Semua Bab My Husband Died For His Sins: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My husband, Austin Revelstone, frowned when he saw me hand back the check. “Didn’t you say your mother is running out of time?“I’ve already taken care of things at the hospital. The moment the payment goes through, they can do the surgery right away.“Briar, don’t let a momentary grudge turn into a lifelong regret.”Bitterness rose in my heart.Ten days earlier, my mother’s condition had deteriorated sharply after Austin’s sugar baby, Tawny Sully, sent her suggestive photos of the two of them.She was already on her last legs. Austin’s money would not do her any good.He shoved the check back into my hand, grabbed the car keys, and headed out.“Babe, she already signed the abortion form.“Wait for me. I’m on my way. This time, I’m making our agreement last a lifetime.”Austin dropped his usual aloof and composed self. He sounded like a lovesick teenager. I suppressed the urge to call him back and bit my tongue.Before I could stop sobbing, Austin called again.“Hurry an

Austin was certain that I would never leave him. When I walked away with my suitcase, he did not stop me. Instead, he said, “It’s probably good for you to spend some time with your mom anyway.“Once I’m done handling things on my end, your mother should be feeling better by then.“I’ll come to the hospital myself and pick you both up.”“Hmm,” I responded briefly.I was not coming back anyway. Why say more than necessary?Just as I was about to leave the front door, Tawny blocked my path.“Stop right there! “I’m the lady of this house now. You can’t take a single thing from here.”I did not want to argue with her. I suppressed my anger and explained, “These are all my clothes. I haven’t taken anything that belongs to the Revelstone family.”She insisted on opening the suitcase for inspection. As we were tugging back and forth, the phone rang.“Hello, is this Ms. Shearing? Your mother suddenly became very agitated. Her condition is critical.“If you can’t get here within

Tawny had not expected me to secretly record the scene of her mocking me and play it in front of everyone.She had anticipated the wedding for so many days, but it had been completely ruined. Her carefully maintained image of an innocent and kind young woman was utterly shattered.Deep in her heart, she cursed me viciously. “Briar, you evil wench!“You’ve ruined everything for me. I hope you rot in hell!”But she forgot one thing. She had brought this upon herself.The guests all looked at her with strange expressions. They pointed at her and whispered among themselves.“So, this is the angel Austin was willing to dump his wife for. She’s turned out to be nothing more than a murderous snake.”“I’ve known it all along. A homewrecker could never be a decent person. I just didn’t think she’d be even more heartless than I imagined.”“Right. She stole another woman’s husband, then killed the child and the mother. How ruthless can you be to do something like that?”Tawny’s face turn

Austin remained in his study at home. He sat there quietly without eating or drinking.In his hand was a photo album that contained the proof of twenty years of love between him and me.The first photo in the album showed a little girl with braids. She was feeding a beggar dressed in rags.“Mom, look! There’s a beggar kid passed out over here!”He remembered the first time we met. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.Twenty years ago, my mother and I went on an outing in the countryside when we found him as a little boy passed out from hunger by a ditch.He was ten years old that year. His mother had fallen into a creek while gathering herbs to sell so she could pay for his school fees. She never came back.He became a homeless child with nowhere to go. He survived on moldy bread he begged for each day.After he met my mother and me, he had a home again.The second photo was a high school graduation picture.He and I wore blue and white graduation gowns as we

Austin raised his hand slightly. Five Tibetan mastiffs that had been starved for three days were also driven into the cage.The next second, Tawny’s heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire mountain hollow.She looked at the man who had once spoiled her to the heavens. He had pushed her into the abyss for the woman he had abandoned.She cried and then laughed in exasperation.She asked Austin, “Do you think doing all this would earn her forgiveness?“Too bad. She’ll never forgive you.”She looked into his ruthless gaze and said deliberately, “Because you are nothing but a total piece of garbage.”Tawny once thought that defeating Briar meant Austin would spoil her forever. She finally realized that the man before her was a classic jerk. He only ever valued what he could not have. She only hated figuring it out too late. At the same time, she felt a new respect and envy for the woman who got out in time.After dealing with Tawny, Austin went to the cemetery.Aft
