Chapter 2

Kaitlyn POV

When I returned home that evening, my heart was racing with excitement as I hurried upstairs to show Martin the test results. But to my disappointment, he wasn't home.

"Hasn't he been back since this morning?" Worry crept into my chest again. His absence and the silence of no calls deepened my unease.

I stood in front of the mirror in our room, gently placing my hands on my lower belly and smiling.

"You two... your father will love you so much. And I... I'm waiting for you eagerly." Tears of joy streamed down my face. After four years of waiting, I could finally be a mother. I would carry the title of 'Mom.' I would hold my two babies in my arms and finally be rewarded for all the patience I had endured.

I wished everyone would treat me with love and respect now. I was an orphan. I had no one in this world but Martin. He was my family, my entire world.

I picked up my phone and dialed Martin, but his phone was off. I wasn't sure if what happened yesterday was true... that Martin had another woman pregnant. I needed to be certain before taking any action.

Patience and silence were the only options for now. So I decided I wouldn't tell Martin about my babies until I knew the full truth. And if everything I heard yesterday was true, I would leave this marriage.

I looked at the clock again. It was already late... Would he make up another excuse about work or an emergency? My thoughts were racing. I placed my bag on the bed and slowly headed downstairs.

Suddenly, I noticed someone trembling violently on the floor near the dining table.

"Who's there?" I screamed, rushing toward them in fear.

When I reached the spot, shock froze me. It was Theresa, Martin's sister, shaking violently on the floor. "Theresa! What happened?" Fear filled me.

"Theresa, wait! I'll get help!"

I reached for my phone in my pocket, but I remembered I left it upstairs. Panic surged through me as I screamed for assistance.

It wasn't long before Martin and Ashley rushed into the house. Seeing me kneeling on the floor beside Theresa's body, Martin stood by my side while Ashley approached with an unreadable expression, a strange smile on her face.

"Kaitlyn, what's going on?" Martin asked, his voice full of concern, but he froze when he saw his sister lying lifeless.

"My sister! Oh my God! Kaitlyn, what did you do?"

Fear gripped me, and I sobbed, "I didn't do anything! I found her like this."

But Martin was in shock, clearly not believing me. I was on the floor, Theresa's body stretched out before me, and Martin's accusing words echoed in my ears.

"What did you do?!" His voice was a mix of anger and despair.

I was in a state of confusion. My heart pounded wildly, and my mind raced to understand what was happening. I looked at Martin, but his eyes were full of doubt. "I didn't do anything! I swear!"

Ashley stood beside me, her face pretending to be shocked. "We need to call an ambulance," she said, her tone flat and emotionless.

Martin ran to his sister, searching for his phone. My worry grew as I watched them. Something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Martin turned to me, his eyes full of accusation. "You were the last one with her."

"I swear, I just found her!" I pleaded, but Martin had made his decision.

Ashley stepped forward, placing a calming hand on Martin's shoulder. "Let the authorities handle it, Martin."

Martin shouted at me, then turned to Ashley angrily. "Call an ambulance immediately."

I was still shaking, tears streaming down my face. I whispered fearfully, "I really didn't do it."

Ashley approached me, her eyes full of fake tears, accusing, "Why, Kaitlyn? I know you didn't like Theresa, but were you planning to kill her?"

Her words wrapped around me like chains, trapping me in a circle of accusation.

Martin's gaze narrowed before he shook his head and stepped back, deepening my confusion. My eyes shifted to Ashley, crying and accusing me. I couldn't believe I was living this nightmare.

I stood up and asked Ashley, "Why are you accusing me? You know I was with you today."

But Martin intervened, his face red with rage. "Liar. Ashley was with me today, and we came together. Why do you keep lying?"

Fear took over me. I had no idea what was happening. I couldn't believe Martin could doubt me this way.

I looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "Do you doubt me?" I asked softly.

His entire body froze at my question. He looked at me with a gaze I couldn't understand. Did he know about the pregnancy? Did he really think I was a killer?

He approached me angrily, and instinctively, I took a step back. I didn't know what was happening, but everything felt wrong.

As soon as he reached me, he grabbed my shoulders and pinned me to the wall by the door.

He said angrily, "I gave you everything. A house, the chance to go to college, a place to sleep, food, money, everything you could ever want."

I trembled under his grip, afraid he might do something terrible in his fury. "I really consider Theresa like a sister despite everything," I whispered.

But he sneered sharply, "You're a damn liar."

I shook my head, my heart pounding in my chest. "I want you out of my house. Out of my life. I'll put you in jail."

Fear gripped me as I looked at him. "Please... what is this?" I whispered in shock.

He replied coldly, "I want you out of my life completely. I don't want to see you again."

I glanced at the man I had loved with all my heart, but I couldn't understand how everything turned into this nightmare.

"But why? Why don't you trust me? I don't understand what's happening. Please, tell me"

He suddenly shouted, "Get out!" I trembled from the sudden scream and lowered my head.

Minutes later, the ambulance arrived with the police. The officers took me away in front of Martin without a word of concern. He got into the ambulance with Ashley.

In shock, I looked around fearfully at the metal restraints on my wrists... and inside me, a volcano of questions erupted. Why is Ashley doing this? How did Martin become like this?
