Chapter 72

“Have you sent everything to their house? Fix your work. If you get caught, you will be dead from me."

I stopped walking when I heard Ken's mom's voice.

I rubbed my stomach and peeked into their place.

She was talking to a man and gave him an envelope containing money. A lot of money.

The man looked at the envelope's contents and smiled when he saw the contents.

Who is the man she is talking to?

I hid in the plants so she couldn't see me.

"Of course, madam, I wouldn’t them caught me! You don’t trust me, huh? The person you approached is right!” The man roared with a big smile on his lips.

"Lower your voice, and maybe someone will hear you," Susing disobeyed the man.

Is the man the mistress of my mother-in-law?

I covered my mouth. Mom is old, and she’s flirting. The man looks young. In fairness, mom has taste.

"I want you to kill their son," I heard Susing say.

I peeked again.

I couldn't see the man's face because his back was turned to me.

"I'll do that," the man grinned, "it's just that the payment for that kind of thing is bigger. There were many CCTV cameras in their house, and I had a hard time hacking them. I can't even go inside the house because I can't hack the CCTV. I feel like they already know what you are planning," the man answered the mother.

What is mom planning? My brain is still loading about what they are talking about.

“My son is good at such things and has many friends. So you, fix your work. Make way for their son to disappear."

Who? Whose child? Who is Mama referring to?

"Why don't you just hit the woman, make sure the child will die, so it solves your not-so-big problem."

"You're not funny anymore! Could you do that thing? Make sure the child in her womb dies."

I caress my tummy.

"As long as you pay me more. Your son is rich, and if I kill your grandson, your son might hunt me down. My employees and I can't handle such a rich man."

Little by little, I understood what they were talking about.

"I will take care of you when something bad happens. And I want that thing to happen like an accident," mom smiled.

“Why do you want to kill your grandchild?” The man asks.

“I didn’t pay you to ask me questions.”

“Whatever. I’ll go first. I have a meeting with my client,” the man bid goodbye.

"Go through the back. My son is here, and I don't want him to see you. When Fiero sees you, he might suspect you. He has seen you twice," mom reminded him.

I looked at the man when he passed by my place. We both stared at each other, and he looked at my stomach and grinned. He said nothing and left.

I can only say one thing. I need to get out of here.

"What are you doing here? Have you been there before?!”

I was shocked when mom caught me.

I moved backwards when she yelled at me, and she looked nervous. My mama never raises her voice at me.

I heard everything, and it made me nervous. I hope my guts are wrong.

“Who do you want to kill?” I ask with confidence. I am not scared of my mother-in-law; she’s not a ghost, so why would I be afraid of her?

It’s a sin to take someone’s life.

“So, you heard everything,” she said sarcastically and grinned.

I step backwards when she comes near me.

“You want to kill my child?” I ask her straight to the point.

She raises her eyebrow at me when she looks at my womb.

“Are you sure that the child you’re carrying in your womb is my son’s child?”

What does she want to say? She changed the subject; she didn't even answer my question.

"Don't change the subject," I told her firmly.

"Maybe you're not stupid enough not to understand what we talked about," she said meaningfully.

“I don't believe that is Fiero's son. And if that's Fiero's son, I don't care," she said, full of anger.

Does she have a grudge against me?

"I didn't do anything bad to you; I know you don't like me, but why do you have to introduce women to my husband?!" I couldn't stop myself from yelling at her. I lost patience with my mother-in-law.

I understood her, but why? Why does she want to kill my child? I treated her with kindness. I was right that she didn’t like me for her son.

"You're still too innocent like your mother!"

I was startled by her scream. Nobody can hear us here because we are at the end of the house, and nobody comes here very much.

What is she saying?

"I don't know what you're talking about; my mother is not a home wrecker! And I’m not mistress!” I bravely answered her.

Her grin got more extensive, and she looked at me badly.

I can't believe we're in a situation like this, to the point where we both answer each other.

"Stupid, you are always stupid! I don't know what Fiero likes about you!” She shouted back at me.

"You know you're just adopted, right?" She grinned.

"I have known for a long time that you are only adopted. My son only married you because of the company of those who adopted you. The first time I saw you, I didn't want you anymore. I checked your background, and that's when I found out that you were just adopted," she said.

"I also found out who's your biological parents. Fate is very playful," she grinned and smiled sadly.

“You think that? You are the daughter of my husband's mistress," she laughed.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

"Hey, why are you so stupid? You are too stupid," she scolded me, "your real mother is a shit. And she snatches my husband from me. My husband left me because of your poor mother! I don't even know why Ramon left me for your mother. I'm richer than her!"

His eyes were full of anger.

My birth mother is her husband's mistress?

"I accept that I can't have children, but knowing that my husband left me because of an affair? And worst, I couldn’t accept it when my husband chose your biological mother! I’m rich than that prostitute woman!" She smiled bitterly.

"That's why I don't like you! I remembered everything my husband did to me! You are the son of my husband's mistress! You're going to die! Both of you and your son are plagued!” She said like crazy and held me tightly by the arm.

"Let go of me! I will report you to Fiero!” I told him, scared.

I tried to remove her hold on me.

"You're good at that! To report my son! Fiero won't believe you because I'm his mother! I raised him! So your child must also disappear! Get out of my way! You deserve to lose a child, so you can feel what happened to me! Your mother ruined my life!” She said like crazy as she tightened her grip on me.

I gathered my strength and pushed her.

I'm going to run.

I took a step to run, but she stood up quickly when I pushed her, and mother pulled my hair.

"I will kill that son of yours! When that happens, Fiero will leave you too!” She growled and pulled my hair.

“You should experience what I experienced!”

"Let go of me! I didn’t do anything bad to you!”

I struggled with her.

My scalp hurts because she pulled my hair. She also looks crazy.

What I didn't expect was that she suddenly pushed me hard. My back bumper was with something, and I fell hard along with that thing.

I groaned in pain.

My vision is blurry.

Suddenly I felt something fall from above, and it hit my forehead.
