The depth of the malice made me physically sick. I collapsed onto her bedroom floor, clutching the red box to my chest, weeping not for the sister I had lost two weeks ago, but for the two innocent children who never stood a chance because of her twisted jealousy.
She didn’t just steal my husband; she stole my motherhood, my sanity, and my babies’ lives just to prove a point.
Worse still, Marcus had been raised to believe I was simply broken. When I called Marcus for the first time in twelve years, my voice was dead calm. He answered, sounding annoyed and confused to hear from me. I told him to meet me at a local diner, saying it was about Chloe’s estate. When he sat down, looking older but still possessing that same arrogant posture, I didn’t say a word. I just pushed the red box across the table.
As Marcus went through the documents, the color completely drained from his face. He read Chloe’s handwritten logs, his eyes widening as he realized that the woman he left me for—the woman he praised for being “fertile” and “perfect”—was actually a monster who had murdered his own unborn children.
He looked up at me, tears streaming down his face, choking out apologies, begging for my forgiveness, and realizing that his entire life for the last twelve years had been built on a horrific lie.
I didn’t forgive him. I stood up, took the box back, and told him that the next person he would be explaining this to would be the police. Even though Chloe is gone and can no longer face a courtroom, I am taking this evidence straight to the authorities to investigate how she obtained those drugs, and to finally get the official justice my angel babies deserve. My heart is permanently scarred, but the truth is finally out.
