that. You deliberately ran over my boyfriend, then threatened my parents' lives to force me to marry you.""After marriage, your possessiveness became terrifying. You wouldn't let me speak to any men, even implanted a tracking chip in my body. Because of you, I have no friends, no family. I'm completely alone. These years have been exhausting."Troy gripped my shoulders, his voice desperate yet determined. "Audrey, I love

Chapter 7

From her voice, I finally recognized her as Anne - Troy's sister whom he'd thrown out.She was the one who sent Lucy that deepfaked video accusing me of cheating. True to form, Troy hadn't spared anyone who'd hurt me.Troy didn't spare them a glance, looking at me tenderly instead."Would you like to avenge our child yourself?"I looked at him questioningly. He motioned to a guard, who handed me a specially made rod."Their lives are yours to deal with as you see fit."I walked up to Lucy with the rod.Fear flashed in her eyes as she tried to appease me. "Audrey, I know you're kind-hearted, the best of people..."I struck her leg hard. "My kindness isn't wasted on people like you."Lucy screamed in pain, dropping to her knees to beg for mercy."I lost my head, thinking you were carrying another man's child. You can't blame someone who didn't know better. Please, forgive me just this once."I struck her again and again, screaming, "Didn't know? How many times did I tell you i

Chapter 8

Now they realized he hadn't changed - he'd just learned to hide his true nature because his wife disliked his violent side.With this realization, they turned to beg me. "Audrey, Lucy deceived us too.""She was crying and telling us how cruelly you treated her. We only helped because of our years of friendship.""I never touched you yesterday - I was just caught up in it. Please let me go.""Please be generous and forgive us ignorant old women!"They pleaded tearfully, looking pitiful. But I had begged them the same way yesterday, and not one had shown mercy. Today, I wouldn't show them any either.I swung the rod at them wildly, releasing all my hatred.I finally tired, standing there breathless.A warm hand covered mine, taking away the rod."If you've vented enough, let's go.""Don't let this trash pollute your eyes any longer."Outside the abandoned factory, I asked Troy, "What will you do with them?"Troy smiled faintly, his eyes still fixed on my face."What would yo
