Seven Months Pregnant When My Husband Faked His Death With My Sister

I was seven months pregnant when my husband and my sister jumped off a cliff together in a lovers' suicide.

They leaped from the mountaintop. No bodies were ever recovered.

I was still standing there, completely numb, when lines of text began drifting across my vision.

「This Sarah Simmons is so tragic. Warren Fox and Nanette Simmons faked their deaths, but Sarah ends up raising the baby and waiting on both sets of parents alone. She works herself to death before she's even thirty-five.」

「And the kid she raised turns out to be an ungrateful brat—calls her sister "Mom" instead. Can't even be bothered to visit Sarah's grave. The headstone's buried in weeds!」

「Oh, and she doesn't know this yet: the baby she carried after eight rounds of IVF is actually Nanette and Warren's!」

「Warren Fox was loaded, but Sarah never sees a dime of it. His parents grab everything after his so-called death!」

「They even fake being paralyzed so she has to wait on them hand and foot. They don't treat her like a human being!」

The tears that had been pouring down my face stopped like someone had shut off a valve.

……

The scrolling text was still going.

「Next up is the part where Sarah slaves away at odd jobs, raises the kid alone, and takes care of two "disabled" in-laws. Pure misery from here on out.」

「Ugh, I can't even watch anymore. Once Sarah's dead, Warren and Nanette come back. His parents aren't paralyzed anymore, her parents aren't angry anymore, and the whole happy family gets on with their wonderful life raising the kid and making money.」

My mother shoved me hard from behind：「This is all your fault! If you'd just divorced Warren sooner and let your sister have him, they wouldn't be dead!」

My father slapped me across the face：「You're a jinx. You killed your own sister!」

I stood there frozen, half-wondering if the grief had broken something in my brain and I was hallucinating.

Then the text appeared again.

「In-laws blaming her is one thing, but her own parents turning on her too? Warren and Nanette were the ones having the affair. They staged this whole thing because they were afraid of what people would say. And now Sarah's the one carrying all the blame.」

I was stunned for three seconds. It took me three minutes to accept all of it.

Then I went numb, handled the funeral arrangements for Warren and Nanette, and had both their identity records canceled.

The moment I finished the paperwork, my mother-in-law called.

「Sarah, get over here now! Something terrible's happened—your father-in-law and I can't even move!」

I hid the cancellation documents, then rushed to the Whitneys' house.

When I walked through the door, both of them were lying in bed.

Mrs. Whitney burst into tears the instant she saw me.

With trembling hands, she held out two medical reports. The word "paralysis" screamed from the page.

「Sarah, your father-in-law and I just couldn't bear it—losing Warren like that. The grief was too much. We've both lost the ability to move.」

「From now on, you're all we have. You'll have to take care of us!」

And right on cue, the scrolling text went wild across my vision again.

「These two are healthier than I am, and they're faking paralysis so Sarah has to serve them.」

「Every single day Sarah has to spoon-feed them, bathe them, deal with their bedpans—and they still call her a jinx and say she's not trying hard enough.」

「She collapses multiple times from exhaustion. Nearly loses the baby.」

「Honestly, better if that ungrateful kid is never born. Otherwise Sarah's working three jobs to raise it AND wait on these two frauds, and she drops dead delivering takeout before she hits thirty-five!」

Mr. Whitney barked impatiently from his bed：「Your mother's talking to you—are you deaf? My son is dead because of you. You owe us. You're responsible for both of us now!」

The text kept scrolling.

「Sarah, please don't feel guilty—none of this is your fault! Get rid of the baby and run!」

「Warren Fox still has a company and two luxury villas under his name. After his fake death, his parents quietly inherit everything. Sarah doesn't get a cent!」
