Semua Bab A Scorned Wife's Tale of Revenge: Bab 1 - Bab 8

An audible gasp came out of my lips before I could stop myself. I tried so hard not to move.The scent of hard liquor filled the room, and I instantly knew who had recklessly walked in.Ares. Who else could it be?He's drunk. His heavy footsteps gave him away along with his intoxicated scent."Stop pretending to be asleep, bitch!" he snapped. "I know you're awake."The familiar sound of his belt unbuckling terrified me. The next thing I heard was the quiet rustling of his clothes.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push his naked image from my mind aside. I let my teeth sink into my bottom lip to stop myself from making a sound. I already know what's going to happen next. As much as I wanted to feel him, I hate it when he does it.I instinctively held onto the sheet, pulling it closer to my chest as if it could save me from my husband's rage."Camilla!" his voice thundered, echoing along the walls of the master bedroom.I flinched when he suddenly grabbed the sheet away from me. My he

I cleaned up while cooking. I had to finish quickly if I don't want my goddamn husband to raise hell on me. By the time I was cooking the last set of pancakes, I was also almost done cleaning up the mess we had made in the kitchen.I sighed after mopping the floor. The day hasn't even started, and yet I am already exhausted."Is it done, mommy?" Mira's crystal voice rang inside the kitchen, pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to see her still in the arms of her father. My heart instantly warmed at the sight. A genuine smile painted on my lips."Yes, amor," I gently told her, not minding the dagger looks Ares is currently throwing at me. What's his problem? I already cleaned up the mess. Besides, Mira had fun. Wasn't it enough reason to let it slide?Well, I guess not when I enjoyed it as much. He seemed to despise the idea of me being happy. But I won't let him ruin my day."Come, let's eat," I said, placing the remaining pancakes on the table. I checked to see if everything is se

"How dare you?!" I was livid!I accusingly glared at Ares. Don't tell me he's going to believe this stupid bitch? What can a three-year-old do to a fully grown adult like her?!Is he even thinking? Or is he only using his dick at this point?!"Ares," Sofia's hands snaked around his arm. "Calm down. It wasn't that bad. I just twisted my ankle a little-""Shut up, you lying piece of shit!" I snapped at her. I can't calm down no matter how hard I breathe. If only I could snap that delicate neck of hers so we could get this over and done with!"Camilla!" he growled. The contrast of how he utters our names differently is ridiculous, but that's none of my concern. The only thing I want is to protect my daughter from this evil wench!I laughed humorlessly."What?!" I scoffed. "I will take whatever nonsense you throw at me. But don't you ever think I will just sit down quietly while your whore try to villainize my daughter! Our daughter!"I yelled the word our, in case he forgot who Mira is,

What the fuck did he just say?I turned to glare at him incredulously.He held my gaze as if he wasn't asking me for the impossible. His expression was unfathomable. I don't know what's going on inside his head, but mine...For fuck's sake, my mind was still reeling from the explosives he just threw at me. First, a divorce petition sat comfortably in his drawer, waiting to be signed at any moment. It was as if he were just waiting for me to commit the slightest mistake before throwing the papers at my face!Second, Hacienda Camilla was no longer mine. It was already transferred under his name. I don't know what kind of illegal transactions he made to make it possible, but the papers he showed me seemed legit. I lost my inheritance just like that.And now, he's telling me to leave my daughter?"Why don't you kill me instead?" I muttered defiantly under my breath, just enough for him to hear.My gaze held fury while his eyes widened a fraction. The words that left my mouth seemed to hav
