I took a cab home and started packing while booking the earliest flight I could find.
Our bedroom was filled with things Adrian and I had bought as a couple. We had once loved each other deeply.
I pulled out my phone and called the number from three years in the future. "When did they get together?"
The person on the other end was silent for several seconds before answering. "They slept together on the day of Dad's funeral. Later, Adrian also allowed Sophia and her mother to break into the house and push Mom down the stairs."
My hands started shaking. Tears streamed down my face.
So, Adrian had betrayed me five years ago.
For all these years, I had been the only fool.
I gave a bitter, self-mocking laugh, grabbed my suitcase, and prepared to leave.
But suddenly, the bedroom door was kicked open.
Adrian stormed in with bloodshot eyes and grabbed me by the throat. "Audrey, have you lost your mind? Why did you spread Sophia's private photos? How could you be so cruel?"
His grip suddenly cut off my breath. I desperately slapped at his hand and struggled to speak. "I... didn't..."
He didn't believe me. "It has to be you!"
Jane rushed over, crying as she slapped me across the face. "Sophia is trying to kill herself right now! If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"
My head spun, and I collapsed to the floor. Everything in front of me became blurry.
Then Adam waved his hand. Six or seven men immediately rushed into the room.
"Stop wasting your breath on her. Since she likes spreading private photos, let's spread hers too. We'll make her pay for what she did to Sophia."
I stared at him in shock.
The brother who had once loved and protected me was now treating me like his worst enemy.
The men rushed toward me and started tearing at my clothes.
Within seconds, my clothes were ripped apart.
"You can't do this to me!"
Crying, I crawled toward Adrian and wrapped my arms around his leg. "Adrian, I'm pregnant!"
