Chapter 9: Coiled like a serpent
In a lavish mansion, a man paced in the living room. His face was filled with rage and his movements were impatient, ''That bitch!"
At this moment, there were sounds of urgent footsteps from the outside.
When Max turned around, he was greeted by the sight of a beautiful face.
Esther looked at him with tear-filled eyes, ''Brother-in-law, why do you seem so upset? Was it sister again?"
''Esther, don't call me brother-in-law again. That sister of yours doesn't know what is good for her,'' Max scoffed.
''She had been crying for days when she realized that you were getting engaged. On the night of your engagement, she wanted to come even if it meant seeing you from afar...''
''Don't even mention it! Even though it was my engagement night, I had made arrangements for her to be shifted to a flat in the suburbs. I cannot marry her legally but she could have been my mistress in name. With her current appearance, even though I would not touch her, she was not having any losing deal at all!"
Esther lowered her eyes, hiding the evil smile that crept on her face. Sister, sister, the good old lover of yours is despising you for being a pig! If you were here, would you take your life in disappointment?
"But what did she do...? That immoral loose woman parted her legs for Adrian King! She has the audacity to claim that she loves me,'' Max scoffed, ''Still, I went there when you told me he forced himself on her. But she humiliated me over and over again, praising that ruthless animal on my face.''
