Chapter 51: Not The Same Girl
Marcella was shocked to see the expression on Tony’s face. He looked terrifying as if he was ready to hurt her if he pleased.
Was it because she brought up Cindy? That must be some divine love if he gets this mad for her.
"I’m sorry you had to settle for me, Tony. But it was a decision you made. I might be your wife but you cannot humiliate me in public like this. Let go of me," she said in a tone not shouting and not whispering.
Her eyes were focused and leaving the anger and disappointment she was feeling, she tried to be strong.
Tony looked into her eyes. He had never seen such a bland expression on her face. She looked distant. It was then he realized that he was pinning her up the wall.
He’s seen her strength and oftentimes forgets that she’s not physically as strong as him. But she’s not weak. She could get out of his hold by hurting him. She learned some martial arts when younger. She knows exactly what to do to get out of this position.
Yet, she was using her word. She does not want to hurt him.
He let go of her. He was not going to hurt her. He was taken aback when she implied that he had some sort of relationship with Cindy.
He got mad that she misunderstands everything he does and never tries to understand him. She might have seen him with Cindy and her first thought was he was having an illicit relationship with her.
Why didn’t she think twice before talking? Didn’t he give her the benefit of the doubt even though she was running around with Louis Fletcher without her ring on? Why can’t she spare him the same?
He didn’t know what hurt him more. Was it her doubting him? Or was it the indifferent attitude she was showing?
"As I told you before, Cindy is a pal of mine. No, she was a pal of mine. I broke it up today. I won’t meet her again," he told her the truth hoping she would accept it and be relieved.
