My Husband And His Stepmother Called Me Their “cash Cow” While Sleeping Together. Then He Trapped Me In A Cave To Die For My Money. How Do I Make Sure They Never See Daylight Again?
Judgment Day
About 10 minutes later the door opened. Evelyn and Kevin walked in flanked by two police officers. They looked nothing like the powerful, smug people they once were.
Evelyn was noticeably thinner, her hair streaked with more gray, her eyes sunken with exhaustion and bitterness. Kevin kept his head down unable to look anyone in the eye, the very picture of a pathetic coward.
The moment Evelyn saw me, a flash of pure hatred ignited in her eyes. She lunged towards me but was restrained by the officer at her side.
“You bitch! This is all your fault!”
she shrieked, her voice shrill.
“You killed your father-in-law and now you want to destroy the rest of us.”
I stood my ground unflinching, looking at her with a mixture of coldness and pity. A cornered animal can only snarl and snap.
The investigator slammed his hand lightly on the table.
“Evelyn, this is a police station not a marketplace. Control yourself or we will be forced to take measures.”
Evelyn fell silent but her eyes still burned with rage as she stared at me. The interrogation began. The investigator played the recording of Evelyn’s phone call with the man in prison. As her own voice filled the room discussing her murderous plot, her face turned from red to deathly pale.
“No… that’s not me… it’s been edited… it’s a fake,”
she stammered.
But then the hidden camera footage of her handing the bowl of poison to Arthur was played. The image was perfectly clear, irrefutable. She slumped into her chair, her body trembling. All her defiance, all her denials were meaningless against the damning evidence her own husband had so quietly collected.
Then it was Kevin’s turn. He was even more pathetic. When the recording of his conversation with me was played—the degrading words, the detailed plans to defraud me—he just clutched his head, buried his face on the table, and began to sob. The belated tears of a traitor.
I sat there and watched their downfall feeling no satisfaction, only a vast empty sadness. For greed, for lust, they had pushed themselves into the abyss, destroying not only my life but their own as well.
“Kevin,”
I said, my voice for the first time since this all began holding no hatred, only an immense weariness.
“Look at me.”
He slowly raised his head, his eyes red and swollen, full of guilt and fear.
“In the past seven years, have I ever done anything wrong to you or your family?”
He shook his head violently unable to speak.
“I devoted myself to this family. I treated your stepmother like my own mother. I trusted you completely. And what did I get in return? Deceit, betrayal, and a murder plot that was hidden for a decade. Did you ever feel a shred of guilt Kevin, even for a moment?”
He didn’t answer, just continued to cry. I couldn’t tell if his tears were real or fake anymore.
“And you,”
I turned to Evelyn who was sitting shell-shocked in her chair.
“You murdered an innocent woman, the woman whose place in this family you stole. You poisoned the mind of your own stepson turning him into your puppet, your accomplice. You destroyed my life and you destroyed the life of your husband. What did you gain from all of this? Money? Or your sordid love affair with a convict?”
Evelyn’s head snapped up, her eyes wild.
“What do you know? You had everything and I had nothing. I hate you. I hate all of you!”
She screamed like a wounded animal. Just then the door opened again. A man with a long scar across his face dressed in a prison jumpsuit was escorted in by two officers.
“Vince!”
Evelyn cried out, her eyes a mix of joy and despair.
The man didn’t look at her. His gaze was fixed on me—a cold, threatening stare.
“So you’re the little bitch who ruined everything,”
he said, his voice a low growl.
The investigator spoke.
“Vince Gallow, we have evidence that you masterminded Evelyn’s crimes from inside prison. Do you have anything to say?”
Vince smirked a sinister grin.
“Say? There’s nothing to say. Win or lose, that’s the game. My only regret is that I didn’t get to finish you off myself sooner.”
His words, utterly devoid of remorse, cast a chilling silence over the room. The true devil, the puppet master behind it all, had finally shown his face.
The appearance of Vince Gallow, the man who wore the scar of his criminal past, was the final piece that completed the horrifying puzzle of Evelyn’s crimes. He stood there in the solemn interrogation room without a trace of fear or repentance. His gaze on me was not that of a loser but of a venomous snake regretting only that it hadn’t struck its prey sooner.
He was the mysterious ex-husband, the one who had woven this web of evil with Evelyn from behind bars. Their sick love had become a deadly partnership willing to sacrifice anyone who stood in their way.
The interrogation didn’t need to continue. With Gallow’s arrogant indirect confession and the irrefutable evidence from my father-in-law’s USB drive, the full scope of their crimes was laid bare.
Evelyn was not just a murderer and a fraud; she was an accomplice who had aided and abetted a felon from prison. Kevin was not just an incestuous traitor; he was a pathetic pawn manipulated by his stepmother and her lover, turned into a tool for their filthy schemes.
Several months later, the final trial concluded one of the most complex and tragic family crime cases the city had seen. The sentences were severe, fitting the gravity of their actions.
Vince Gallow, as the mastermind with a long criminal record, received the highest penalty: life in prison without the possibility of parole. Evelyn, for her direct role in the murder and numerous other charges, was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. And Kevin, though the court considered mitigating factors of manipulation, still received a 20-year sentence for conspiracy, fraud, and accessory to murder.
