My Evil Husband by Sweet Mia
Chapter 72

Anna POV

"What" Jack shouted in surprise.

I was shocked too as Jack had told me his stepmother ran away. And now Maria is telling us that she was innocent.

"Yes. She was innocent. It was your father who had killed her to make you believe that she ran away so that he could manipulate you." Maria said with a sigh.

I looked at Jack who was looking at Maria with a stunned expression. He was looking like a person who had lost everything.

"He killed her exactly like he had killed Alice. First rape then strangled her to death so that you could be like him. Poor girl." Maria told us sadly.

I just can't understand her. She was sad that Alice and Ella (his stepmother) died but she was happy when she got to know that I am dead.

And she also wanted to kill my children and would have done that if Mr. Williams didn't hire Jane.

She could have killed on the day when they went home if Charlotte wasn't with them.

I am grateful for all of them to keep my babies safe. If something ever happens to them then I will die.

"But my father had loved her. Then why would he kill her? He didn't even raise his hands on her for once." Jack questioned her with a shaky voice.

Maria snorted and answered "He didn't raise his hand on her huh. He was a smart son of a bitch. He knew what and how to do things. He had hit and beat her but never in front of you and charlotte. He had done many things with her like beating her with a belt until she passed out. I was there to witness it. She loved you and Charlotte like she loved Alan. You all were her angels. "

Jack leaned back and stood with the support of the wall. He was looking like a shattered person and I felt bad for them.

I went close to him and held his hand to support him. He looked at me with teary eyes and a broken look.

I am not comforting him as a wife. I am doing it as a human because no matter what happens I won't forget my humanity.

"How do you know about that?" Rose asked her with narrowed eyes.

"He was the one who told me or more as the words slipped out of his tongue when he was giving me instruction to drug him." She said nonchalantly.

Oh, God. That man was a devil in human form. He was so dangerous and I am glad that he won't disturb us anymore.

[Sure Anna. ??]

Then she narrowed her eyes on Mr. Williams and said "But how did you get to know that it was me who had drugged Jack."

He chuckled and said "I started to doubt you since the day I got to know that Jack didn't reach the hospital on the day of the delivery. Arnold and Jack have one similarity they love their children even in a fucked up way. You told us that Arnold had never missed the delivery of his children no matter how much he hated Alice."

Then he continued "But it was only a suspicion. Nothing else. But still, my gut feeling was telling me to tell Jack to keep a nanny for the babies. So I hired Jane. She is an agent who works for the FBI. So she knew how to keep Anna and babies safe from everyone."

He looked at Jack then said, "So when John told me that he had found cocaine in his body in a heavy amount then I went to his house and checked all the cameras and that's when I had found that you are the culprit." "Well now what. Are you going to kill me?" She asked them without any hint of fear.

Jack removed my hand from his and walked toward Maria and said "I wish I could kill you. But I won't. Want to know why? Because I had treated you like my mother."

"What was my mistake in all this? If you wanted revenge then you should aim at my father, who was your culprit, not me. You ruined me, Maria. You ruined my whole life. I hate you. I hope you suffer." He told her coldly. Then he took some steps back and announced "You have only 15 minutes to leave this house. Your ticket has been booked. So leave and stay with your daughter."

Then his voice turned cold and hard "But don't you dare come into my way again. Stay away from my family."

With that, he strode out of the room quickly. He must be very unhappy and sad right now.

I looked at Maria as she was still staring at the door from where Jack had left.

"You shouldn't have done that Maria. But I want to know why did you feed me Salty and spicy food in the initial days of my marriage?" I asked.

I always wanted to ask this question from her but I let it go with the time.

"Because Arnold told me to test you. And I know this sounds silly but I really wanted to try this on you to see whether you would complain about me to Jack or not." She shrugged

"Indeed it sounds silly," Rose yelled

"I always thought that you were a decent person. But I didn't know that you would try to kill my children." I said with a sad smile.

Then I turned serious and continued "But if you think that you could kill my children and I would let you then you are wrong. I can do anything for my babies even if it's meant to kill someone. I will not hesitate to do it." "Leave" I announced in a cold voice.

She gave me a last look and left the room. I sighed and turned toward Rose and Mr. Williams who were looking at me in concern.

"I should go and check on him." I excused myself.

"Are you coming back with us, Anna." Mr. Williams asked me

I looked at him in his eyes which were similar to mine and said "I will tell you later."

I ran upstairs and walked inside our previous room and saw that Jack was sitting on the bed with his face hanging down.

Our babies were not present in the room and Jane was not here too. They all must be in the babies' room.

He didn't notice my presence. I moved toward him and stood in front of him.

He wrapped his hands on my waist and buried his face on my stomach and started crying.

I could hear his loud sobs and my heart was hurting while watching him in this condition.

He was hugging me very tightly and was crying like a baby who had something and was complaining about it to his mother.

After a few minutes, his sobs died and he looked at me with bloodshot eyes while tears were falling continuously.

"I always thought that she had left us because we were not her real children. She was very young and was only 9 years older than me. So I thought that she wanted to live her life and didn't want to be tied down with 2 stepchildren. I was so wrong, Anna. She loved us so much." He wept.

"No one loves me. And when someone did, my father snatched that person from me." He whispered sadly.

My tears were falling too but I had to be strong for myself and for him.

We are fucked up in our own ways. I know that he loves me but I don't because I don't know what love is.

I have to replace myself before replaceing love or loving him or anyone else. In fact, I have to learn how to love myself.

"I am sorry, Anna. But please don't leave me. I love you so much. Please I can't live without you and our babies." He whimpered

"If you really love me then do something for me," I said without any emotions.

He wiped his tears and said, "I will do everything for you."

"Divorce me," I said

Hello guys

Till then
