Semua Bab My husband has a violent gene. Should I keep my unborn baby?: Bab 1 - Bab 8

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

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

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

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
