Chapter 80: Whatever it takes (1)
Delilah felt like someone had stabbed her in the chest with a knife repeatedly and then taken out her heart when they were finished. Never had her heart ached this much. One tiny mistake was costing her relationship with Rafael.
She was somehow strong enough to stand on her feet when he rejected her feelings, but to be banned from his house had her on the verge of fainting.
"And what has your maid gotten as a punishment for what she did?" Delilah asked, clenching her fists. She wanted nothing more than to find Annalise and strangle her. Annalise should have quietly given her the dress when she asked for it. No, Annalise should not have received a gift from Rafael in the first place.
It was not fair for her to be the only one punished. She was letting go of her anger for a moment to please Rafael, but since he was pushing her out of his life, she would do as she wanted with Annalise.
Rafael didn’t respond to Delilah’s question. He had said everything that needed to be said on his end. She had no place to question him about what he would do with Annalise. What he wanted was for her to get out of his home now that she heard from him that she was no longer welcome here.
Delilah could not run to her father and say there was some misunderstanding as to why she could not enter Rafael’s home since she had heard it from Rafael’s mouth.
Rafael would like it if her parents stopped coming too. He didn’t hate them, but the only reason he would let them stay for dinner was because of his mother. They were her friends.
If it wasn’t his parents or friends, Rafael preferred to sit alone at his table for dinner.
"Answer me," Delilah demanded, raising her voice. How was she to get rid of her jealousy when Rafael acted like this when it came to Annalise? He was provoking her. Pushing her to get rid of Annalise. Then there was Giselle who Rafael let enter his home freely.
