After the Betrayal, I Refused His Reconciliation Chapter 1

My mother was burned to death by my boyfriend, who pretended to be a firefighter to cheer up his lover.

On the wedding day, his lover acted like a spoiled child in his arms. “Matthew, I haven’t seen you act like a firefighter to put out a fire.”

My boyfriend agreed lovingly, changed into role-playing clothes turned around to light my mother’s skirt on fire.

My blind mother was at a loss she didn’t scream until the fire engulfed her.

He sprayed her with a fire extinguisher. “Look, your husband is awesome, isn’t he?”

Then the two of them kissed and left, but they didn’t notice that the fire on my mother’s body hadn’t been completely extinguished.

I cried and called him to come back to save my mother, but I only heard him say, “I’ve already given you a wedding, why are you still playing tricks? Anyway, what can happen to her, huh.”

They ignored me and kept being lovey-dovey. My wedding became my mother’s funeral.

The next day, my mother’s dressing room was still on fire. The fire department finally came.

I fell at the door, crying calling my mother with a bruised face.

Ten minutes later, a charred body was carried out. When I was about to take my mother away with all my sadness, my boyfriend’s lover, Anastasia, kicked my mother’s head off with her high heels. “Oh, no one saw it. What is this? It scared me!”

She wanted to step on her again, so I rushed over and held her foot. “Don’t do that. This is my mother!”

The sharp heel pierced my palm. As I screamed in pain, Matthew came out in dishevel Anastasia fell into my arms at the right time.

“Matthew, look at my 1,375 dollars shoes, which are all stained by this charred corpse! What kind of person is she?!”

Matthew coaxed her distressedly, “I’ll buy you another 13,76 dollars pair of shoes, baby.”

He accidentally glanced at me and said with disgust, “I haven’t seen you for a day. How come you are as ugly as garbage?”

I raised my arm and slapped her. “Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Because of you, my mother died!”

I looked impatient and scolded, “You actually followed me here. I warn you, get out quickly, don’t get in the way, or I will divorce you.”

“Isn’t it enough that I gave you a nominal identity? Anastasia, she can only be a mistress because of you. How lucky you are.”

He turned back to tell colleagues. “Hurry up and notify the family.”

He actually forgot that this was the venue for our wedding my mother was inside. He turned around without waiting for them to speak.

My brain buzzed I watched them leave with a pale face.

His brothers and colleagues looked at me speechless, leaving me alone to hug my mother and cry.

I dragged my mother to the elevator entrance when I came downstairs, it was raining heavily.

I desperately tore off the outer gauze on my body to wrap my mother the rain and tears mixed together.

Finally, I crawled and fell to the crematorium to let my mother go cleanly.

When I returned to the new house with her ashes, I didn’t expect to meet them. I saw Anastasia wearing Matthew’s white shirt she was surprised to see me. “Oh, Wanda, why are you dirty all over, like a beggar?”

She covered her mouth and said, “I didn’t mean it, it’s just an adjective.”

It seemed that she was the mistress of this house I was an outsider.

I tried to suppress my sadness and threw the divorce agreement in his face. “Sign it I will give way to you, two dogs and bitches. Also, mom is really dead.”

He slapped me down. “Don’t be shameless! You spent so much effort to marry me, how can I bear to leave you? Stop making trouble you are not clean anymore. Who would dare to want you if you leave? Look at how shabby you are you wear good clothes like cheap goods. What’s more, you have a blind mother. Don’t talk about her death every day, or you will really curse her to death later.”

The urn in his hand fell to the ground. He still had the nerve to talk about my mother, it was ridiculous.

My mother was blind because she rushed into the fire to save him when he was still young. My mother, who was damaged by smoke and lost her eyes, did not blame Matthew was still so kind to him. As he grew up, he only disliked my mother. His parents, thinking of our kindness, let us move in with them.

He touched my head when he was little and vowed, “I will marry you when I grow up.”

I remembered this sentence deeply I would stay for him even if someone pursued me. But I didn’t expect that I was the only one trapped in the memories of the past.

I collapsed on the ground and clenched my fists in pain; my nails deeply embedded in my flesh.

Ignoring the injuries on my body, I stumbled over and lay in the ashes, crying heartbreakingly.

I put my mother in the box and wiped my tears. “How about this, you give me your mother’s guide dog I will take it away. We won’t bother you anymore.”
