When He Unknowingly Defended His Mother’s KillerChapter 1

Aria's POV

My mother-in-law was killed when my husband’s assistant ran a red light and hit her. Yet somehow, the court ruled that she was just trying to scam some money.

Still trying to defend her, I filed three lawsuits, but also lost all three.

Just as I was about to appeal for the fourth time, I discovered that her body had been stolen.

I was about to call the police when my husband, Caleb Morgan, a lawyer, showed up and tossed two thousand onto the table.

“You should already know,” he said coldly, “I’ve never lost a case. No matter how much evidence you think you have, your mother’s lawsuit will never win. If I said your mom was faking it, she's faking it. All your appeals are just your way of trying to squeeze out more compensation. But don’t bother, I already had her body sold on the black market and got two grands for it. Consider that as the full value of her life. And stop bothering Brielle.”

That was when it hit me. He thought it was my mother who died.

I pushed the money back toward him. “I don’t have the right to take this.”
