I collapsed back onto the floor, hearing her mutter to herself.
She claimed to be from the future, lamenting how I was ruining her and her best friend's good fortune.
What is this talk of time travel?
As my consciousness faded, I felt someone lift me up. Cassian's worried voice called out, "Snow, Snow."
It was Cassian.
I whispered to myself, wanting to rise and escape the abyss.
But when I opened my eyes, it wasn't Cassian I saw; it was Ashley.
Her anger was still simmering as she glared down at me, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Learning to complain to me about my son now, are we?"
Confused, I noticed Fiona kneeling on the ground, her face buried in her hands, trembling as she cried. "Mrs. Aniston didn't want to take her medicine. She asked us to switch it for birth control pills and not tell you…"
My heart sank.
So that's what she has been giving me!
In this place, without children, I would have no standing. I wanted to argue, but Ashley slapped me hard across the face. "As Cassian's wife, not having children is a grave sin!"
She called for Cassian. "Isn't it time for a peaceful divorce?"
