All Chapters of Frozen Retribution: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Ean Smith glanced at his watch, irritation etched on his face. "Three days, and Madeline still hasn't admitted her mistake?""That woman is so stubborn!" He paced the room, frustration boiling over.Helen Roberts walked in at this moment, carrying a bowl of chicken noodle soup. "Ean, let it go. She didn't do it on purpose. Three days is more than enough time."Ean's expression softened as he looked at her. "You're just too kind-hearted. If Madeline had even a bit of your understanding, it would be great.""Don't be mad at her. She just cares too much about you," Helen said gently.Ean sighed and pulled out his phone, dialing his subordinate's number. "Any word from Madeline?""No, sir. There's been no sound from inside. Could something have happened?" The voice on the other end sounded uneasy."What could have happened? If she doesn't admit to her mistake, let her stay in there!" He snapped, hanging up the call with a resolute click. His cold demeanor returned. Helen stood bes

With Ean's words, my fate was sealed, and the guard said nothing more.Helen walked in just then. Hearing his words, she smiled. "Ean, let her go. It's been several days, and I'm fine.""No, she locked you in the office for so long. She deserves to be punished."Smiling, she said, "Ean, isn't that a bit extreme? After all, she's your wife. It's my fault too. I'm always troubling you and making her jealous. Just let her go."Helen's words seemed to help me, but each sentence dug me in deeper. Ean fell for it."Helen, you're always so kind-hearted. Fine, for your sake, I'll give her a chance."Helen's expression froze. She did not expect him to say that."What's wrong?" Ean asked, noticing her change in expression. "We haven't seen her in days, right?" Helen's voice was tinged with concern. "Maybe we should get a doctor to check on her?"I eyed Helen suspiciously. Was she really this compassionate? She had a point, though. A doctor would confirm my death, and they could avoid f

Ean's influential status made the police tread carefully. They persuaded him to release my body for an autopsy. "We need to know what happened," one officer said gently.Ean hesitated, his eyes filled with anguish. However, he finally relented. "Fine. Just... find out what went wrong."As I watched him, I could not help but mutter bitterly, "Ean, when you find out the truth, please don’t cry over my grave."News of my death spread like wildfire. Ean sat in the hospital hallway, looking like a broken man. Helen approached, her face etched with concern.She wrapped her arms around him. "Ean, you have to stay strong. She's gone, and nothing can bring her back."His eyes were hollow. "Why? Who would do this to her? I just wanted her to back off a little. Why did this have to happen?" Helen's body trembled, but there was a glint of something else in her eyes.Suddenly, Helen's face went pale. "Ean... I feel... dizzy..." she whispered, collapsing into his arms."Helen! Helen, stay w

Ean's eyes widened, and Helen gasped. "Pregnant? That can't be right! Officer, there must be some mistake. Ean, you told me you never had feelings for Madeline, that you never even touched her!"Then, the child…" Helen's eyes went wide. Ean's expression darkened, and he whispered, "No, the child is mine."Helen's face turned ashen, and I could not help but laugh. Yes, the child was Ean's.I remembered that day vividly. Helen had gone to a concert with someone else and flaunted it all over social media. Ean saw the posts and was consumed with jealousy. That night, he drank too much, and... Well, the rest was history.Ean was unusually rough that day, leaving me utterly drained. As I was too exhausted, I forgot to take the morning-after pill and ended up pregnant.Looking back now, I realized how naive I was. He treated me like an object, but I still clung to the idea of being with him.Suddenly, Ean slapped himself hard across the face."Ean, what the hell are you doing?" Helen

[I knew there was another woman! Ean is toxic!][He's a complete scumbag!][Can't men see through gold diggers? He killed his wife for that manipulative woman. How much time will he get?][He's got money. He'll probably find a way to buy his freedom soon!]The online detectives were quick to connect the dots, unraveling Ean's sinister plan with remarkable speed.Ean hired a lawyer, arguing it was just a domestic quarrel and that the incident was not entirely his fault. He proposed that my death was a tragic consequence of his recklessness and had more to do with Helen than him.After posting bail, he was out. I never wanted to see him again, but there he was, bringing my urn to the cemetery. I swallowed my anger and tolerated it.How dare he carve 'beloved wife' on my tombstone? He had a hand in my death!He should not dare cry at my grave. He would mess up my peace in the afterlife!I shook my head and sighed. I was already dead, so his actions did not matter anymore. My futu
