Chapter 10

Penulis: Amber Fleck
As we walked back to the station, Oscar broke the silence. He said, "Eric, I need to apologize. I was wrong to think you killed Ryan because of Enya."

I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine. Maybe Enya overestimated how important she was to me."

What I never expected was that Enya would request to visit me.

When I saw her through the glass again, her hands were trembling so badly that she could barely hold the receiver.

"Eric... I'm so sorry..."

She wept like a child.

    As we walked back to the station, Oscar broke the silence. He said, "Eric, I need to apologize. I was wrong to think you killed Ryan because of Enya."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine. Maybe Enya overestimated how important she was to me."What I never expected was that Enya would request to visit me.When I saw her through the glass again, her hands were trembling so badly that she could barely hold the receiver."Eric... I'm so sorry..."She wept like a child."I had no idea you had gone through all of that. Back then, Ryan and I truly had nothing between us. I met him first, but the person I fell in love with was you. You were the only one in my heart from the very beginning, Eric."He lied to me. He told me those tragic stories about his past and made me feel sorry for him. I only got together with him because I wanted justice for him. I wanted to help him get revenge on you. That is why I even replaced your sperm during the IVF procedure."Divorce was never what I wa

  • My Ex-Wife Judges Me for Murder   Chapter 9

    As Ryan thrashed against his restraints, I kicked the chair over, and he hit the ground in the same position he had been in when I first laid eyes on him."Ryan, the day you ran over my father was your birthday. Did you know that even if you hadn't asked him to meet you that day, he would have come looking for you three days later on the exact date you first came to my house? That day, to my father, was the start of your new life."When you received that overseas job offer, I was even happier than you were. I told my parents before you could. That day, you asked my father whether he wanted a capable son who couldn't stay by his side, or a mediocre one who would always be there for him. My father said, 'As long as Eric is happy, that's all I care about.'"Too bad he never got to finish his sentence. Back then, he wanted to send me abroad. I gave up that opportunity and stayed in the country because of you. I would never have another chance like that in my life, but he never blamed me

    I swallowed hard, struggling to make sense of his confession. I demanded, "What did you say?" Ryan lifted my chin, forcing me to face him. "Your family took me in for 13 years, so I ran your father over 13 times—one for each year I had to pretend to be grateful. From the moment you brought me to the city, do you really think you were some kind-hearted savior? "Eric, you were just lucky. You were born with everything I never had. I was the one born into the wrong family. I was the one who had nothing."I wrote that letter to reach you, lured you to that village, and let my uncle beat me—all to change my fate. I earned every bit of what I have today by myself, so why should I owe you anything? "I'm better than you, which is why Enya cheated on you. Your parents refused to accept me, so they deserved to die."His words cut deeper than any wound ever could.He threw a settlement agreement at my face. In the bottom-right corner, I saw Mom's signature, which looked like a hasty sc

  • My Ex-Wife Judges Me for Murder   Chapter 7

    As the accused, Ezra Beckett, I submitted the following statement."My father passed away in a car accident six years ago. The collision took place on a road that was still under construction, and there were no surveillance cameras in the area. "Based on statements from eyewitnesses, dashcam footage from the dealership that had serviced the other vehicle, and the traffic police's reconstruction using skid marks from the scene, the investigation concluded that my father was solely responsible."The driver of the other vehicle was Ryan. My mother signed a settlement agreement. Later that same year, she died of a stroke. My ex-wife, Enya, arranged both their funerals."Everyone involved concealed the truth from me, insisting I wouldn't be able to bear it. I lived through it all without knowing, becoming an orphan without ever understanding why. Every single day, I looked forward to the birth of the child my wife was carrying, never once suspecting that it was fathered by the man who

    Five seconds later, the screen went black.Oscar's face turned deathly pale. "This isn't a live feed. It's a prerecorded video," he said.I laughed and said, "I never said it was live surveillance."A hard slap struck my face, knocking me to the ground. I felt a tooth fly from my mouth and land a few feet away. The metallic taste of blood instantly filled my mouth.Enya lunged at me and grabbed my collar. She demanded, "Where's Ryan? What did you do to him?"I silently watched the woman who had once shared my bed. Now, she was crying for another man."You just saw Ryan, didn't you? You simply failed to recognize him. Why are you yelling at me?"Oscar's face darkened. "We saw him? Where?"I lazily pointed back the way we'd come."Right there. Ryan was all beneath that overpass. You spent ten minutes driving over him. Not one of you looked back."All that followed was the heavy crash of Enya's knees slamming onto the concrete. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed like a pu

    From that point forward, I stopped living as Eric Beckett. After everything I had endured, I chose to become Ezra, the man who would make them pay.Oscar lunged forward and seized me by the collar. "Where's Ryan's body, Eric? We already have enough evidence against you. Stop playing games."A faint smile crossed my face. "I have no idea where Ryan's body is. I only know where the living Ryan is."Everyone in the room froze. "Ryan's alive?"Tears streamed down Enya's face as she dropped to her knees. "Thank God..."But Oscar wasn't buying it. "Are you trying to drag this out? Our investigation shows that Ryan had no connection to the other five victims. You still haven't told us why you killed them."I held up my shackled hands. "I'm a dead man walking. I've got nothing to lose. It's Ryan who's running out of time."Oscar instantly tensed. It had already been five full days since my arrest. If Ryan had truly been imprisoned without food or water for all that time, h
