My Mother Killed Me For Her Stepdaughter novel Chapter 54

Shawn Brown's Perspective

I met Winnie Smith when I was eighteen. She descended like an angel into my dark world and brought me endless hope.

We came from similar backgrounds—poor families—but she was always more optimistic than me, and I fell deeply in love with her.

With her encouragement, I started my own business after graduation. I don't know if it was luck, but within just two years, I became the CEO of a big company.

I thought it was all because of my own ability—not only did I achieve success from nothing, ut I also gave Winnie a life beyond her class.

I proposed to her, wanting to spend my life loving her. The second year after we married, she suddenly said she wanted to introduce me to her parents.

Although my life was better than it had been, the poverty of my past haunted me like a curse, and I couldn't bring myself to meet her family. I feared that revisiting those times would only remind me of my shame.

Later, Winnie gave birth to our son, and our life seemed even more complete and happy.

I thought I was a deeply loving person, capable of loving Winnie for the rest of my life.

I started to pay more attention to Lindsay, and over time, I even began to neglect Winnie. Our son, under my influence, even started to like Lindsay too.

I knew Winnie was hurt, but I was like someone bewitched. I didn't care about her anymore.

It wasn't until the anniversary day that I truly wounded her.

That day, she left me for the first time.
