Half a year after our divorce, my ex-husband became a trending topic online. His current wife, who had just given birth, jumped off a building. When she jumped, she was clutching a printed, 98-page copy of the "Cloves Family Code of Conduct." The reason for her suicide? She couldn’t buy discounted groceries online. A reporter came to interview me and asked, "Excuse me, were you also given the same family rules?"

98 Pages of My Former Mother-in-law's House Rules Chapter 0008
I had asked Jaden this question before: had he ever been curious about why I insisted we be DINKs?He found my question annoying.That was why I took the medical report with me when I moved.Jaden was infertile. He could not impregnate any woman.This was during the time we were preparing happily for our wedding together. I was the one who collected our reports after we conducted a medical checkup. The old doctor who gave me the report was afraid I would be sad. "It's not entirely impossible. Once medical technology advances…""It's okay, doctor." I clenched the thin piece of paper and forced a smile. "We're DINKs."After I got home, I made up a reason to convince Jaden."Jaden, I'm kind of scared about giving birth. How about living a DINK life?"Jaden was a kind and honest man who loved me back then. He sighed gently and tousled my hair."My Nadine is my biggest baby. If you don't want a child, let's not have any."That night, he tossed and turned in bed. I could hear the b

Someone picked up the papers. The first page had huge words plastered on it. No one knew what font was used, but the words looked crooked and savage, as if they could swallow a person at any time."Cloves Family Rules."Half an hour later, Dina's post—she had scheduled them before she jumped—became the trending topic online. She had scanned all 98 pages of the "Cloves Family Rules" and posted them on her social media.The contents were shocking."As a woman of the Cloves family, you will need to adhere strictly to the rules below.""1. Kitchen Rules.""The kitchen does not belong to the man, and all male members of the Cloves are not allowed inside. A daughter-in-law of the Cloves should be independently in charge of all meals.""Nutrition is very important. When three of us are having a meal together, you must have six dishes and one soup.""If you're unable to fulfill the above, you're not allowed to eat with us at the same table."..."2. Outing Rules.""The Cloves emph

I did not want the house. My former mother-in-law paid me back the deposit from her savings, and Jaden promised to pay me back the rest in installments.My former mother-in-law welcomed Dina into the house like a VIP. Dina still looked the same as when I first met her. She had no makeup on and seemed to cower when she saw me."Na… Nadine…"I nodded and left with my luggage. After taking a few steps, something told me to look back at Dina. My eyes met hers. She was smiling brightly behind me. I could tell from her eyes that she was laughing at me, proud that she had emerged as the winner in this situation.When she saw me turn back to look at her, Dina got flustered for a few seconds and quickly turned back to her obedient girl persona. I actually preferred the real her, who seemed more domineering. After all, it matched whatever she had just done to me.I stood outside the garage with luggage in my hands as I waited for the moving truck to arrive."Is that you, Nadine?"It was a

I suddenly wanted to laugh. "Jaden Cloves, do you have any idea why I insisted on living the DINK life?"He looked befuddled and frowned at me. "Can we keep to the main point, Nadine? Stop dragging in the past."Fine. I hoped when he found out the truth, he wouldn't blame me for keeping silent about it later."I can choose not to blow this up by calling the police. However, I need to know the truth, Jaden."Jaden told me it was true that my mother-in-law was sick. It was also true that she really wanted a grandchild. When she found out she was about to die, she suddenly realized that there was no meaning in her son and daughter-in-law making a lot of money. Life would be better with a crying, noisy child she could tease in her arms.My mother-in-law wanted to see her grandchild. She wanted to be surrounded by grandchildren and spend time with them."How many years would be left for my mom even if she gets treated? She wants a grandchild."Jaden had previously mentioned having ch

When I got home, I took an old cell phone out of the drawer next to my bed. Jaden and my mother-in-law had no idea. That night, I proceeded with the second part of my plan. I hid the cell phone between the offerings of cake and fruits on the shrine and turned on the video recording.While they weren’t looking, I quietly took the phone back. However, I didn’t watch the recording right away. I fully believed what Jaden and my mother-in-law had told me.This time, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and turned on the phone.Most of the beginning of the recording was filled with meaningless conversations until Jaden appeared on-screen, holding raw meat. I heard him say, “Please give us your blessing and turn the baby inside Dina’s womb into a boy.”Who was Dina? And why did he want to bless her child?That’s when it suddenly clicked. Dina Meyers had been an intern at Jaden’s company while she was still at university. Jaden used to complain about her to me at the beginning. “

I got out of bed and tiptoed toward the bedroom door, slowly pushing it open.A thick stench of blood and energy rushed toward me, almost pushing me back into the room.In the middle of the living room, there was a pot of pinkish raw pork. Jaden was holding a piece of the meat, his eyes closed as he prayed sincerely at the shrine. My mother-in-law stood to the side, watching him with a grim expression, but there was also a crazed look of love in her eyes as she gazed at her son.I was too far away to hear what Jaden was saying. After a moment, he finished mumbling and took a small knife from his pocket. Without hesitation, he slit his wrist.Blood poured from the wound, and he wiped it onto the raw piece of pork. Then, he placed the meat on the shrine.My mother-in-law approached him, and they hugged tightly. Jaden patted her back, seemingly trying to console her.He looked up and saw me standing there.If I wasn’t mistaken, I saw murder in his eyes the moment he looked at me.

My mother-in-law jumped in fright when I screamed. It was the first time I had ever seen my plump mother-in-law move with such insane speed and agility.I felt the slap just as Jaden shouted, "Mom!"I was stunned as I held my hand to my swollen cheek. My mother-in-law carefully picked up the four incense sticks from the ground and inspected them thoroughly, making sure none were broken.Once she was satisfied, she sighed in relief and placed the incense sticks into the holder."Nadine," she called, turning to face me.For a moment, I thought I was imagining it. Her pupils looked thin and elongated, almost murky and yellowish. She stared at me like a cat."Be careful next time," she warned. "Her Grace will get angry."The weight of her words lingered, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.The next day, I couldn't focus at work. I searched online for different kinds of figurines and idols, from orthodox religions to more obscure ones, but nothing loo
