Chapter 276- Abigail and Nina
"Even if you don’t want to sleep then at least close your eyes," lying beside her, Sophia mumbled. Marissa couldn’t find it in herself to lie in her bedroom, so she decided to stay in the guest room with Sophie.
Tonight, even Joseph and Dean were given guest rooms too.
Marissa still didn’t feel like sleeping. She only felt like dying. She swore that once Rafael would come back, she would give him a tight slap right across his face and then leave him forever. Who does that to his wife?
"Did he even love me? I thought he did!" Her voice drifted through the room, Sophie propped on her elbow and looked at Marissa’s face.
"Can you stop doing that to yourself?" Marissa chuckled but it lacked humor.
She closed her eyes to show her friend, she was as tired as her.
The problem was this: his face. That used to appear behind her eyelids whenever she closed her eyes.
"Are you mad at me?" there was concern in his voice when he spoke in her head.
"Get lost!" she almost screamed at him in her mind and turned to the other side. She placed a pillow on her head.
Maybe Sophie is right. I should get some sleep. What if Rafael is waiting for me to go to sleep? What if THIS is the surprise? Once when I wake up, he will be there with open arms with that mischievous grin.
She inhaled a long breath and squeezed her eyes close. The light snoring behind her told her that Sophie had already gone to sleep.
