I was shocked. An ugly hag, plot deviation, seven days left, the doctor's words. It all made sense now. I had an idea about what was going on right now. But did something like this really exist?
“Anne, let's cut the act. Everyone in high society knows that Victor is crazy about me. I'm sure you know why he married you. If you were smart, you would leave Victor. I won't spread the word about you having an affair with my future husband in return. Count it as a gesture of thanks for keeping him company while I was away. "
Before I could reply, Victor exploded.
“Disgusting bitch! If only I can slap her. I want to slap her so badly. Who say I like you, you crazy hag? My entire life, there's only Anne in my heart. She’s the only one I love. I love her then, I love her now and I love will love her forever."
"How dare you slap me?!" Rosemarie stared at me wide-eyed.
It seemed I was affected by Victor's anger and I was moved by his love as I advanced to slap her.
“You deserved it,” I said flatly. “You showed up out of the blue and chased me out. You belittled me because I am married to Victor. You forced me to leave my husband and threatened me.”
