Chapter 3
I stared at him in disbelief, unable to hide the anger in my eyes, shocked that such words could come from As he moved to kiss me, I struggled fiercely and finally managed to escape.
But then, I saw Kevin at the other end of the hallway, his arm intimately intertwined with Amelia’s. Kevin!” I shouted loudly.
He didn’t respond and just walked away, holding Amelia around the waist.
Amelia glanced back at me as she left, her look full of provocation.
If she could hear me, I believe Kevin could hear me too, yet he chose to ignore me.
Kevin.
That evening, Kevin returned very late, looking upset. He questioned me, “Why did you hit my friend at the hospital today? Just because I didn’t accompany you, you took it out on my friend? Maria, you are being
unreasonable.

He was completely twisting the truth, yet Kevin chose to believe his friend.
“Didn’t you get any medicine at the hospital today?”
He didn’t even ask how I got hurt
ftook a deep breath and explained everything that had happened at the hospital.
The more he listened, the grimmer his expression became. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
*know him better than you do. Are you just making up stories to vilify my friend to get my attention?”
To joke about such a thing is utterly unreasonable
“You’re not his type. Damn it. Why would I marry such a jealous woman?”

My ten years of devotion couldn’t earn me a shred of his trust.
Every word he said pained my heart.
That night, I didn’t speak another word to him and slept in the guest room.
The next morning, he bought breakfast as an apology.
