“Joziah’s trash, and so is everything he used. It should’ve been thrown away a long time ago. He’s too scared to even face me. He even went as far as to stage a fake death to try and fool everyone!
“He went to all that trouble because he’s too scared to see me. He knows that if I laid eyes on him, I’d force him to divorce me.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are both disgusted with him, and he knows it. His position as the Henderson family’s heir depends entirely on our marriage.
“If I leave him, he’ll lose everything, and he won’t be able to stand in high society anymore. But does he think I’ll just let him hide away forever? No chance. No matter where he hides, I’ll drag him out and divorce him right away!”
Hearing Samantha speak with such confidence, I could only smile bitterly.
I’d given so much to her. But to her, I was just a coward and a man whose standing in my family relied on her. Not to mention, I was just a hurdle between her and her true love.
At this point, Isaac’s eyes flickered briefly. In a strange tone, he asked, “Have the people you sent out returned with any news? Is there a chance that Joziah really is dead?”
“No way!” Samantha suddenly stood up, agitated.
“If it weren’t for him, I never would’ve gone through that horrible experience. Even if he died, it wouldn’t be enough to atone for his sins!
“The body I saw in the morgue that day was just a lame trick he pulled. Joziah is probably somewhere, laughing at my misery.
“It would be great if he died somewhere far off. At least I wouldn’t have had to pick up the phone to identify his body. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick!”
As she spoke, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Isaac passionately. “Make it up to me, Isaac. I’m about to lose it from disgust!”
Isaac laughed loudly, swept Samantha up, and tossed her onto the bed. He quickly made up for her with his body.
The two of them tumbled together.
Samantha wrapped her legs around him tightly, screaming and moaning in ecstasy.
I felt like knives were stabbing into me.
I couldn’t cry anymore, but why did it still hurt so much?
