Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Ex-Wife Judges Me for Murder: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The moment the words were spoken, the entire courtroom erupted in an uproar. Enya Taylor's face instantly turned deathly pale. Her legs gave way, and she nearly slipped off her seat.The presiding judge slammed his gavel down. "Court is adjourned! This case is being transferred to the police department for further investigation!"The bailiffs rushed forward and pinned me down.As they escorted me out of the courtroom, camera flashes exploded from every direction. The victims' families wailed in grief, filling the courtroom with their desperate cries. Rotten eggs and chunks of gravel hurtled over the security barriers, striking my head and body in a vicious hail.A sharp edge sliced open my temple, and warm blood trickled down my face. But my eyes remained locked on my ex-wife, Enya.As I watched the look of utter despair on her face, as if her very soul had been ripped from her chest, I finally let out a satisfied laugh.They took me back to the detention center.Inside th

Not long after Enya and I got married, I started noticing that she was smiling at her phone more and more often.Whenever she was with me, she'd instinctively place it face down. And whenever she stayed late at work and came home, I could always catch a faint trace of an unfamiliar man's cologne on her clothes.When I confronted her, she just sighed with irritation. "I was smiling because someone sent something funny in the group chat. The phone thing is just a habit I picked up at work. And the cologne? If a client decides to wear it, should I ask him to change his cologne for my husband's sake?"Still, I couldn't shake my suspicions.I turned to Ryan for advice.He leaned in and whispered, "If you notice something suspicious next time, don't confront her immediately. Find out the truth first. Don't give her any opportunity to talk her way out of it."As fate would have it, the opportunity came much sooner than I expected.Enya left on an unplanned business trip.In one of t

From that point forward, I stopped living as Eric Beckett. After everything I had endured, I chose to become Ezra, the man who would make them pay.Oscar lunged forward and seized me by the collar. "Where's Ryan's body, Eric? We already have enough evidence against you. Stop playing games."A faint smile crossed my face. "I have no idea where Ryan's body is. I only know where the living Ryan is."Everyone in the room froze. "Ryan's alive?"Tears streamed down Enya's face as she dropped to her knees. "Thank God..."But Oscar wasn't buying it. "Are you trying to drag this out? Our investigation shows that Ryan had no connection to the other five victims. You still haven't told us why you killed them."I held up my shackled hands. "I'm a dead man walking. I've got nothing to lose. It's Ryan who's running out of time."Oscar instantly tensed. It had already been five full days since my arrest. If Ryan had truly been imprisoned without food or water for all that time, h

As the accused, Ezra Beckett, I submitted the following statement."My father passed away in a car accident six years ago. The collision took place on a road that was still under construction, and there were no surveillance cameras in the area. "Based on statements from eyewitnesses, dashcam footage from the dealership that had serviced the other vehicle, and the traffic police's reconstruction using skid marks from the scene, the investigation concluded that my father was solely responsible."The driver of the other vehicle was Ryan. My mother signed a settlement agreement. Later that same year, she died of a stroke. My ex-wife, Enya, arranged both their funerals."Everyone involved concealed the truth from me, insisting I wouldn't be able to bear it. I lived through it all without knowing, becoming an orphan without ever understanding why. Every single day, I looked forward to the birth of the child my wife was carrying, never once suspecting that it was fathered by the man who

As Ryan thrashed against his restraints, I kicked the chair over, and he hit the ground in the same position he had been in when I first laid eyes on him."Ryan, the day you ran over my father was your birthday. Did you know that even if you hadn't asked him to meet you that day, he would have come looking for you three days later on the exact date you first came to my house? That day, to my father, was the start of your new life."When you received that overseas job offer, I was even happier than you were. I told my parents before you could. That day, you asked my father whether he wanted a capable son who couldn't stay by his side, or a mediocre one who would always be there for him. My father said, 'As long as Eric is happy, that's all I care about.'"Too bad he never got to finish his sentence. Back then, he wanted to send me abroad. I gave up that opportunity and stayed in the country because of you. I would never have another chance like that in my life, but he never blamed me
