After My Brother's Death, My Husband Wants to Marry His Sister-in-Law

My head was spinning even more.

Back when we were dating, Levi had suggested making intimate videos, and I had angrily stopped him several times.

At the time, I stood my ground, telling him firmly that such things were absolutely off-limits.

He reluctantly agreed and never brought it up again.

But not long ago, he suddenly suggested making another video.

I thought to myself, we’ve been married for six or seven years now, and it’s the time for the so-called "seven-year itch." Maybe he wanted to spice things up and keep our marriage from getting stale.

After all, we've been together for so long—nothing bad would likely come from it, so I agreed.

I never expected that his real intention was to prove his own capabilities.

It was then that Nadia spoke up:

"Oh, stop it, Eva looks so pale."

"Mom, Dad, Levi... you guys are unbelievable. I know you care about me. Even though I’m only 28, just a year younger than Levi, what’s wrong with staying single for the rest of my life for Oliver’s sake?"

"I’m not even desperate for kids. You two are enough for me."

Sophia quickly chimed in with concern:

"What are you talking about, Nadia?! Eva’s a daughter-in-law, and so are you! How can Eva and Levi be so happy while you’re just wasting away like this?"

"Eva understands, doesn’t she? Nadia’s always been so good to you."

Hah. They really knew how to use both the carrot and the stick.

I gritted my teeth and turned to Levi:

"Levi, is this something you and your parents decided together?"

Levi looked at my pale face, a flash of pain and guilt in his eyes, but quickly replied with firmness:

"Eva, you’ve been so busy lately. This small matter wasn’t something I wanted to bother you with, but we all thought you’d understand. Don’t worry, I’m just helping Oliver by having a child. My responsibility to Nadia is out of duty, but my love for you is real."

I looked at my husband of six years, and my heart ached.

But then, all the moments when Levi had once been so kind to me came flooding back.

In fact, six years ago, I was supposed to marry Oliver.

Just when we were about to get engaged, I was abducted by a group of criminals, tortured for three days and nights, and the ordeal was recorded and posted online.

My mother, Caleb Voss, died from a stroke caused by the shock, and my father, Oscar Dorne, was so ashamed he cut ties with me.

When Dr. Jason Bishop told me I would never be able to have children again, Oliver immediately broke off the engagement.

That was when Levi stepped forward, saying he had loved me for many years and that he would marry me.

"Oliver can take care of the family line, and I’ll take care of loving you."

Levi's words moved me to tears.

The happy tears of that time now mixed with the bitter ones of today. I closed my eyes, finally deciding to give in.

"Okay, I agree…"

As the words left my mouth, all the relatives looked at me in shock. Even Levi probably didn’t expect me to agree so quickly.

He froze for a moment, then hurried to unplug the connection, but it was too late.

I watched in horror as my face in high-definition appeared on the big screen.

I could hear the shocked gasps of relatives, the screams of children, and Levi's frantic curses.

"Shut your eyes! I told you to look at my muscles, not my wife!"

"Mom, how do I turn this off? I don’t know how to work this thing!"

Everything went black before my eyes, and I fainted.

I woke up to the ticking sound of machines.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.

This... this is a hospital?
