High Temperature Apocalypse: Unveiling the Masks of Family MembersChapter 1
On the second day of the horrific high temperature, Cecilia brought her pregnant niece to live in my house.
There was a water shortage across the country, but the girl washed her hair with clean water every day.
Instead of blaming her, Cecilia and husband blamed me for not storing enough water.
More and more people were dying from the heat, and my husband and his family beat me up and forced me to go out to find food.
I didn't have any sun protection and died of heat at the door of my house.
I found out before I died that the girl was my husband's mistress, and that the whole family had tricked me into taking care of the girl during her pregnancy.
When I opened my eyes again, Cecilia and the mistress were occupying my bedroom.
This time, I would take revenge on them while enjoying air conditioning and a good meal.
"The weather is expected to remain hot over the next week, with the highest temperature reaching 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Citizens are advised to reduce unnecessary outings."
I was suddenly awakened by hearing the news on TV.
Cecilia, Cecilia, was cleaning the master bedroom for her niece, Cynthia Taylor. And my clothes and belongings were thrown on the floor like garbage.
"What are you doing? This is my cousin's house. I can live wherever I want! Why don't you move out?"
Cynthia put her hands on her hips and looked at me provocatively.
My husband, Jaxon Wells, protected her. "Stop talking nonsense! It doesn't matter where you sleep. You have to make room for the guest. Get out of the way!"
I stared at those ugly faces and recalled this marriage in a trance.
Today was the fifth day after my abortion, and he couldn't wait to take his mistress back.
At the beginning, he was penniless, with no money and no house, and I accompanied him through all the hardships.
I lived frugally to take care of my family. But the hard work damaged my health. I had miscarriages every three times I got pregnant.
Right after the abortion, mistress made a fuss in the hospital.
"Other people can go back to work after giving birth. Why are you so delicate? You can't even have a baby, but you are wasting money!
"It costs hundreds of dollars a day to be hospitalized. You don't deserve it. Stand up!"
