Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Husband Fell for His Brother’s Widow: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Perhaps it was my cold laugh that finally set Calvin off. In a burst of anger, he slammed the glass to the floor.“Can’t you be more forgiving? I fell for you because you were kindhearted. How did you turn into someone so small-minded? I’m only helping my sister-in-law. What are you imagining in that head of yours?”“Calvin, any brother-in-law who goes this far would make people suspicious.”His body stiffened, and he glared at me with rage. “Not everyone’s mind is as filthy as yours!”I had nothing left to say. I turned back to the bedroom and pulled out the suitcase I had already packed.He blocked the doorway. There was finally a hint of panic flashing across his eyes.“Yvette, I was wrong. Please, don’t go…“I know I messed up, but I’ll change. From now on, I’ll do whatever you want… okay, honey?”For the first time, Calvin was truly desperate. He clung to my waist, buried his face in my shoulder. His voice trembled on the edge of tears.“I promised your mother I’d take go

When I was having dinner, I suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom to retch. Lexi put on a show of concern, but I caught a flicker of calculation in her eyes that made my skin crawl.A few days later, at noon, Lexi appeared holding the painting of the Cat Beneath the Blossoms, smiling at me.She stood on the second floor, looking down from above.“I heard that this painting is really important to you. I wonder if I were to ask Calvin, do you think he would give it to me?”My heart tightened. Of course he would. As long as it was Lexi who asked, he would give it to her.Just like the bags I wanted and the jewelry I liked. They always ended up in her hands.“If you want this painting, come upstairs with me.”I had no idea how Lexi got hold of it. I had been searching for days, even secretly asking Calvin’s assistant if he knew where it was.I followed her up to the rooftop.“Give it back to me.”Her gaze turned venomous. “Jump off from here. Do that, and I will give

Sure enough, Lexi burst into tears, wailing that she would never remarry and would devote her whole life to raising her child.She cried so hard it sounded like her heart was being torn apart. It was as though she might faint at any second.Their noise grated on me, so Calvin took them away.I took the opportunity to check out of the hospital. I went home, packed my things, and grabbed my painting. With one hand pulling my suitcase and the other cradling my cat, I was about to leave when Calvin came rushing back, out of breath.The sight of me like that sent him into a panic. Stammering, he poured out his apologies.“Yvette, I do not want a divorce. Believe me, you are the only one I love. Please, do not leave. Just give me one last chance. All I need is one month to prove myself.”He snatched my suitcase, opened it, and, ignoring my protests, shoved my clothes back into their places.When everything was put away, he seemed oddly relieved, standing before me as he carefully star

The more I thought about it, the more foolish my past self-seemed. Anger devoured my reason, and I could not take it anymore. I slapped Calvin three times in a row.I put all my strength into it. Each blow landed sharp and hard, twisting his face to the side.“Is that enough? Or do you want a few more?”I did not answer. I turned to leave.He gripped my wrist so tightly I could not pull away.“Lily’s surgery failed, someone died. Yvonne’s project is pulling in investors. And your father’s stolen paintings…”He stopped and met my gaze.It was a threat. I had no family left, only my two closest friends and those paintings full of memories.I thought of the message Lily had sent me moments ago. After a pause, I replied, “Fine. But I hope you can keep the promises you made me.”Calvin nodded eagerly.I secretly let out a snort. He would not be able to, and neither would Lexi.For the next stretch of time, Calvin acted like he had set himself a mission. He woke early to make brea

I had secretly set up a camera in the kitchen, capturing Benjamin putting the medicine into my milk. However, I did not confront him directly. Instead, I pretended to catch him in the act when he tried again and confronted him.Benjamin was terrified. He cried and called Lexi. Soon, she arrived, claiming she was taking him away. I chased after them, determined to get to the bottom of what had happened.Calvin was not home. Facing me alone, Lexi dropped all pretenses, crossing her arms and put on an arrogant look.“You are saying my son drugged you? Do you even have proof? Accusing a child? You are truly cruel!”“I may not have proof, but Lexi, can you look at yourself in the mirror? Did you have the child slip miscarriage medicine into my milk? No wonder I miscarried so easily last time. It was clearly your scheme!”I could not hold back my tears anymore, shouting that I would fight her. Suddenly, Benjamin ran into me, hitting my stomach. I instinctively clutched my belly and fell
