Chapter 6 I Wish I Never Met You

Mrs Martins was so angry she wanted to slap Bridgette hard across her face. Her eyes turned red, and then she took a knife and rushed to Bridgette. She wanted to kill her.

Bridgette remained calm and looked at Aunt Elizabeth as if she was a clown. Aunt Elizabeth was no match for her.

Mrs Martins was about to stab Bridgette but someone held her tightly. Elizabeth was so scared when she smelled the familiar scent.

What was her husband doing at home? Her husband used to drop everything to accompany his wife for lunch. However, she didn't appreciate that she was disrespectful to him. Then he stopped coming home for lunch.

Her husband took the knife from his wife's hand and asked, "What are you doing Elizabeth? Are you insane?"

Elizabeth struggled in her husband's arms. She turned around and looked at her husband coldly, "Why, did your heart ache because I tried to kill your mistress?"

Her husband was so angry and sneered, "Elizabeth, please don't embarrass the Martins family. Have I ever wronged you?"

Elizabeth looked at him coldly and replied, "If Bridgette is not your mistress, what is she doing in my house? Do you think I am blind? You make me sick August."

Her husband's face became dark and said, "I told you that Bridgette is our guest and I warned you not to provoke her. It is clear to me that you didn't take my words seriously.

I will let this incident slide because you are pregnant, but I am warning you. If you ever attack her again, don't say that I didn't warn you when Bridgette retaliated."

Then he looked at Bridgette and said, "I apologized on behalf of my wife, please forgive us." Bridgette smiled and replied, "Don't worry Uncle Martins, no harm done."

Elizabeth was fuming; she left the dining room crying and went to their bedroom. It was an eyesore to see her husband and his mistress in her house. August was so tired of his wife's tantrums.

When she became pregnant, she turned into someone else. She was no longer the sweet Elizabeth he fell in love with.

Mr Martins asked Aunt Rose to bring food to their bedroom. He was so upset but he calmed himself down and went to his bedroom to look for his wife.

Elizabeth was standing on the balcony looking lost. Deep down in her heart, she knew that there was nothing between her husband and Bridgette, but she was angry with her husband.

She would never forgive her husband for threatening to divorce her when she wanted to abort the baby. She had deep hatred against her husband.

At that moment, her husband walked towards her and embraced her in his arms. Elizabeth struggled and said, "What are you doing here? Let me go. Don't touch me."

Her husband looked at her and said, "I am so disappointed in you Elizabeth, I thought you knew me. You are the only girl I fell in love with, and I have never wronged you.

Bridgette is like a daughter to me. She doesn't see me as a man but as a father figure." Elizabeth sneered, "So, you are disappointed that she doesn't see you as a lover?"

Her husband's eyes became cold and said, "All the love I have for you is slowly fading away. I used to think that nothing could separate us, but I was lying to myself. It is clear to me that you have never loved me.

The foundation of our love was based on lies. All the promises you made for me were lies.

When your brother told you that he had a baby girl you were over the moon, but you refused to have my children. My deepest regret was to have you as my wife. I wish I had never met you."

Then he left the bedroom with a heavy heart and went back to work. His family was everything to him. He loved his wife so dearly. To avoid hurting himself, he decided to give up their marriage.

He told himself that from today onwards he would take his heart back and he would never allow his wife to hurt him ever again.

After her husband left their bedroom, Elizabeth walked to the sofa and sobbed sorrowfully. Her husband's words stabbed her deep in her heart. She couldn't breathe; she put her hand on her chest. She felt suffocating.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't love her husband because she loved him so much. She knew that their marriage was over, and she didn't know how to save it.

She took her phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, she said sobbing, "Big brother, my marriage is over."

Her brother, Edwin Parker, felt sad when he heard his beloved sister's words and asked, "What is wrong, baby sister?"

Elizabeth cried out loud and replied, "Your brother-in-law told me that his deepest regret was marrying me and he wished he never met me. I messed up big time, big brother.

When I found out that I was pregnant, I wanted to abort the baby and your brother-in-law threatened me with a divorce. As a result, I developed hatred towards him and the baby."

Edwin Parker was dumbfounded. What happened to his soft-hearted sister? He was so upset and said, "Elizabeth, I am so disappointed in you, did you want to kill your own flesh and blood?

What happened to my kind-hearted sister? Did you allow wealth to change your heart? I am so glad that our parents are no longer on this earth because they would be so disappointed in you.

I will pay you a visit on Saturday to speak to you and my brother-in-law." Then he dropped the phone.

Elizabeth cried sorrowfully for a long time. She was hoping that her beloved brother would comfort her and tell her that everything would be alright. What if her brother found out that she accused her husband of having a mistress?

She was ashamed of herself. What if her husband divorced her after she gave birth to their daughter? Would her husband forgive her?
