Chapter 3
William looked at me sharply. His face was slightly flushed, which surprised me.
"Kimberly, what are you doing?"
I froze looking at William, who looked very angry.
"Never mind, William, it's my fault. I've made Kimberly angry. My past mistakes are unforgivable. But who would want to be in her shoes?"
I was surprised to see Audrey sobbing. While William hugged her to calm her down. While I, as his wife, was ignored.
"I'm sorry, William, I didn't mean to bring up the past. I accept that Kimberly poured water on me."
I looked at Audrey's annoyance, she seemed to be good at acting so as to make William look hateful to me.
"I also accept if Kimberly throws a glass at me, but please don't badmouth Mom."
I was shocked again. Audrey was twisting the facts. She was lying to gain William's sympathy. I clenched my fists. I wanted to pull her hair bald, but I was helpless before William.
"She's lying, I'm not badmouthing Mom," I replied, denying Audrey's words. I had to defend myself, I didn't want to be blamed for what I didn't do.
"Shut up, Kimberly. You talk too much!" William snapped at me, making me shut up.
"Answer me honestly! Did you douse her with water?" asked William with a sharp gaze.
Before answering, I looked at Audrey, who smiled wryly. Because I saw myself being treated harshly by William.
I nodded my head. I answered honestly.
"Did you also throw a glass at him?"
"I didn't throw William's glass, I accidentally dropped it."
"Shut your mouth! Intentionally or not, you did it!"
I kept quiet, it was useless for me to fight and defend myself. William would still defend Audrey.
"Forgive William, Kimberly. I know he's just upset with you. All this is just a misunderstanding, you shouldn't be angry because of his attitude."
My stomach lurched at Audrey's kind words and gesture.
"Bring the medicine box to the room for Audrey!" William said with a flat face. I clutched my shirt tightly as I heard William give another order.
I was even surprised to see William carrying Audrey's body. Even though it wasn't only Audrey who was injured, I was also hit by the glass shards.
Seeing his indifferent attitude made me get evidence. That William really didn't care about me. He didn't look at me anymore.
And when they were about to leave. Audrey, who was in William's arms, pushed my body. Fortunately, I fell on the sofa. If I had fallen on the floor, I don't know how my baby would have fared. I have to take good care of my baby. Audrey's presence in this house is very dangerous for my pregnancy.
I also saw Audrey waving. She even kissed William's cheek to show her victory.
I sat down weakly. It seemed like their relationship had gone very far.
I went to get the medicine box as instructed by William. I didn't want him to get angry again. And make me stressed out thinking about it. I need to keep my body healthy, because I'm currently pregnant.
After taking the medicine box, I came to my and William's room. Seeing Audrey and William sitting on my bed made my heart ache. They were even boldly holding hands with each other.
Seeing them chatting happily without caring about my feelings. With a strong heart, I stepped in, surprising both of them.
"You should have knocked first, Kimberly!" said William, who looked surprised at my arrival.
I didn't answer him. Why would I knock on the door to my own room?
Just as I was about to sit down, William's voice suddenly startled me.
"Kimberly, why are you sitting? Hurry up and treat Audrey's wound!" William said while holding the medicine box.
"No need, William, I can do it myself. I don't want to be a disobedient sister," replied Audrey, who took the medicine box from William's hand.
"It's not like that, I want to make Kimberly a responsible woman!" he replied to Audrey with a gentle look.
Then William looked at me coldly. "Hurry up and do it!"
I was like his pet dog. I obeyed William's orders even though he had hurt me.
I took the medicine box and started to treat Audrey. Just as I was about to touch the wound, I was suddenly startled by Audrey's scream.
"Sorry, you're treating my wound too hard," Audrey said in pain.
I had just taken the cotton swab and hadn't touched the wound. But she was already in so much pain that the sound of her scream made William stand up and slap my cheek.
My cheek felt hot and throbbing. It wasn't just my mind that was hurting, now my body was starting to hurt.
"Slow down, Kimberly. You've gone too far; Audrey is hurting!"
"Sorry."
I catch my breath to keep from crying. I don't want my tears to fall again for a man like William. And Kimberly would cheer triumphantly again.
"Treat it right, I want to go for a while. Don't hurt Audrey again, you're family!"
William's departure made me fall limp. He slapped me in defense of Audrey.
"See who he's defending?" Audrey smiled at my weak look.
"Shut up already, Audrey, my head hurts!" I said irritably.
"I really miss this bed. Do you remember your wedding anniversary party last year?"
I froze listening to Audrey's words that were making me jealous.
"This bed is where we made love, Kimberly. William's sweet gesture is still vividly remembered."
"How he kissed and hugged me. Even this blanket covered both of our bodies," Audrey said, throwing the blanket at my face.
I shed my tears hearing this sad fact.
"Look at the necklace you're wearing, he even asked me before buying it."
William even asked Audrey before giving his gift to me.
"Then remember your nightgown that was your wedding gift back then? I have it too. He bought two on purpose because he wanted to remember my face. You were his wild fantasy, Kimberly!"
