The weight of her past love for him was undeniable and she had shown that his needs were more important than mine more than once.
On a freezing winter day, I waited alone in the cold for three hours with a cake that I bought for her to exchange for her smile, while she was happily licking snow off Hugo's hand on the roadside and declaring herself the happiest woman in the world.
They even planned a honeymoon, something Karen and I never had.
Maybe she once loved me, but that was just a fantasy I held onto when I was at death’s door.
Now, it was time for me to leave with whatever dignity I had left.
“Was it you? All because I didn’t follow your plan to get our marriage certificate? There can't be a petty person in the world like you!” Karen’s eyes blazed with anger as she confronted me.
I was confused. I did not understand why she was angry at me.
“What happened to the charm I got for Hugo's safety? I specifically told you not to touch my things! Do you know how important that was? I got it blessed by a master! Do you really want to see him die so you can be happy?” she shouted.
