Then I cast a dramatic glance at Jasmine, "But why don’t you tell Hugo you only want his money and his name? Gold digger like you belongs to the street!"
Hugo, on the other hand, didn't think twice about slapping me in front of his lover. He pointed his finger at me and said, "Stop this nonsense! If you're mad at me, be mad at me and leave her alone! You're just causing trouble again, and it's really embarrassing, you know?"
Watching the man I love turn into a monster and treat me like I'm a threat to his life and the woman he replaced me made my eyes tear up. At that very moment, my heart sank so deeply that I thought I might die if I didn't say something.
"JUST FUCKING SIGN THE DIVORCE PAPERS! AND IF YOUR MISTRESS LAY A FINGER ON MY SON, I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL MAKE HER PAY!" I took a hard wipe at my eyes and stormed away from them.
Five minutes later, I froze in place, clutching my chest, as I stepped outdoors. I choked back tears before I could even think to hold them back, and I whispered to myself, "Y–You're gonna be okay, C–Catt... Y–You'll be fine."
