Divorced and Ruined My Son’s KillerChapter 1
Amber’s Pov
I was at work when the news was playing in the background and that's when I saw it. A lifeless boy was carried out of a car after suffocating for hours.
My heart stopped. It was my son.
I froze as the camera showed the car. I knew that car—it belonged to my husband’s adopted sister, Chloe!
The room spun. Fury shot through me, burning every vein in my body. “She killed my son,” I whispered, shaking. “She has to pay for this.”
My husband Jason wrapped his arm around me, his voice low. “You’re right, Amber. Chloe has gone too far this time. I’ll make sure she faces justice.”
My brother, a lawyer, handled the case personally. But on the morning of the trial, he never showed up.
Two days later, they found his mutilated lifeless body outside his house, and no trace of all the evidence he had gathered.
The case collapsed and the judge dismissed everything ruling my son’s death as ‘accidental’ while Chloe walked out of court free.
I rushed home, desperate, hoping Jason could still help. That’s when I heard voices in his study. I leaned against the door, listening.
“I don’t know, Jason,” Mark, his best friend, was saying. “Chloe deliberately killed your son out of jealousy. But you went and had your wife’s brother killed just to save her from prison?”
My chest tightened, my pulse roaring in my ears.
Jason’s voice sounded cold and cruel. “Amber will never know the truth. It was the only way to protect Chloe. Besides, it wasn’t just her fault. We were… carried away in the bedroom. I forgot that little bastard was still locked in the car.”
My knees buckled. My breath caught in my throat. Bedroom? With Chloe?
“She thinks Chloe is your sister,” Mark laughed. “Amber really is clueless. How can she not see that Chloe’s son, Julius looks exactly like you? He’s your son.”
Jason chuckled, almost proud. “Amber is madly in love with me. She’ll believe whatever I say. Soon, I’ll send her away for good and build the family I want with Chloe. Especially now that she’s pregnant again.”
The world shattered around me. How could this have happened? Ever since Chloe donated her kidney to save my husband’s life four years ago he adopted her as his little sister.
He's always done everything to make her happy and when I complain he would always say, “She saved my life, Amber, without her I won’t be here. We owe her everything.”
