My Husband Killed My Brother for His First Love, so I Made Him Suffer

I went downstairs and picked up the urn.As I stared at the empty urn,I let out a bitter laugh before hailing a cab to the cemetery.

When I returned home after handling everything,I found two extra people in the villa's living room.

Alice sat on the sofa,cradling her child,while Tom watched them with tender eyes.They looked every bit like a real family of three.

I walked past them expressionlessly,heading to the stairs.

"Stop!"

Tom's icy voice rang out.

I halted and spun around to face him.

“Do you know why I brought Alice and Marco,our child,back to the villa?”His gaze seemed to accuse me of being unreasonable.

I scoffed coldly.“I don't know and I don't want to know.”

“Because you kidnapped our baby.He was terrified and has been crying nonstop ever since.As his mother,Alice,has been constantly worried.And all of this is because of you!”

"So,Lucy…apologize to them.

I lifted my head calmly.“And if I refuse?”

The moment I said that,Alice spoke softly and weakly,"Tom,let it go.No matter how Lucy treats us,I deserve it.I shouldn’t have clung to you all this time.”

Immediately,Tom's face filled with a headache.He held her tightly and lowered his head to soothe her with a soft whisper,“Don't be so cautious.With me here,no one dares to bully you.”

Just then,the family doctor came near.Tom glanced at Alice before rising to leave.“You don't like hearing these things.I'll discuss it with the doctor outside.”

After he left,only I,Alice and their baby remained in the living room.

In an instant,the hurt expression vanished from Alice's face,replaced by a smug,triumphant look.

"Lucy,did you see that?”she declared,lifting her chin.“Just one little lie from me and Tom scattered your brother's ashes.The one he loves is me.”

Her words stabbed through me,but I forced myself to speak,"So what?You gave him a child,but the position of Mrs.Howard is still mine,isn't it?”

Instantly,Alice flared with anger,her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at me.

Just then,the sound of Tom returning echoed from outside.

A flash of malice flickered in Alice's eyes.Suddenly,she released her grip and let Marco fall from a great height.

"Ah!My child!"

She screamed and collapsed to the floor.

When Tom entered the room,he saw Alice picking up Marco from the floor with trembling hands.Her eyes filled with anguish and tears.

"Lucy!You're bullying them again!"

His brow furrowed with fury as he raised his arm high,delivering a hard slap across my face.

I stared at him in disbelief.“I didn't do it.Alice herself,who threw Marco to the floor.If you don't believe me,check the surveillance footage.”

I pointed at the security camera in the corner,my eyes fierce with defiance.

Tom sneered coldly.“Fine.As you wish.Check it!”

Before he could summon the butler,Alice grabbed his arm.There was panic in her voice,“Tom,can you check on Marco?What's wrong with him?He won't stop crying.”

I caught the subtle movement of her hand pinching the baby,but I didn't speak up or expose her.After all,Tom would never believe me anyway.

He took the child from Alice's arms and gently soothed him.Then he looked up at me with eyes cold enough to freeze blood.“Don't worry.I'll see justice done for both of you.”

He then beckoned two bodyguards,who then seized my shoulders and forced me to kneel before Alice.

I struggled desperately.“I didn't hurt either of them!Check the surveillance footage!”

But he seemed blind to my pleas and replied coldly,“I trust Alice.She wouldn't lie.It's you who's always resented her.”

My forehead slammed hard against the floor.The wound throbbed faintly,yet that pain paled beside the agony within my heart.

Only after I was forced to the ground for the ninety-ninth time did Tom nod in satisfaction,then leave with Alice and their child.

Before departing,he glanced at me and said,“Lucy,you've been acting rather unreasonable lately.So,I won't be coming back these next few days.”
