CandyAnsel’s waiting for me at the front door when I return.In the taxi, I had tried to fix myself up and clean up Axel’s scent on me, stretch out my gown, pull my hair together but nothing will ever satisfy Ansel’s suspicious mind.He has been accusing me of cheating long before Axel returned. He has never trusted me. Sometimes, I wonder if he can tell that I have no love for him the same way he doesn’t love me.This marriage is a sham, i can't wait for my freedomHe watches me angrily as I return to the house. “Hi, honey,” I greet him tentatively.He looks me over, suspiciously. “Where were you?”“Um, brunch like I said with friends?”“What friends?”“Um, Rita and Marie.”He frowns angrily. “So, if I call Rita and Marie right now, they’ll confirm they went out with you?”My heart sinks. I haven't talked to my friends in months. Not since Ansel basically banned me from going out. “They will. I have the receipts to prove it,” I say, rummaging through my bag.I had stopped at a rest
