THREATS
"I did not take anything from you, Maria, so stop accusing me. I am not like you, know? Or should I remind you what you and Damian did to me?" I chip in.
"Wow! You are still not over that? And here I thought you love this man you so want to marry?"
"I didn't get over it, because there was nothing to get over, to begin with. Damian had my heart from the word go. Did you see me cry that day? Did I ever ask why you did it? Did I ask you both for an explanation? Did he tell you like I looking for him afterwards? No, right? You did me a huge favour I was finding it hard to push him away. There was nothing between us, and , if you thought that by sleeping with him you would hurt me, I'm sorry, your shameless acts were worth nothing."
"Don't expect me to apologize for that. Besides, that is a thing from a long time ago.
The topic is you being here."
"Exactly. Don't turn the tables on me, because I took nothing from you. When I here, there wasn't even a slight smell of a woman. I never would have that Andy's ex-wife would be my cousin of all the people. Anyways, it is it is now, they are my family, and I don't regret anything. If Andy doesn't you, and if Angel ends up rejecting you, don't blame me for any of that. I 't wreck your home. You left them. You abandoned them, Maria, and there are for every single action."
"Well then, Madam perfection! Assuming you didn't know that Andy was married your cousin, which I am finding very difficult to believe, what are you going to now? I mean, I am here now, right? How does it feel to know that you have sleeping with your cousin's husband, huh? You have been screwing my man!"
Shit! She knows the route to my soft spot perfectly. The thought of me sleeping someone who used to sleep with my cousin makes me feel dirty. The thought I will be married to someone who used to be Maria's husband doesn't sit well me. What will even my parents say?
It was difficult enough to convince them to approve of this relationship because
Andy was a divorcee. But telling them that Maria is his ex-wife and the mother to kid will make them disapprove of this without a second thought. I can't blame though, because I also think this relationship is wrong. I love Andy and Angel all of my heart. I don't want to lose them for anything, but this? What I am so about is why fate has it that I will always lose to Maria. Why?
"Well, what does your conscious say, my dear cousin? Are you proud of yourself?
You can still save yourself the little pride left in you and walk away while you ."
Walking away? Is it an option? Do I have another choice? But the wedding is in a hours from now. What will happen?
Andy pulls me to him, sheathing his hand around my shoulders in a more and protective way. He might have noticed that Maria is getting into my , which she definitely is. Will I ever win against this bitch? No, wait, rephrase . Will I ever have the courage to fight this bitch?
"She is going nowhere because she is not guilty of anything. I love her, and Angel her." Angel, my little princess. My chubby bubbly doll. My cute angel. Who she need the most? Who would she even choose if given a chance? Is it me, feels like an imposter now in her life right now, or her real mother? Would she okay if I leave? "It's you who need to leave now, Maria. You have managed to me that Angel is not your concern here. Get out!" Andy says.
"Be careful, Andy. Think carefully and don't dare me."
"To hell with your threats. Just leave! Get out!"
"Alright. Then we will have to do this the hard way. I will file a case for full of Angel. I have a very high chance of winning, because I am stable , and Angel is a minor, not to add that you are remarrying. When I get , you will never see Angel ever again. That I promise."
I think my blood has turned ice because all I can feel are nothing but cold shivers over my body. It hasn't gotten this serious, right? I know she has other agendas , but can I let her ruin Andy like this? I know she is a rotten bitch who doesn't twice about her decisions. And Andy, I look at him beside me. He is frozen, icy brown eyes with a sad look that I have never seen in them. I don't even when his hand dropped from my shoulders. If he had long nails, his palms be bleeding due to his hands tightly clenching into fists.
Angel is practically his world and this bitch knows that very well. What a cunning bitch!
She intentionally drops the empty glass of juice, and the broken pieces scatters on floor, the noise snapping me from whatever I was engrossed at. Andy doesn't though, it's like he turned into a statue.
"Oops." She says with a devilish smirk, and she bends to grab her huge satchel the floor. "My lawyer will get in touch with you as soon as this minute." She and swings her hips cat walking to the door.
I try to shake Andy out of his statute state. He needs to do something. Before he react, Maria opens the door starting her way out.
"WAIT, STOP!"
She turns around, and both their eyes snap at me.
