Chapter 5 Her Dimming Marriage.
Gabriel didn't know how to tell his feelings.
The woman standing before him was clearly the same, yet the aura around her had suddenly shifted.
Earlier in the day she had been pleading with him, trying to vie for his attention like a hungry whore and now here she was, acting like an arrogant lioness.
But most of all, he wondered why his heart ached when Leonica spoke of divorce with such conviction.
Wasn't her willingness to divorce exactly what he wanted?
"Gabe, I...I think I should leave. I-I don't want to see you two fighting because of me." Angelina's voice pulled him out of his mind. The little woman hung her head low in his arms, trying to restrain her trembling.
"Stay here." He tried to reassure Angelina but got Leonica scoffed. Gabriel shot his angry gaze to his wife again.
Angelina suppressed her smile and continued her act, "N-no. I think I should leave."
She said and quickly turned around to get dressed. However, when she just took a few steps from Gabriel, she acted wobbly and suddenly collapsed to the floor, pretending to faint.
"Angelina!" Gabriel called out, alarmed and worried, as he rushed to her side.
When his words failed to bring a reaction from her, Gabriel quickly picked her up in his arms, turning around, and shoving Leonica out of his way as he rushed out of the room.
