Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 133

Holy cow!

I slapped my hand on my mouth to stifle a short scream that emitted, grabbing on to the nearest person: Henry. My shoulders jumped to my ears as I bounced reflexively, hopping like a startled bunny.

"Brother?

You and Melody?"

My brother's regular visits, his influence on her, and now this confession has shriveled in my stomach. It was challenging for me to accept this craziness.

A few minutes ago, I was happy that Henry had retained the thought of visiting this snow-covered mountain, but unfortunately, this contentment was short-lived. The revelation of Melody's love interest left me momentarily stunned. Although my puny brain grappled to process this shock and reconcile with the reality, I was certain of one thing: Henry was my top priority.

My brother had sacrificed his peace and time for my betterment, so if Melody was the woman in his heart, I wouldn't let my dark past hinder his new journey. He was free from my side to marry her as his wife.

Henry had never shown interest in any other woman, and I repeatedly confirmed that he wasn't gay. So, I swallowed the sourness of grudges for the greater good.

"Brother, don't hold back only because of me. I have no objection to your relationship with Melody."

"What the actual fuck!"

Henry's jaw tightened as his sudden outburst curled his lips with disgust, his fiery voice pierced through the air.

"How can you even think that Melody and I can ever be a thing, Laura?

Am I this bad in your eyes?"

Henry's every word dripped with seething contempt, trembling my body with the force of his rage, he was ablaze with fury.

"I have no mercy for your tormentors, Laura. And for Melody …

She hurt you so much that once I thought about ending her life with my own hands.

I won't even spare a glance for her."

When she walked towards the police van, I couldn't help but have mixed emotions for Melody, her jail time was going to be much harder because of her recent self-awareness.

She raised her head and glanced at Henry for the last time before sitting in the van, her words carved on my soul.

"I kept my word, Henry."

A chill ran down my spine.

Her lips curved into the faintest, most sorrowful smile.

"I won’t harm your sister."

The door slammed shut.

And Melody was gone.
