Chapter 1 of Widowed by Deceit

Three years after our marriage,Victor Jean had changed his girlfriend every month to force me to divorce.

When he asked me for a divorce for the 99th time,I hid my pregnancy test report and promised to divorce him in a year.The next day,he and his elder brother had an accident that made him died.Meanwhile,his brother got injured.

I suppressed my sadness and mourned for Victor,but I fainted in the cemetery.While I was unconscious,I heard him quarrelling with my mother-in-law.

"Alecia just got pregnant and you faked your death to pretend to be her elder brother.Are you crazy?"

Victor lowered his voice and said hysterically,"This is God's will.God is helping me get rid of this dog-skin plaster!Mom,you clearly know that the person I love has always been Kelly,but you insist on forcing me to marry Alecia!"

"And now it just feels right.I can show my affection to Kelly as his elder brother.Alecia likes to stay as a Bennet Family,so she will stay as a widow.The child is just a gift from me to her!"

I clenched my fingers to prevent my tears from falling.Victor didn't know that I was willing to marry him and give birth to his children just to repay his kindness.Since the benefactor was dead,the favour was also over.

——

"Victor,you beast!Aren't you afraid that Kelly and Alecia will find out?You'll need to pay for what you have done someday!"

Facing his mother's scolding,Victor snorted coldly and didn’t care.He then said,"Do you think those women I found were just for fun?Mom,you probably don't know that they’re all my brother's girlfriends.He asked me to clean up his mess when he got tired of playing.Those girls didn't realize that I'm not him,let alone Kelly and Alecia!"

"My brother married my love but I didn't cherish him,instead he cheated under my name,so why can't I use his name and grow old with Kelly?Mom,let me be happy.Now that you have Kelly and me in the first place to give you grandchildren,while you have Alecia,the foolish girl,to give you the other grandchildren."

My mother-in-law was so angry that her breath was unstable.She scolded him for bullying me after what I had done for him all this time.

Meanwhile,he cursed her in disdain,"I never tortured Alecia.She was the poor girl,climbing into my room and seducing me again and again.I'm not a saint.I can't refuse the one who came to my door!")

"If I hadn't seen her serve me well every time,I would have left the child in her belly for a long time ago.In fact,doesn't she love me?Then,she must be satisfied enough to stay with the child and be a widow of the Bennet Family!"

The nails broke on the palm of my hand and when I let go,I saw a bloody mess.It turned out that in Victor's heart,I was so unbearable.He tortured me fiercely in bed again and again,but it was not like what I thought.It was never meant to be his warming up.

My tears fell uncontrollably.The quarrel between the mother and son was interrupted by the doctor who pushed the door in.Perhaps because she felt sorry for me,my mother-in-law asked the doctor to save the fetus in my belly.She repeatedly told Victor to accompany me well,but he coldly refused it.

"I'll hire a nurse for her.How can a brother take care of his younger brother's wife?If this gets out,won't people laugh at me?"

My mother-in-law punched him hard a few times,but she couldn't stop him from going back to accompany Kelly.

After he left some time,I slowly opened my eyes.My mother-in-law looked at my red eyes and immediately lowered her head.She didn’t dare to look me in the eyes.

"Alecia,you are not alone.You have to be strong even for the sake of your child."

Since I married into the Bennet Family,my mother-in-law has treated me well.I didn't want to embarrass her.If Victor hadn't saved me from the car accident,I couldn’t figure it out how tall the grass on my grave would be.

Victor's elder brother,Leister Bennet,was may be born infertile,.In order not to worry the Bennet Family,I had been keeping this secret for him.I even adjusted his body in private,but it was ineffective.
