This wasn't a lie; I'd seen the ruthless nature of Caleb's parents. If I hadn't been able to move out and live alone with Caleb, they would have driven me crazy long ago. I just didn't know if Michele could get past them.
Just then, there was another noise at the door. Hearing the sound of a key locking the door, I became alert.
Sure enough, Caleb pushed the door open, shouting, 'Patricia! Go explain online right now! Do you know how much this is affecting Michele!'"
When he saw there was another man in the house, he paused for a moment, then flew into a rage, "Fine, we're not even divorced yet and you're already bringing a man home, huh?!"
I interrupted him, "This is our neighbor, Charles. He's just here to ask about my situation. Watch your mouth!"
He was the one who was unfaithful first and now he was trying to frame me.
Caleb stepped forward, grabbed my neck and practically yelled, "A man and a woman alone together in a room, didn't expect me to come back and interrupt you, did you?!"
Looking at his angry face, my heart grew cold. How could I have loved such a person for ten years?
