Chapter 1

My husband George conned our son Patrick into embezzling funds, just to pay off debts for his first love, Evelyn Miller. Then he turned around and reported Patrick to the police.

The day Patrick was arrested, he jumped off a building.

At that same time, George was off on a trip with Evelyn and her son, Jacob Miller. They posted photos on Instagram, all smiles.

George even added a caption: [Jacob says I'm better to him than his own dad. The kid's been through a lot. I swear I'll take care of him.]

Crushed, I held Patrick's urn close and called George. "What kind of a human being are you?"

George's reply was ice cold. "Patrick's young. A few years in jail won't kill him. But Evelyn needs to support Jacob. She can't afford any trouble."

His words left me gasping for air. Hot tears spilled onto the urn.

"George Lynch, just come back and let's get this divorce over with. You're disgusting," I spat out before hanging up, breaking down into tears.

Patrick was always a gentle soul, smart, excelled at school. After graduating, he landed a finance job at a big company.

I could never have imagined his own father would ruin him.

As Patrick stood on that roof, I screamed for him to come down.

Red-eyed and desperate, he cried out, asking why George would do this to him.

I found out that George, who'd always been cold to Patrick, suddenly got all cozy, begging him to free up some cash.

He promised he'd pay it back the next day.

It was the first time George had ever spoken kindly to Patrick, who couldn't stand to let his dad down, so he did it. He embezzled the money.

But once George got the money, he disappeared and even reported Patrick.

Patrick's reputation was ruined, and now he faced prison. Unable to bear the betrayal, he climbed to the roof.

Overwhelmed, he said, "Mom, didn't you say if I was good enough, Dad would love me?

I've tried my hardest all my life. But why did he do this to me?

Mom, sorry. But I can't take this betrayal!"

With that, he jumped.

No matter how much I screamed and cried, nothing changed.

But after Patrick died, George suddenly popped back up on Instagram.

He posted a picture of Evelyn with the caption: [Evelyn is still gorgeous. Though we never made it as a couple, don't worry, I've got your back. I'll handle your debts.]

He shared a picture of Jacob, adding: [Jacob says I'm better to him than his own dad. The kid's been through a lot. I swear I'll take care of him.]

I wept bitterly, screaming, "George, you're using the money you conned from Patrick to please your old flame?

You let your own son die to pamper her child?

Patrick, this is my fault.

I should've divorced that bastard George right from the start, not taught you to grovel to him like I did."
