My husband tells me he's a wanted fugitive. He doesn't want to drag me down with him, so he turns himself in and tells me to marry another. My heart aches for him. I scrimp and save to raise our son while waiting for him to be released from prison. It's only when my hair has gone gray that I learn the truth—I see him holding his true love's hand as they go shopping. They buy luxury products like they cost nothing. Only then do I understand that he pretended to be thrown behind bars to be rid of me and our son. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day my husband pretended to be a fugitive. I immediately call the police and give them the evidence of his crimes. He likes acting like a fugitive, doesn't he? He can spend the rest of his life behind bars, then.
View MoreThe men started beating Patricia until she couldn't even get up from the floor. She was bruised all over. There was even blood on her face.Propping herself up against the cabinet door, she kept howling in pain, but I ignored her. I told them to take her away before handing the keys to them. I clarified that from now on, none of this had anything to do with me.Just in case, I blacklisted Patricia's number and provided the debt collectors with her contact information as well. I even took the last few things of value lying around, including the supermarket vouchers and the electric scooter outside.I made sure that Patricia and Daniel couldn't weasel their way out of this situation!Refusing to accept this situation, Patricia plopped onto the ground with Daniel beside her and started cursing me out. Everyone in the neighborhood heard everything she said.I wasn't going to let her ruin my reputation, of course. Therefore, I took a loudspeaker and informed everyone about the things P
Even though Martin was now in police custody, he had already arranged everything in advance.The men surrounding me looked fearsome. They were even brandishing weapons. One of them tossed me an IOU agreement and declared, "If you owe a debt, it's only right to pay it back! This is what your husband borrowed from me with your house as collateral! Since he's going to prison, you should pay it back on his behalf!"He proceeded to eye me fiercely, but I was unperturbed. "If you think you can get the money by killing me out here on the street, you can go ahead and give it a shot."I'd already died once before. Death didn't scare me!Plus, I had just received an official commendation from the police force. There was no reason for these people to actually take my life. Still, the man was stupefied by my fearlessness. He stretched his fingers and glanced behind him. Immediately, his lackeys started flexing their muscles and questioning me. "What do you mean by that? Are you expecting us
In everyone's eyes, I was the pitiful woman who was tricked by her husband.Realizing that she had misspoken, Patricia instantly started acting all cagey. She waved her hands and stammered, "N-No. I didn't say that. You misheard me."Shaking all over, I slumped onto the ground, looking as if I had just received some earth-shattering news. "So, Martin pretended to be a wanted fugitive so that he could escape from me and ride off into the sunset with her. He was going to saddle me with the responsibility of looking after you and our son, wasn't he? And all of you were in on this together to hide the truth from me."Then, I screamed at the top of my lungs, "How is he so sure that I won't abandon you guys and remarry, huh? We were together for 11 years, but he schemed against me for the sake of that woman! What a cruel, vicious man he is!"I started choking on my tears. As it was, I had been conned for an entire lifetime before I finally figured out the truth."We only did it becaus
"Louise, how can you trick the police with fake evidence?" Patricia berated me in faux righteousness before turning to the police officer with a sycophantic smile. "I'm so sorry, young man. This is my daughter-in-law, and she's not right in the head. I'll take her away right this instant."She started yanking me toward the door, but the police officer eyed her sternly and commanded, "Hold it right there! Deliberate destruction of evidence is an obstruction of justice and against the law! "Do you not know that? I've already checked the evidence, and everything is in order. We'll open the investigation into this matter right away. All of you will have to cooperate with the police!"The police officer tapped away on his phone before leaving with his notebook.After realizing that she had failed to stop me in time, Patricia nearly fainted.Three hours later, the sound of the police siren wailed outside of Whitney's house. Even as the police officers escorted Martin into a police car, he w
"How could this happen?" I cried while hugging Daniel. "What am I supposed to do without Martin? How are we going to live?"However, my sadness was merely a mask. Deep down inside, I was positively overjoyed.Martin sure knew how to cover his tracks. Here he was pretending to have been arrested when he went over to apologize. That way, he wouldn't actually end up in police custody."Mom, I want to see Martin," I said to Patricia.She quickly dismissed that idea by saying, "The police said he's not allowed to meet with his family right now."Her eyes flickered in thought before she suggested, "Since Martin has been arrested, it's best if we can provide the victim's family with some financial compensation. That way, he can get a lighter sentence too."While wiping her tears, she quickly shot a look at Daniel, who instantly started wailing. He grabbed my hand and said, "Mommy, you need to save Daddy!"I sneered to myself. What a brilliant scheme this was. Patricia was clearly expecting me
We were sitting at the dining table. My husband, Martin Short, was looking at me in sorrow as he said, "I'm really sorry, Louise. I've been hiding something from you throughout our marriage. But now, I can no longer bear the weight of my conscience."My heart skipped a beat as I hastily looked around, only to confirm that I had indeed been reborn. I had gone back in time to the day Martin pretended to be a wanted fugitive!As I looked at the insincere act he was putting on now, I felt nauseated.Martin continued to bury his head and sob."To be honest with you, Louise, I'm a wanted fugitive. When I was still an 18-year-old teenager, I robbed someone for money, and the man died. He had a wife and a child. I have no idea how they survived without him. I feel the need to pay for my actions now."Sniffling through his tears, he grabbed my hand and continued, "As my wife, you'll support me, right?"My son, Daniel Short, and my mother-in-law, Patricia Oswald, were both seated at the di