Chapter 4
Audrey looked at me with compassion. And her hand came up to gently stroke my hair. Suddenly, I brushed her hand away.
"What a poor life you have!"
Audrey's words were true, my life was unfortunate. I stared hatefully at Audrey, not only did she take away my position, but she also took away my family. She also took William from my life.
"My life is poor, Audrey. So please let William go! You've got everything!" I replied irritably and started crying.
I was indeed my family's heir, but I didn't want to accept their property. I was even planning to change the name of the inheritance and give it to Audrey.
"No, I haven't gotten it all. William isn't my husband yet! I won't let him go!"
Audrey suddenly grabbed my hand and led me into the bathroom. Her attitude was rough, and she gripped my hand tightly. It made me grimace in pain.
"Look at this bathroom! I did it with William too."
I covered my mouth in shock, hearing Audrey's disgusted words describing how they made love.
"Every corner of your house is a witness to our love, Kimberly!" she said, pulling my hand to go outside the bathroom.
"Enough, Audrey, I don't want to hear it!"
Audrey's words made me sick. And suddenly the image of William's sweet words and treatment was just like a knife stabbing my heart.
It didn't stop there. Audrey even pushed my body and opened our wardrobe. She threw William's shirt right in front of me.
"This shirt has been with me the whole time!"
I screamed hysterically, crying while covering my ears. My heart was so broken, I don't know how many times they had made love. For six years they were secretly having a relationship behind my back.
"William always makes me happy. Every touch of his set my whole body on fire. If it wasn't for his request, I might have had many children from William."
"Shut your mouth, Audrey! You're shameless!"
"What am I ashamed of? He's sick of you not being able to give him children. Oh yes, this is the last one!" said Audrey as she walked towards me, who was sitting limply on the bed.
"Remember when you did the treatment for your uterus? I was with him, imagine what he did!" Audrey said again while whispering to me.
She walked away, leaving me crying hysterically. This bitter reality was hard for me to accept.
William loved me so much, but he betrayed me so easily. All his behavior had changed, I remembered the first time I met him. He was the savior of my life. When I was working at the bar as a waitress, he touched my hand gently to walk me out of that dark world.
William was even there when I felt down. He always encouraged me and hugged me.
Now all my sacrifices for him were in vain. I'm a stupid woman for ever donating blood for him. If things end up like this, I'd rather let William die in the hospital.
I recalled that I used to accompany William when he was sick for two years. And I also worked in his place at the company. I had no time to rest. My life was spent just working and taking care of William.
But he easily forgot all my sacrifices. And William was now looking at Audrey as his woman.
I hit the wall hard. Audrey's arrival was like a bomb exploding and destroying my life.
I couldn't be in this house anymore. I had realized there was no place for me by William's side.
I packed all my clothes. But I didn't take all my clothes with me. Some clothes I left behind. And they were all gifts from William.
I was just afraid that everything William gave me was Audrey's choice. I didn't want to wear them. The pendant necklace given by William was already broken, no matter how expensive it was.
Before leaving, I tidied up the room to its original state. I didn't want William to realize my fight with Audrey. I planned to leave quietly from him.
After I had done everything, I walked out of this house. I wanted to live a happy life with my baby. I don't want to make William the father of my child. He's not a good father.
I was already in front of the house. I looked sadly at my house before leaving. The house that I had bought with my hard-earned money. Now I would let it go to William and his mistress.
But suddenly I remembered something, I left the car keys in the room earlier. Reluctantly, I went back in.
When I was near the room, I heard a sound that made my heart beat fast. But I stepped forward bravely.
"This is too ridiculous, William!"
"Shut up, Audrey, or I'll eat you!"
My body froze at the disgusting sight. The sound of lustful whining rang in my ears. I covered my mouth looking at the half-naked bodies of both covered by the blanket.
Audrey's arrival and William's rude behavior today seemed to be planning to get rid of me.
God was showing me their ugliness right before my eyes.
"Oh William, can we not use protection anymore?" said Audrey, complaining very softly.
"Alright, I don't want to use protection anymore either. I love you, Audrey, no one can match the sexiness of your body!" said William and kissed Audrey lustfully.
I decided not to take the car keys. It looked like I was going to take a taxi. There was no way I would go inside and surprise them. Before walking away, I grabbed my cell phone that was in my bag. I held the tightness in my chest as I recorded the vile deeds of the two of them.
William had completely forgotten his promise. And the relationship we had for seven years was now untenable.
"I won't betray you, I only belong to you. Your name is already engraved in my heart."
That promise had seemed like a nightmare to me. William has given me bad memories that I will never forget. I was so disappointed in him. The man I respected all this time disrespected me as his wife. His affair with Audrey was unforgivable.
Chapter 5
Sunlight poured in through the cracks in my bedroom window, disturbing my sleep. Starting today, I'll be living in the house left behind by my late foster mother.
