Three Hundred Sixty Letters And A Death Certificate That Was A Lie Chapter 09

“I’m telling you-Evelyn is the Sterling family’s daughter. No one gets to lay a hand on her like that. If you ever bother her again, I’ll beat you every time I see you!”

My brother, Declan Sterling, had already called in several large security guards to drag Gavin away.

But a woman suddenly screamed and rushed forward, throwing herself into Gavin’s arms.

“Gavin, stop losing your mind!”

“I’m pregnant! Just divorce Evelyn Sterling already. Let’s go to Ashford together-I’ll give you your, child!”

It was Vanessa.

She clung to him tightly, crying uncontrollably, one hand still pressed to her stomach.

Behind her stood Travis.

His expression was dark, violent, and full of intent. He looked like if Gavin didn’t take responsibility today, he would kill him on the spot.

Declan and Adrian quietly stepped in front of me, shielding me.

Someone already had a phone out, calling the police.

Gavin’s face turned completely pale.

He pushed Vanessa away with shaking hands, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

“Vanessa… get rid of the baby.”

“I love Evelyn. I’m not leaving her.”

“It’s my fault. Whatever you want for compensation, I’ll give it to you-but marriage? No.”

Vanessa froze. Her tears dropped one after another, disbelief written all over her face.

Travis snapped. He grabbed Gavin by the collar and punched him without hesitation.

“You think you can screw over my sister and walk away?! I’ll kill you!”

He hit him again and again like he was beating a man who didn’t deserve to stand.

Gavin collapsed under the blows, his face quickly covered in blood.

He lost consciousness before Travis finally stopped.

But the moment Travis straightened up, police rushed in from behind and pinned him to the floor.

“Don’t move! You’re under arrest for attempted murder. Come with us.”

The police had already searched the Hale residence.

They found the shoes Travis wore that night, still stained with blood matching mine.

“Travis! Let him go! I made him do it-don’t touch him!”

Vanessa tried to rush forward, but officers immediately restrained her.

“You’re coming with us too.”

After the Hale siblings were taken away, Gavin was sent to the emergency room.

Finally… my world went quiet.

Adrian squeezed my hand gently. “Evelyn, let’s go home.”

I held his hand back tightly. “Okay.”

Travis was sentenced to twenty years in prison. He insisted he acted alone.

With no solid proof tying Vanessa directly to the attack-and her being pregnant at the time-the

was discharged, he never came looking for me again.

ed Adrian in a grand ceremony.

Three months later, I became pregnant again.

To help me recover emotionally, my family suggested a trip abroad with Adrian.

Before leaving the country, I heard news about Gavin one last time.

They said he waited outside the Hale residence with a knife.

He killed Vanessa, and her unborn child died with her.

Then Gavin went home, cooked a meal, and poisoned it with rat poison.

He ate it with Margaret, and they both died at the dinner table.

By the time I heard it, I felt nothing.

No anger. No sadness.

Just like wind passing through, and then it was gone.

I held my husband’s hand and walked forward, toward the life that finally belonged to me.
