Chapter 2: The Flight
[~Song Recommendation: Because of You by Kelly Clarkson~]
"Mom... I caught him with another woman earlier. My husband is cheating on me..."
Cammy cursed herself...
She had initially planned to keep it to herself until she talked to Duncan, but talking with her mom made her resolve waver. Despite her mom being unsupportive, she felt the need for motherly warmth and affection at that moment because she felt so sad and alone. It was as if the whole universe just turned its back on her and decided to make her suffer.
"Oh, dear... Cammy, let me tell you this. Men cheat all the time; it's normal for them. The important thing is that you are the legal wife. He comes home to you and provides for you, for your son, and even for us. Men these days do not do that anymore, you are a lucky woman for having Duncan in your life.
Don't be so ungrateful dear. Can't you see that you are a spoiled wife? And I think you are already too spoiled that's why you are acting this way. It is not good to control your husband like that, men do not like being controlled you know. Your husband wants a submissive wife, can't you just do that and enjoy the luxurious life that he is providing us?
Anyway, if anything happens to him, his company and all his wealth will be transferred to you and Dylan. So don't dwell on it too much; you'll get used to it. Just let it go. Stop making it as if it's a big deal. For once, stop complaining and just be a good wife for Christ's sake!"
Cammy clenched her fist in anger and closed her eyes. She instantly regretted mentioning it to her mother, who does not care about anything in this world except for money.
"How about this, Mom... I'll come there with Dylan, so you can use my credit card to buy the things you need. We'll stay until you return from your cruise, so Dad won't be alone during his check-up.
But don't tell Duncan, he might cut off my card if he finds out that I let you use mine because yours maxed out. As long as you stay quiet about it, he will never know. He's busy with work anyway."
Cammy wanted to think first. She knows very well from experience that she must not decide on anything when her emotions are high. Visiting her parents is just the perfect excuse to be away from Duncan without him suspecting a thing in case he finds out where they went.
