Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

The officers started searching through the apartment. The first thing they found was the lifeless body of an old woman that had been stabbed in the back at least three times. They shrouded her lifeless body as soon as possible and then started investigating.

There were bloodied footsteps all over the floor, presumably from the killer, which based on the 911 call from the child, was done by the crazed mother.

The officers came in six, and four were dispatched to track the mother, who already ran away. Meanwhile, the two officers followed the bloodied footsteps that led to a locked door.

The officers stood at each side of the door. They looked at each other for a split second before the male officer tried to open the door, which surprisingly was locked inside.

Thus, the female officer tried to knock on the door.

"W—Who's there!?"

They heard a boy's voice, presumably around six or seven years old. They also heard gasps from other boys inside the room. So they quickly identified them as the sons who called 911.

"This is the police. You can open the door now," the female officer said.

"H—How about our mother? Where is she?" Aaron asked while on full guard.

"She ran away, the other officers are searching for her," the male officer replied. "Please open the door. It's okay, it's all safe now."

Aaron looked over his shoulder and saw her little brothers hiding behind him. They were so scared they didn't even dare to speak.

"We are safe now. Nothing will hurt us anymore," Aaron said as he tried to pacify his brothers.

"But what will we do next, Big bro? Mommy is evil, Gran is…." Nathan almost cried when he remembered all the evil screams and curses that their Mommy had made before. Their Mommy claimed that she killed Gran with a knife, and their big brother had also witnessed Gran's death.

Aaron went silent for a while and then replied, "We have Boss Mackie. We also have Aunt Chloe. She will protect us."

"She will?"

"She promises me that she will…." Aaron said. Though he was just a child, he could sense that Aunt Chloe was genuine to them and seemed happy taking care of them as well.

"Um, okay then, let's go to Aunty. She will take care of us…."

"Yeah, I miss Aunty."

"I want to eat her cooking again…."

Thus, the boys were pacified by the idea that their Aunt would care for them.

Truthfully, they always had more fun and joy whenever their Mommy shoved them all to Aunt Chloe, so they had to spend the whole day with her.

She was very patient and sweet, but she also looked fragile. So the boys dared not make too much of a mess because they didn't want to make their Aunt sad, and Boss Mackie would scold them if they did.

After the boys were pacified, they worked together to push the couch away and then pulled the broom to unlock the door.

Aaron opened the door from inside and slowly pushed the door open.

The officers saw four boys, the biggest one at the front, while his little brothers hid behind him. They looked terrified, but thankfully, none of them seemed to get hurt.

They crouched to cover the sight of the boys, then each carried two boys in their arms.

"Close your eyes now, okay?" The officer instructed, making sure they wouldn't be able to see their grandmother's corpse.

The three younger ones covered their eyes instantly, but Aaron refused to.

He rested his chin on the officer's shoulder and stared at the corpse of his Gran that had been covered with a black shroud.

He already saw her dying, so it didn't disturb him too much after the first shock.

But the image of his crazed mother and Gran struggling to save Aaron by holding his crazy mother's ankle would haunt the little boy's dream. It was a nightmare worthy of a lifetime.

The officers put them inside their car and said, "We're going to the police station where it's very safe. You guys can rest assured."

The little boys nodded and sat silently while Aaron asked, "What about Mommy? Will she go to jail?"

"…" The officers looked at each other and replied, "We will see."

"Please don't let my mother see us anymore," Aaron asked. "She wants to kill us. I don't want my brothers to get hurt either…."

The officers were shocked by how much understanding this six-year-old boy had. They pitied him so much, knowing Aaron must've gone through a lot since he was the oldest.

He was probably the one who witnessed everything and also called 911. It must've taken a huge mental toll on him.

"She will never see all of you anymore. She will be in jail… for a long time," the officer said. They also got the news from the other officer that they had found the mother crying and howling like a madwoman in the middle of the park.

She kept yelling Vincent Gray's name for an unknown reason, so they'd have to investigate further for the motive of the murder of an elderly woman and attempted murder of four little boys, something that was unthinkable to be done by a mother.

The officers didn't want the little boys to see their mother because they might get hysterical, so they drove away before the officers who arrested Chelsea returned.

**

The boys were escorted to a different room, but the younger ones were allowed to rest. So they only interviewed the oldest one.

Aaron told them everything, from the moment their mother became a bit weird after their father's abandonment to the attack that led to her disfigured face, Uncle Vincent Gray's help for the family, and then the abuse they suffered under her hands.

He told them about the murder of his Gran and also how their mother tried to open the door to no avail because the boys had already barricaded it.
