Chapter 46: See you again
"How do you think they would feel? Do you think they would make you leave him?" She mused with a satisfied grin plastered across her face. "Or do you think they would force him to divorce you then you would have to go crawling back to your ex-husband?" She taunted relentlessly as a smirk tugged at the corners of her lips.
I felt my heart sink to the pit of my stomach at that instant. How did she know? How did she find out?
It was only then did I realise that I have never met his parents ever since we got married, in fact, he hadn’t mentioned them to me at all for whatever reason.
Doubt began to creep into my mind within the next second. Was there a reason that I haven’t met them? Maybe he didn’t think it was necessary, or maybe he wasn’t close to his parents? Or maybe there was more to it and he was hiding something from me that I didn’t even know.
My imagination started to run wild as a million thoughts swirled at the back of my mind. I felt as though my brain was going to burst with all the questions that started to pile up and fill up my mind. I was starting to scare myself with baseless thoughts and questions that kept popping into my mind, so I quickly shook off the unsettling feeling.
I didn’t let my unease show as I kept my voice steady and let out a low chuckle which seemed to piss her off.
"Is that all you got?" I laughed as my heart hammered inside my chest. "What makes you think they don’t already know? Come on... Evelyn... I thought you were better than this," I mocked and watched as her face turned red and an angry expression masked her features in a split second.
She sucked in a deep breath to calm herself down as the corners of her lips twitched upwards into a slight smile that stretched across her face. "You think you are so tough, huh?" She spat the words out like they were poison in her mouth. "Then what about your mum? She is still working in my house," she reminded with a smug look plastered across her face, changing the subject effortlessly when her initial threat did not successfully bother me like she hoped for.
I didn’t say anything, letting her continue. "Aren’t you afraid that I’m going to make her life a living hell? Aren’t you scared of what we might do?" She warned, her sharp voice icy as her features hardened with a cold expression. "We could fire her and she would lose her job, you wouldn’t like that, would you?"
