The room was still decorated with petals for our anniversary, but everything had changed.
Now I have found out our marriage was just a big scam and my father is dead.
The door swung open and Cain stepped inside the room.
“I'm sorry about your father's death Elle, you know I love you, but you shouldn't tell anyone about the accident with Aliya.”
I flung up from the bed, even though my body ached with every movement.
“It was no accident, she pushed me down on purpose.” I spat back.
His expression darkened and he took a slow step forward.
“I was there, it was all an accident, Aliya didn’t mean to hurt you.”
I stumbled backwards, my face twisting with confusion.
“But…” I stammered
“Do you understand?” He growled
My mind spun, my heart racing. I clutched my heart as I thought of my dead child. I could barely nod my head in response.
“If you want to stay in this house, you shut your mouth and be a good girl.” He ordered then stormed out of the room.
I stared at the door as it slammed shut behind him. I was losing my mind.
My father's funeral was the next day, my body felt frozen still as I watched his body lay cold and pale in the coffin.
