“But now, I don’t want to waste another minute with you!”
Without glancing at Jason’s suddenly darkened face, I turned and walked into the bedroom to start packing my things.
Realizing I wasn’t joking, Jason completely lost his temper.
“Rachel, get back here!”
“What are you packing? What do you even have to pack? For the past ten years, everything you’ve eaten, worn, and used—I paid for it!”
“If you want to leave, then leave clean. Even the clothes you’re wearing now—I bought them. Take them off before you go!”
Even Ethan stood at his father’s side, looking up at me with a face both innocent and cruel.
“Dad’s right! Mom, if you want to leave, you have to take off the clothes too!”
The world went black before my eyes, and I clutched the doorframe, my body trembling uncontrollably.
So this is what my blind gamble on love brought me. Giving up everything, marrying far from home… it was the most foolish decision of my life.
Seeing me frozen there, pale and shaken, a flash of triumph crossed Jason’s face. He thought he had me cornered.
He cleared his throat, softening his tone with false generosity.
