Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 112

Facing the camera, Melody tilted her head just enough for the soft lighting to catch the glisten of unshed tears in her eyes.

She exhaled shakily, clutching a crumpled handkerchief like a delicate heroine in a tragic romance.

"You all heard Laura’s sob story," she began, her voice wavering at just the right moments, carefully orchestrated to tug at heartstrings.

"She painted me as a villain in front of the entire world. But no one—no one—ever gave me a chance to speak. Not even Leo."

At the mention of his name, her lips quivered, her fingers tightening around the damp fabric.

"I was left alone to rot in the darkness of the prison. That place is hell for a blameless person, who suffers in silence.

As an orphan from a poor background, I didn't have my parents or anyone else to help me. So, the government took pity on me and provided me with a lawyer for legal proceedings."

As she mentioned her pitiful condition at length, I grew restless. Her sympathy card exhausted my patience.

"She’s distracting you!" I snapped, slamming my palm against the table, the sharp sound cutting through the tension in the room.

"I don’t give a damn about her sob story—find my son, now!"

The officers hesitated, the flickering glow of the monitor reflecting in their concerned eyes.

Officer Smith tried to placate me. "Miss Laura, we’re doing everything we can—"

"I don’t need efforts," I seethed, my voice shaking with barely contained rage. "I need results!"

She was in tears as she said,

"It was Leo, who didn't love the wife forced upon him, he hated Laura for her ordinary appearance and submissive nature. He wanted someone passionate like me, the one who could stand by his side as his partner.

I loved him, following his every command blindly. So, when he asked me to take care of Laura's baby, I understood my assignment and acted accordingly."

She shifted all the blame on Leo conveniently and listed her sacrifices, speaking dejectedly.

"I endured every hardship, even took the blame for him. My life is nothing but a sad story of unrequited love.

My boyfriend, Leo, didn't consider my love ever despite my devotion and refused to marry me. That cold-hearted man didn't spare a shred of love for me. I am just a worthless fan girl for him.

He ravished my loyalty and threw me out of his life like trash."

Until the end of the video, Melody was a sobbing mess, she let her tears flow freely and asked questions.

"So, please tell me, dear viewers!

Where am I wrong?

"Mr. Leo is a family man. He is deeply in love with his wife. That's why he didn't marry that offender."

"Melody is an ingrate. Mr. Leo gave her an opportunity to repent her sins, but she stabbed him in the back."

Melody's announcement led everyone to condemn her conduct overwhelmingly. The netizens bashed her crazily.

But I was looking at all the commotion like an outsider, as if they had nothing to do with me. People were praising Leo and my couple; Melody's crimes made them believe that we were meant to be. But I only cared about my son, he was plucked from my arms cruelly.

The IT experts were trying to trace his location, but their efforts weren't successful. It felt that the night of Christmas was longer than usual.

Bright fed Jane and put her to bed, promising that Zoe would be back in the morning. She asked for a pinky promise.

"Are you one hundred percent sure that he will come back in the morning, daddy?"

Bright crouched down beside Jane, his large hands gently wrapping around her tiny fingers.

"Are you one hundred percent sure that Zoe will come back in the morning, Daddy?"

Bright smiled, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.

"A thousand percent sure, princess."
