My Evil Husband by Sweet Mia novel 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.
