Lahat ng Kabanata ng I Was Caught Cheating On My Husband : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 16

VIVIAN"This is bullshit!" Claire screamed."This is justice," I said quietly. "You tried to steal my children. My company. My life. Now you lose everything."Watching Derek and Claire led away in handcuffs was the sweetest moment of my life.Better than my wedding day, than becoming CEO, than anything I'd ever experienced. Because I did this. I orchestrated their downfall from nothing.The police had been skeptical when I first approached them with my story and only DNA results as evidence.A cheating mother claiming her husband had switched embryos? It sounded insane.Until I tricked them with a fake alert to the hotel and made them watch the livestream of what was happening in Derek's room while hiding in the room opposite.One of the men criticized me, calling it illegal, but I didn't care. They decided to burst in once they started hitting each other.In less than an hour, the news of the interim CEO of Lancaster industries was everywhere. Questions were arising, all centering ar

Derek looked terrible. Gaunt, unshaven, wearing clothes that hung loose on his frame. Prison was destroying him already."Thank you," he whispered.I let him inside, my hand on my phone, ready to call 911 if needed.Derek walked to the cribs, staring at the sleeping twins with an expression I'd never seen before. Genuine grief."They're beautiful," he said softly."They are.""Lily has your nose.""She does."He turned to face me."Vivian, I know I don't deserve forgiveness. I know what I did was unforgivable. But I need you to know... I did love you. Once. In the beginning, before the plan consumed everything. You were the best thing that ever happened to me, and I destroyed it.""You destroyed us," I corrected. "Your greed destroyed us.""I know." Tears streaked down his face. "I know. And I'll pay for it for the rest of my life. But please... please let me hold them. Just once. Before I go to prison."Every instinct screamed that this was manipulation. That Derek Morrison didn't do

Derek's trial lasted three weeks.I attended every day, the twins with Elizabeth in the back of the courtroom. I wanted Derek to see them. To know what he'd lost.The prosecution presented our case methodically. The recorded confessions. The DNA evidence showing one twin was genetically mine, proving the clinic had made an error. The falsified IVF forms. The plan to have me locked up in a mental institution.Derek's lawyer tried every defense, even claimed Derek had genuinely loved me and had been manipulated by Claire and Patricia.None of it worked. The jury deliberated for four hours and Derek was found guilty on all counts.The judge sentenced him to thirteen years, with parole eligibility after eight."Mr. Morrison," the judge said, "you perpetrated one of the most egregious violations of bodily autonomy I've seen in my career. You treated your wife as an incubator, stole her genetic material, and planned to steal her children. The sentence reflects the severity of these crimes."
