What is our marriage to him anyway? Nothing but trash! "Fake marriages, yes!" I suppress the urge to shout at him, but I can't help my tone turning cold, "Still heavier than you have been treating it though." | "Is that how you justify you and Adrian?!" He lets out a disbelieving laugh as if I'm being ridiculous.
Adrian??? I sent that guy ONE message and now I'm the one cheating?! "No! How about I justify it with my fucking husband kissing my sister behind my back?!" I finally did it. I didn't want to bring it up to add to my humiliation, but he just had to force it out of me.

He doesn't hatesaving his Ava over and over, he doesn't hatewhen I stay up with ssnack for him because the workaholic forgets his meals, and he doesn't hatewhen I sort out our hfor us. He was out there kissing Ava when I was in the illusion of taking care of "our" home. So how dare he cand accuseof this?! "You-you saw?!" He opens his eyes wide, shocked.
That's the best he can do? Just a "you saw"? I knew he loved her, all this time. So why does it hurt when ems it? I shake my head slowly. A huge wave of disappointment and humiliation overwhelms me.
"You are not even denying it," I suddenly calm down. He doesn't care, at all. I was the one who forced his hand, but he was the one chainingdown to drain my blood for her while he trod on my heart.
I have had enough.
"Why didn't you askabout it when it happened?" He demands with a mean tone, "Instead you go and find yourself a lover, too? Is that how we are going to play it now?" Fury gulping at my remaining reason.
"At least I never hide about loving Ava! You knew it when you broke us up!" Guilt would defeatwhen he pulled this card before, but not today. I won't take full responsibility for that anymore.

Let's just say that Ava wasn't lying when she said she didn't want to marry you unless she is cured," I suddenly lose interest in fighting, "Now she is. Your dear Ava is available now, and I'm giving you the sfreedom so your next kiss won't be adultery, so what's this fuss about?" "I have been telling you what the fuss is about and you won't hear me!" He shouts back, seemingly frustrated, "It's about how you are being unreasonable and throwing a tantrum with a divorce! What are you trying to do here? To humiliate me? To hurt me? YOU forcedinto this marriage, and now you also get to end it at will? What do you take me? A fucking toy?!" Smack! I slap him in the face, to my own shock.
I never knew I had it in me. I have never raised my hand at anyonem hay at before. But today he got me. His words boiled my blood when he turned this all on me. Sebastian pauses for a second in shock, and the next second he grabs my wrist and cornersinto the wall, his eyes fierce with anger. "You-"
"What was the deal, do you remember?” I let him pin my wrist on the wall, beside my ear, asking e m calmly. With every word leaving my lips, my throat hurts more and my tears get closer to pouring out of my eyes. But I will make it! I won't let the tears out, and I WILL finish speaking for myself today! He frowns, stunned at my sudden question. "You mean the wedding you begged for-?"
I slap him again. Lightly this time, just to cut him off. His eyebrows furrow as he catches both of my hands, binding them behind me, and pressing my body into his I struggle out and keep a distance, asking again one word after another: "What was the deal, Sebastian Knight?" X