Last night I kept waking up from nightmares. Every hot scene and their lustful whining haunted me.
"You bastards! Because of them I can't rest in peace." I yelled in annoyance as I threw the nightlight to the floor. The sound of glass shattering made my emotions subside.
I caught my breath while gently stroking my stomach. Suddenly my tears fell.
From now on, every drop of my tears will turn into a drop of fire ready to burn them. While wiping away my tears, I took out my cell phone. My heart was racing rapidly, my body heating up. I had to get revenge for his treatment.
I opened the video I had recorded yesterday on my phone. I felt like vomiting watching every disgusting scene. I also opened my social media.
William once said I was an innocent, stupid, and obedient woman. But now I was going to prove him wrong.
I also clearly remember how William said I was like a pet dog. Today I will prove how a dog goes berserk and bites its cruel master.
I finally started sharing the video.
"Isn't it fun playing with your sister's husband, Audrey?" I made a note on the video I shared.
I had to leave him, a man like William was not worth fighting for.
And within minutes, I was flooded with nasty comments for William and Audrey.
"Shameless!"
"No common sense!"
"What an asshole!"
I was a little surprised to see William's comment among them.
And within seconds my cell phone rang. I smiled wryly as I saw William's name prominently displayed.
I didn't answer it, instead, I was now engrossed in reading a news notification on my phone screen.
"William Alberth Byson Mugo, a famous billionaire, is having an affair with his sister - in - law."
"William Alberth Byson's hot video!"
"The heinous deeds of Mr. William Alberth Byson Mugo!"
I smiled wryly at the news about my ex - husband. I'm sure destruction will befall him. The punishment for the betrayal he committed will soon be avenged.
I was glad to see people's diatribes against William and Audrey. Maybe I can be considered a bad woman for spreading other people's shame. But I don't care because now my heart has become dark. William has changed the color of my heart.
Last night I also called my lawyer to get our divorce papers drawn up.
As I was about to walk to the bathroom, my footsteps stopped as I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked very wrinkled. My eye bags were swollen.
My cell phone hadn't stopped ringing since earlier. I was actually too lazy to answer the phone, but I was also curious how angry William would be when he saw the hot video spread.
I finally decided to answer his phone.
As I started to move my fingers across the screen of my phone, I was surprised to hear William shouting.
"You bitch! You've got some nerve with me, Kimberly!" William's yelling sounded so piercing to my heart when he mentioned being a bitch.
Though the call was more suitable for Audrey. She was the real bitch in our household.
"Why are you angry, William? I should be angry because I have been betrayed by you!" I replied with annoyance. I gripped the skirt of my dress tightly.
In the past, every time William called me, he always spoke softly. Throwing romantic lines and paying attention to me. But now we looked like enemies at war.
"Quickly delete that video, Kimberly, or I'll divorce you!" William's snapping voice from the phone line made me imagine the expression on his face.
I chuckled softly at his words. "Without you doing it, I've already taken that action first, William. In two days, the divorce papers will be in your hands!" I replied while holding back my tears from falling again.
"Damn it! You've embarrassed us as a family, Kimberly. Tell me where you are, I'm going to kill you, Kimberly!" said William, who seemed to have noticed my departure.
Suddenly, my goosebumps started to rise. I immediately ended the phone call when William was busy babbling. I'm sure he must be having a tantrum right now.
He can't know about my existence. Let alone about my being pregnant. He would definitely kill me after the big mess I had made.
My head was throbbing with pain from the incessant noise of my cell phone ringing. I peeked slightly at my phone screen. My eyes widened as I saw about a hundred incoming calls from William and my family.
They also sent me several messages. I opened each one without any intention of replying.
"Kimberly, why are you causing such a big problem? You're hurting Audrey, see, because of you, she's crying and locked herself in her room. Watch out if something happens to her!" The message sent by my mom brought tears to my eyes again. She was supposed to be on my side? I was the victim here, not Audrey! After all, I am her biological daughter, while Audrey is only adopted.
Indeed, sometimes old love ties are hard to forget and let go.
And I opened the last message that made me shake my head.
"Thank you, Sister. Thanks to you, I will have William completely. He will definitely marry me, hurry up and divorce William! And keep that video, make it your wild fantasy when you miss William."
I gripped my phone tightly, reading the message sent by Audrey. She doesn't seem to be in her right mind. She wasn't even ashamed of her body that many people had watched.
"I know you must be jealous of my beautiful body." I stared annoyed at Audrey's last message.
"You're such a piece of trash! Do you really like other people's junk, Audrey?" I smiled wryly as I replied to her message before completely turning off my phone.
I wanted to disappear and hide. I blocked William's phone number as well as the rest of my family. Before William could trace my whereabouts, I turned off my cell phone. I also took the phone card in my cell phone.
"I will turn over a new leaf in this village. Goodbye, William. Thank you for the bad memories you gave me!" I said while breaking my cell phone card. I will start reorganizing my life.
I will make William and Audrey pay a heavy price for their betrayal!
