My stomach churned as another wave of pain hit me.I glared at her and said coldly,"Get out of my house."
As soon as I spoke,Alexander appeared from the master bedroom,a bathrobe wrapped around him,droplets of water still glistening in his hair.He had just showered.
His disapproving gaze fell on me.“Chelsea helped me through a rough time.She’s sick now and has no family in the city.There’s plenty of space here.What’s the harm in her staying for a few days?Madeline,when did you become so cold-hearted?”
A sharp pain spread from my abdomen to my chest,making me double over.
We’d been together for over a decade.Everyone knew how deeply he once loved me.I never imagined he would accuse me of being cold-hearted for the sake of another woman.
Disappointment and agony swallowed me whole,making each breath feel torturous.
I didn’t want to cry in front of someone who had betrayed me.But when I opened my mouth,my voice cracked,choked with emotion.“A-Alexander,I’m sick too.”
He paused for a moment,and for a fleeting second,I saw a flicker of concern in his dark eyes.
But it vanished as quickly as it came.His perfect face turned indifferent,annoyed.
