My Revenge with The Underworld Mafia

Lorelei P. O. V

I wasn't surprised to find out Kourtney was pregnant, considering what happened between her and my husband. "So what? What do I care if you're pregnant? I'm not obligated to support you or your child!"

While I noticed Matthew looked surprised by Kourtney's revelation, a flicker of something in his eyes.

"Kourtney? Are you really pregnant?" Matthew asked, confirming.

Kourtney pulled out a pregnancy test from her pocket. "Yes, I was going to tell you, but I knew you wouldn't accept it."

I was supposed to tell him that news on our anniversary, but fate had other plans.

"No, I'll accept the child. I want you to give me the baby." Matthew said seriously. Then he turned to me. "Lorelei, please. Give me another chance, I promise to make things right. And since we don't have children yet, we can adopt Kourtney's baby. You want to have a child, right?"

I laughed at his ridiculous idea. "Matthew, I have no intention of raising someone else's child, especially not yours and Kourtney's, conceived through betrayal!" I insisted.

"But Lorelei, I'm willing to give you this child. I'm not ready to raise this alone, I haven't finished college, and I don't have a job yet. I need your help, sis." Kourtney said, crying.

"So why did you do something you knew would ruin your life? You're old enough to know right from wrong, Kourtney." I said angrily. I couldn't understand her, it felt like it was my obligation to help her after she betrayed me.

"I didn't intend to do that, sis. I was just tempted, but I promise, I won't do it again, and I want to make it up to you when I give birth to this child. I'll let you adopt him." She tried to convince me, both of them were so insensitive, they didn't understand the pain I was feeling.

"Are you two even thinking? Do you think it's normal for me to just accept everything and pretend nothing happened? No way! I can't forgive you, and if you don't leave, I will!"

I stormed towards my room to pack my things while Matthew tried to stop me. '

"Lorelei, what do I have to do to make you forgive me?"

"If you want me to forgive you, then never show your face to me again!" I shoved him and continued into the room.

"I won't leave you, Lorelei, no matter what. Nothing can separate us! So please, forgive me. I'm your husband, so you should forgive me!" he pleaded.

His words made my ears ring. "Don't you hear yourself? Matthew, you're the crazy one in this relationship! That's why I told you to stay away from my sister, because I knew something bad would happen, but you didn't listen, and now here are the consequences! And my decision to divorce you is final!"

"I won't allow it! Lorelei, you seem to forget that you became a lawyer because of my family's help. So make the right decision, or you'll regret what you're doing, you might lose your job." Matthew threatened, and I felt a pang of fear because his family held influence.

"How dare you, Matthew! You have no right to stop me from making my own decisions. Don't blackmail me. You're the one who should be held accountable for committing adultery!" I yelled.

I was startled when he suddenly grabbed my arm. "Don't waste your time, Lorelei. My father is the mayor, and do you really think he'll let me go to jail?!"

His action hurt, so I pulled my arm away. "You're no different from your abusive father!"

After I said that, I received a hard slap. I was shocked and touched my stinging cheek.

"Say that again, and you'll regret ever crossing me!"

At that moment, I saw a furious glint in Matthew's eyes, and I never expected he harbored such a dark side. I must have been blind for years, clouded by rose-tinted glasses.

"Matthew, if I had known from the start that you would treat me like this, I wouldn't have married you. That’s my biggest regret!" I dictated, my voice steady despite the fear creeping in.

He merely smirked, "It's too late now, Lorelei. You can't escape me, you belong to me!"

Before I could react, he suddenly grabbed me and dragged me toward the bed, forcing me to comply with his demands.

“Let me go, Matthew!”

I struggled to break free, but he was too strong, pinning me down on the bed. With a swift motion, he tore off my shirt, exposing my chest to the cold air.

"Lorelei, you’re mine, and only death can separate us."

As he leaned in to kiss me, a surge of desperation ignited within me. I grabbed the lamp beside me and swung it at him, the ceramic crashing against his head.

He toppled to the floor, and for an agonizing moment, I held my breath, watching in horror as he lay still, blood pooling on the ground beneath him.

Panic washed over me, and dread gripped my heart. What had I done?

"Matthew..." I tried to wake him, but he didn't move at all.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Kourtney rushed in, her eyes widening in shock as she took in the scene before her.

"Oh my god! Why did you kill him?!" she exclaimed.
