Logan didn't respond, but I wasn't in a hurry. He was probably still tangled up with that woman. He'd see the text when they were done.I let out a scoff as I stared at Aiden's photo on my phone, my heart sinking. I wondered if Aiden could see this. I had sworn to avenge him. The people who caused his death would get what they deserved. I wouldn't let him lie there alone in that cold grave.Fighting back the overwhelming sadness, I forwarded the video evidence to my lawyer. The lawyer was thrilled, replying, "With this proof of his affair, we can claim 70%, maybe even 90% of his assets."I smiled weakly and finally laid down for a decent night's sleep. Since Aiden's death, I hadn't been able to sleep a wink. I prayed that he would come to me in my dreams so I could see him again.The next morning, I woke up to someone pounding on the front door. I had forgotten I'd changed the locks so that Logan couldn't get in.When I opened the door, I found myself staring into his bloodshot ey
"We're not getting divorced. Just give up on that. If Aiden's spirit is watching over us, he wouldn't want to see us separate. We'll have more children," Logan said.I slapped him as I shouted, "You're a monster! Get out!"I kicked and shoved him out of the house, rage boiling inside me. How could he say something so revolting? Without hesitation, I had my lawyer file the papers. Until the divorce was finalized, I wouldn't let Logan have a single moment of peace.Right after Logan left, Claire asked me to meet. When I reached the cafe, she sat across from me with her hand resting on her stomach, a smug smile on her face."I suggest you stop clinging to him," she said. "I saw the messages you sent him last night. Shayla, it's pathetic how miserable your life has become. Your son is dead. If I were you, I wouldn't want to live anymore." She then added with a smirk, "You're not getting any younger. Just walk away with some dignity. Logan and I are going to have children together."I
The online backlash was intense, with tens of thousands of comments pushing the story onto the trending topics. When I read the articles, my whole body shook with rage. So that was what happened. My poor Aiden. How much pain he must have been in. He had to make two trips to get the medicine, and that was when he ran into that deranged person.Logan really deserved to die!My eyes reddened as I read on, unable to contain the fury building inside me. I immediately had my lawyer file a lawsuit and publicly posted a detailed account of what had happened on social media. I exposed how Logan and Claire's affair had led to Aiden's death, and how Logan cheated on me while we were still married.Within hours, everyone knew who Logan was. I left him to roast on the trending lists for an entire day. Furious netizens bombarded him with calls, and some people even found out his company's address and sent funeral wreaths. Strangers even left flowers at Aiden's grave. I never imagined that so many
After I took a substantial portion of Logan's assets, all of his long-time clients received a text message. It warned them about how ruthless Logan was, pointing out that he even harmed his son, so they needed to be cautious in future dealings with him.Logan hadn't anticipated the fallout would be this severe. In this industry, having a mistress wasn't unusual. Everyone had their flings and brought their affairs along to social events. He couldn't understand why it turned out to be such a big sin when it came to him.He just couldn't understand it, but I found it amusing. Yes, everyone played the field, but very few like him would go so far as to sacrifice their child just to be with their first love. Such cold-heartedness and disregard for everything around him were major taboos and looked down upon in the corporate world. Many of the top brass in this industry built their companies from the ground up. They kept their families intact no matter what happened outside. Logan was the f
I pushed Logan away. "You'd better focus on your woman. I heard she's been quite restless lately and has gotten back together with her overseas boyfriend. Don't you find that suspicious? She came back, and she's pregnant shortly after getting together with you? Don't forget you still haven't picked up your health report. Just a reminder, it's available digitally now.""What do you mean? Are you cursing me?" Logan snarled."Not at all. I just want you to take care of your health," I replied.I left him standing there and got into my car, chuckling at the thought of him seeing that health report. When Aiden was three, Logan was kidnapped while on a business trip, and the kidnappers tortured him for three days. After that incident, he developed severe psychological issues and physical injuries, leaving him unable to have children. So, whose child was Claire carrying? I had no idea, but I was sure it wasn't Logan's.Back home, I went through my spoils from today and turned on the TV. A
As soon as I stepped out of the building, I saw Claire.When she caught sight of me, looking all glamorous, her expression turned to one of disbelief. She rushed over to me. "What're you doing here? Are you… Are you here to bail him out?"Claire was clutching her stomach, her face pale from her injuries, and had come in a wheelchair. I couldn't help but be shocked. It hadn't been long since I last saw her, and the once soft girl who used to lean into Logan's embrace now looked so battered. I hadn't expected this transformation.Then again, people like her didn't deserve a good life. The worse off she was, the happier I felt.I smiled at Claire. "I'm so sorry. After all your efforts to climb to this position, I didn't expect it all to come crashing down.""Logan stabbed me! I'm going to make him pay!" Claire shouted.I shook my head. "Making him pay won't be possible now. The company is mine, and Logan has nothing left but his life, which he will spend in prison." I pointed at her
My husband took our six-year-old son to meet his first love, using him as a cover. At some point, he sent our son to buy burn cream. My sweet boy then encountered a lunatic who stabbed him to death.The pain in my heart was unbearable. When I saw the burn cream still in my son's hand, I broke down in tears.Then my husband called. Instead of any concern or remorse, he yelled at me, "Look at the son you've raised, Shayla Joy! He burned Claire and didn't even apologize. Get him back here right now!"…When my son, Aiden Chappell, died in my arms, he was still clutching the tube of medicine. I sobbed uncontrollably as blood spilled from his mouth and he struggled to speak. At that moment, I dropped to my knees, begging the heavens to take my life instead of his.My plea wasn't heard. They took Aiden away from me, and my world fell apart. I passed out from the grief. When I woke up, I was alone. Logan Chappell, my husband, called. He still didn't know what had happened to Aiden."Log
Logan stormed up to me and grabbed a fistful of my hair. "This is your last chance, Shayla. Apologize and get Aiden here. Or else..."I looked up at him, suddenly stopping mid-laugh. "Or else what? You'll divorce me and marry this woman? Is that it? Do you even have the guts to do it? Because if you do, I'll step aside right now. How about that? I locked my eyes onto his and screamed, "Come on, Logan! Say something! Do you have the guts or not?"Logan froze. He let go of me, stumbling back a few steps. After a long pause, all he could mutter was, "You're crazy.""I'm crazy? And what about you? You're no better. Logan, if you don't make a decision today, even I won't respect you. You're a coward, an absolute fool!" I hurled every insult I could think of at him, kicking the bodyguards near me as hard as I could.I didn't care anymore. Aiden was gone, and no one could stop me from losing my mind.It was only then that Logan seemed to realize I wasn't bluffing. He warned, "What's wron
