Chapter 21 : Standing alone in the funeral hall , I felt nothing .
No grief , no sorrow only an eene sense of liberation Edgars passing meant nothing to me .
A marriage that lasted only a short time had dragged me into an endless , buming hell My mind drifted back to the hospital visit just days ago .
Edgar had accompanied me there , and for a fleeting moment , I thought he had finally accepted our life together .
I was wrong .
Edgar could never forget Sharon , no matter what I did for him .
I had given up everything my dignity , my body and even carried his child , just to destroy their happiness .
Yet , it was never enough .
When are you willing to do a DNA test ? he asked that night , his voice indifferent .
I was perched on the bed , but he remained on the couch , too engrossed in his laptop to even spare me a glance .
We had planned to do the test yesterday , but Edgar was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital .
He had been looking pale lately , but hadnt given it much thought .
I dont know .
Can we wait until after hes bom ? I tried to negotiate … Edgars gaze snapped to me , his expression hard I dont want to waste time on something uncertain .
His words stung .
You still dont believe this child is yours ? Well know once the test results come out , Grace He stood abruptly and walked to the wardrobe , rummaging through it .
I frowned as he pulled out something and tumed back to me .
A pregnancy test.X I blinked in confusion .
What do you want me to do with this ? He tossed it onto the bed beside me .
I found this under my pillow the same day I signed the divorce papers with Sharon My heart clenched .
And ? % His next words made my blood run cold Sharon was pregnant .
With my child A bitter smile curled my lips .
Are you blind , Edgar ? My voice shook with disbelief .
You were there when her lover claimed that child as his .
What were you thinking ? 7 Edgar remained silent , but his expression told me everything .
He still believed the child was his I let out a sharp , mocking laugh .
You still refuse to see the truth , dont you ? Sharon the woman you love is even more rotten than you think , His jaw clenched .
Shut your mouth , Grace His eyes blazed with fury .
I told you never to speak ill of Sharon ! I scoffed .
Then what ? Should I talk about your ugliness instead ? His hands balled into fists .
1 dont have time for this And with that , he grabbed his laptop and stormed out of the room , leaving me behind in the suffocating silence .
I clenched my fists , staring at the pregnancy test in my hand .
Then , with deliberate force , I crushed it into pieces .
Youre really in the way of my happiness , Sharon .
That was the last night I saw Edgar alive .
Or so I thought .
Three days later , I returned .
Edgar was a ghost of the man he once was pale , thin , and confined to a wheelchair .
The mighty Edgar Wright , now nothing but a weak , pathetic shell A nurse had been hired to care for him , a task I had no interestin Where have you been ? he asked weakly when I entered the penthouse .
I shrugged .
None of your business .
His fingers twitched on the armrest .
Should a wife abandon her sick husband ? I turned , arching a brow at his frail frame .
I didnt expect you to be sick , Edgar .
Why would I take care of you ? Why not ask Sharon to donate her bone marrow again ? I folded my arms .
Didnt you say she loved you ? His hands curled into fists , but there was nothing he could do now ! Sharon was looking for me , he muttered , his voice sharp despite his weakness .
What did you do ? !! I smirked .
Maybe she wanted me to let you go .
% And then I walked away , ignoring his feeble protests I had come back for one reason only to take what was rightfully mine .
Sharon had left behind an impressive collection of jewelry when she divorced Edgar A fool , truly With my goal accomplished .
I left the penthouse , not sparing a single glance at the man I once called my husband .
He was nothing to me now.
A sickly , soon to- be bankrupt man held no value in my life .
I sold all of Sharons jewelry that same afternoon .
With the money , I would get rid of this wretched baby.X 17 AM D But first I had another stop to make Sharons apartment I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I spotted her .

Her face glowed with happiness- happiness that should have been mine .
Til make sure that smile disappears forever , Sharon She had always been lucky .
Even after divorcing Edgar , she found a man who truly loved her .
Meanwhile , I had been nothing but a shadow .

She stepped out , her face etched with grief I pulled my hoodie over my head , adjusting the mask that concealed my identity .
I moved toward her unnoticed .
Silent .
A shadow in her moment of despair … Then , in one swift motion- The blade sank into her side .

She twisted , her wide , tear filled eyes locking onto mine ? I smiled .
A slow , triumphant smirk ⠀ With a sharp pull , I withdrew the knife … Blood spilled over her dress ..
