Chapter 26
It was Rosalie’s phone, and on the screen was a photo of her with the man she had been seeing recently.
Rosalie panicked. “Rowen, I have nowhere else to go. You disappeared, and I had no choice but to turn to him since I’m pregnant…“> “I’m doing this for our child too. I can’t let the baby and me end up homeless on the streets.”}
Her words sounded sincere, but to Rowen, they were nothing but lies.
“You deceived me before and caused Alicia’s child to die. Now, a life for a life! Alicia would forgive me if she knew!“}]
Rowen couldn’t bear to listen any longer. His expression grew wild and unhinged.§
The next moment, he struck Rosalie’s belly with a stick. Blood instantly flowed between her legs.}
Frozen in shock, Rosalie’s lips trembled as a piercing scream erupted from her throat.}]
She begged Rowen desperately, but he wouldn’t listen to a word.
In recent days, he had been running around like a rat, mentally torn apart and broken to pieces.}
With Jalen and me keeping a close watch on him, no one was willing to hire him when he tried to find work again.
“As long as your child is gone, Alicia will forgive me.”
Strike after strike landed on Rosalie, and soon she lost consciousness.
When Rowen finally snapped out of it, the floor was soaked in blood.§ Panicked, he dropped the stick and fled immediately.
When Jalen and I left the company later, we ran into Rowen on the street.
His hands were covered in fresh blood, and his face was full of desperation.
“Alice, I beat Rosalie to death–the one who hurt you. Can you forgive me? Can we go back to how things were? She’s a liar! Actually, I’ve always liked you!”
Rowen spoke with anguish, replaying memories over and over.
He thought about the happiest times–marrying me, starting a business, coming home to see me pregnant.
If Rosalie hadn’t lied to him, how could things have come to this?}
“Rowen, I never liked you.“&
In front of him, I took Jalen’s hand.§
Jalen pulled me close into his arms.§
“And Rowen, that child Rosalie was carrying was yours.”>
Though I could barely believe it myself, after Rowen’s suspicion at the hospital, Rosalie had gotten a paternity test done. But Rowen never believed her and didn’t dare trust her again.”
Rowen’s mind went completely blank. All the sounds around him faded away, leaving only my words ringing in his ears. He had killed both his children.”
He laughed hysterically, lying on the ground muttering to himself like a madman.}}
Rosalie’s body was found, and Rowen was soon arrested.”
In the end, he would join Rosalie in hell.
As for me, once the company stabilized, I planned to marry Jalen.
Through everything, Jalen quietly stood by me–never interfering with my decisions, but always there when I needed him most. Now that those who wronged me had received their retribution, it was time for me to reclaim my happiness.
One beautiful day, Jalen proposed.
My mother had fully recovered and cried tears of joy as she watched me accept the proposal
Our wedding was set for next month, and I asked Charmaine to be my bridesmaid.
She had been my rock through the darkest days, guiding me and supporting me.&
Now, the person who loves me most and the one I love the most was by my side.!! My happiness had finally arrived.
