The Widow Book Reviews Novels & Stories

With tears welling up in his eyes, my son, Luke, said, "Can I spend my final birthday with Mommy before we leave? It's my fifth birthday. Mommy promised she'll celebrate with me." My heart broke into a million pieces listening to his plea. "Alright, we'll spend your fifth birthday with Aunt Stella, then we'll go." After tucking Luke into bed, I opened the drawers and took out Sarah Grant's death certificate. This year was our sixth year of marriage. I never expected it to end with me becoming a so-called widower. I did not even have to sign any divorce papers.

“That’s why I’m calling now.” The Priestess from Seoul, Eun-Ji, a quiet woman with eyes like broken glass, tilted her head. “You want us to assist with a resurrection reversal? Or a soul split repair?” “Neither,” Olivia said. “I want to bind the Widow permanently.” Several priestesses inhaled sharply. Zara’s expression didn’t move.

Then, in her moment of defeat, a title caught her eye. “The Widow’s Bane.” She’d read the phrase again and again, her heart racing. Back then, she thought her mother was making things up, but now, hearing it again, Piper wasn't so sure.

The Widow’s Bane isn’t an actual thing.” “Oh, it’s real,” said the second one, his tone sly and confident. “You’ll see soon enough.”

"She acts the grieving widow, but she's been trying to trap me, just because I look like my brother. It's pathetic, really." Hearing the title "Commander," my mother-in-law threw herself to the floor with a fresh wail. "You have to see the truth, Commander! My poor son provided for her, and what did she give him? Just a girl! Now she wants to rob us blind! She's a leech on this family!" Catherine peeked at the commander, then buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking with delicate sobs.

The front page showed a woman in black gloves, standing on a cargo ship, her profile sharp as a blade. The bold text read: The Widow Returns: Mysterious Arms Dealer Declares War on the Underworld. I stood up, a jolt of excitement running through me. It was the figure that haunted my dreams night after night. Mom was alive. She was really back!

She studies my face, then looks past me, toward the open door at the end of the hall. “She was already broken when they came,” the widow says. “But they made sure the cracks went where they wanted.” I swallow. “Why keep the room like this?” She shrugs. “So I wouldn’t forget what they did.” “And the note?” I ask. Her mouth tightens. “She wrote that after.” “After what?” The widow meets my eyes. “After she understood why they were interested in her at all.” My chest tightens. “Which was?” I press.

Other photos included Sandi being helped up by someone while about to faint, and of me putting together financial documents in the study. Those photos had been edited and put together, making it look like I was forcing a helpless widow into a corner. The post ignited a heated discussion in the comments. "My gosh! How hard-hearted can this woman be? That widow has already lost her husband, and this woman is still making the widow's life so hard."
