He amused me and I couldn't help but laugh along with him, curling up on the floor and joining in on the fun. The sweet words and playful teasing from back then now felt like sharp knives stabbing straight into my chest. My heart ached with every beat.
That woman’s voice was flirtatious as she said, "Ethan, you’ve got to make it official between us..."
Then I heard a familiar voice follow, "I’ve already bought accident insurance for Evelyn. Once she’s gone, all of the Whitmore Family’s assets will be ours!"
"Oh, don’t you believe it? Frederick Whitmore only has one child and she’s just a daughter. If not her husband, who else would get the inheritance?"
The woman laughed seductively, "Oh, Ethan, you’re the best."
I was frozen in disbelief.
I thought Ethan's betrayal was just a case of the seven-year itch, nothing serious, but I never expected him to be so calculating, wanting to put me in a dead-end! At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to burst into the bedroom, catch the two of them red-handed, tear everything apart in a rage and feel so relieved!
