After His Mistress Murdered Grandma, I Tore Their World Apart

My husband's blind grandmother was pushed off a high-rise and is now in critical condition. I tried calling him ten times before he finally picked up. “What do you want now? Yareli is having an emergency, and I won’t be coming home tonight. Stop bugging me.” My heart sank as I told him that Grandma was fighting for her life and asked him to send $50,000 for the surgery. He exploded: “You’re never satisfied, are you? Why should I care about your grandma's condition? If she can’t be saved, then let her die. Leave me alone!” Because I was delayed in raising the money, Grandma died on the operating table. I took the culprit to court, only to see my CEO husband accompany his first love into the courtroom.

The police acted swiftly, and it wasn't long before Yareli Watkins received a court summons. As a public figure recently embroiled in a high-profile romance, the news of her murder charges quickly went viral, causing a frenzy on social media platforms like Twitter. Yareli's response was straightforward: "Justice will prevail, and I believe the truth will come out. I'll be in court to clear my name!"

Her composed demeanor only emboldened her fans, who attacked me online, casting me as an attention-seeking troublemaker. On the day of the trial, the media was in full force, and the courtroom was packed with her supporters and fans.

As I arrived, I saw Lennon Nichols escorting Yareli with great care. Despite her confident words, Yareli looked pale. It had been days since Lennon and I had seen each other. He hadn’t come home, hadn't returned to work, and hadn't even visited Grandma’s grave. All for this childhood sweetheart!

Perhaps my furious stare was too obvious, as Lennon immediately noticed me. His eyes filled with annoyance as he walked over, frowning.

"What are you doing here causing a scene? Shouldn't you be at home with Kiara? This isn’t the right place for you," he snapped.

I looked at him with a cold smile. "Why shouldn't I be here? I'm the one who brought this case forward."

He looked taken aback. "You're the one making all this fuss?"

Seeing the defense lawyer beside me, understanding dawned on his face. "So when you mentioned Grandma's fall, this is what you meant?"

Seizing the moment, Yareli moved to Lennon's side, blinking with feigned innocence. He patted her shoulder reassuringly, then turned to me with a smug look.

"Colette, no matter how hard you try to cause trouble, let me tell you, I've hired the best lawyer. We're going to win this case today!"

I shook with anger. "Who are you accusing of causing trouble?"

He replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "Isn't your dying grandmother just trying to scam people? As if what she got before wasn’t enough, now she wants to use her life to extort money from Yareli! But unfortunately for her, this time her little scheme is bound to fail…”

Before he could finish, I slapped him as hard as I could.

"Are you even listening to yourself? Yareli Watkins is a murderer! The person she killed is—"

I stared at my laptop screen, unable to process what I was seeing. My fingers hovered over the trackpad, trembling slightly as I refreshed Cameron's profile again. The relationship status remained stubbornly, devastatingly changed: "Single." Two weeks before our wedding. Nine years together, and he had changed his status to "single" without even telling me. "This has to be a mistake," I whispered to the empty penthouse, my voice echoing off the pristine white walls that suddenly felt cold and foreign. The Los Angeles skyline glittered beyond our floor-to-ceiling windows, oblivious to my world collapsing. I reached for my phone to call Cameron, but it buzzed in my hand before I could dial. An email notification. From Vanessa Clarke—Cameron's assistant. My stomach twisted as I opened it.

The night before the wedding, I found out that Cason Marshall and his ex-girlfriend Audrey Castro had been in touch sporadically. Regardless of the distance, they always made time for each other when it was necessary. His friend Arlo asked him, "What's on your mind, man? You're about to marry Liliana, yet you're still involved with Audrey. If you weren't over her, why did you even break up?" Cason lit a cigarette, his voice rough, "With Audrey, it's purely physical. We don't connect on any other level. But with Liliana, it's the exact opposite." "Don't worry," he added with a sigh, "I've got it under control. It's just physical, no cuddling, no spending the night. It won't interfere with my marriage to Liliana." --- With just two days until the wedding, I was rushing around picking up packages. Today alone, I'd made five trips.
