My Husband Is a Brother-in-Law Supporter
Chapter 7
Only then did Cedric snap out of it. He grabbed his parents and brother, pulling them off me.
"Stop it. What are you doing? Let's talk about it peacefully. Violet is pregnant with my child!"
Looking at my bruised and battered body, Cedric seemed to feel a flicker of guilt.
Reese shrugged it off. "Relax, I only hit her head but didn't touch her belly."
My in-laws chimed in, "We just pinched her arms and legs and didn't even go near her belly. The baby's fine."
Lizeth stepped up. "Cedric, don't blame Reese or our parents. It's your wife's fault for being so disrespectful to her in-laws. She deserved a beating! Don't spoil her, or you'll regret it later."
After that, she looked at me smugly.
Once they finished talking, whatever guilt Cedric had felt disappeared.
I lay on the floor lonely.
Then I looked up at them.
At that moment, I knew I couldn't stay in this family. They would stop at nothing to force me to sell the house.
I couldn't even guarantee my safety.
I had to get out of there immediately.
I grabbed Cedric's hand. "Honey, my belly hurts. Please take me to the hospital."
Once I was there, I would find a way to escape.
Just when Cedric was about to agree, Kaylee shouted.
"She's not going anywhere until she agrees to sell the house."
I quickly gave in. "Kaylee, I'll agree to sell the house, but I'm in too much pain right now. Please let Cedric take me to the hospital first. You can take pictures of the house and send them to an agent in the meantime and get it listed."
Everyone's faces relaxed when they saw me finally give in.
Even Lizeth, who had just been eager to see me beaten to death, came over to help me up. "Lizeth, if only you'd figured this out sooner."
