Staring at Caleb with a heart heavy as stone, I quivered.
âSay it again.
â
Caleb sneered.
âWhy bother? Even if I did, it wonât change your disloyal waysâ¦â
Before he could finish, I surged forward, Landing a sharp slap across his cheek.
His confident facade faltered.
But he missed the storm brewing within me.
Anger, betrayal, hurtâ¦
A whirlwind of emotions swept over me as tears spilled over, logic abandoned.
âInvolved with someone else? Do you even know who stood by me when I battled a vampire right after giving birth, fighting for my life?â
Caleb froze.
âWhat?â
My eyes stung with tears as I stared at him, my whole body trembling with emotion.
Finally, I burst out, âWhen vampires threatened to take my child and me, Andrew stepped in, saving us from certain death! Where were you then? Were you even looking for us? Oh, right, youâd already moved on, hadnât you? Your search mustâve been half-hearted.
â
Each word I spat out fueled the fire of injustice burning inside me.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, I continued, âAfter I survived countless horrors and found my way back, did you ever wonder how I was doing? What about our child?â
Ny barrage of questions left Caleb speechless.
His lips quavered in shock.
Amidst my tears, I laughed bitterly.
It all seemed so ludicrous.
Once, I believed in keeping grievances buried, thinking it best not to speak up and cause hurt.
But now, my silence had become a weapon used against me.
And by whom else but the one I loved most?
In the end, the tears I held back couldnât be contained any longer.
But I wouldnât shed tears for a man like him; he didnât deserve it.
With resolve, I wiped away my tears, masking my emotions behind a cold exterior.
âCaleb, when danger threatened, you were nowhere to be found.
It was Andrew who came to my rescue.
While I was lost, you were cozying up with another woman, living your life as if I didnât matter.
And when I left, you made no effort to bring me back.
So, what gives you the right to accuse me or Andrew of anything?â
Caleb stood there, speechless in the face of my rebuke.
I smiled sadly, feeling disappointed in him.
âAndrew, letâs leave.
I donât want to lay eyes on this man ever again!â
