He saw me on the couch, clumsily tending to my injuries. For a moment, hesitation flickered in his eyes. But he turned away and walked into the bedroom.
A few minutes later, he walked out the room while dragging a suitcase.
He said coldly, “I paid for the imported medicine you broke. Consider that matter closed."
"Nancy’s upset, so I’m taking a week’s vacation to go abroad with her. While I’m gone, think about what you’ve done.”
From the moment he arrived home to the moment he left again, I didn’t say a single word.
Edwin took Nancy to Velvetio.
Nancy sent me their itinerary like a trophy. Edwin bought her designer handbags, luxury perfumes and piles of new clothes. They took a sunset cruise and strolled hand in hand down the famous Bellefragrance Row.
Occasionally, Edwin messaged me too.
[You always said you wanted to honeymoon in Velvetio. I’ll take you when I have time.]
[You just miscarried. Take care of yourself.]
[I got you a gift. I’ll give it to you when I’m home.]
I didn’t reply to a single one.
On the seventh day, soon as I got my passport, I went straight to the airport and bought the next ticket to the Federal Crimsonnia.
