His expression darkened as he snapped back, “I’ve always treated her like a sister. Don’t twist everything in your head to make it dirty.”
I gave a bitter smile.
“Thomas, do you really think I don’t know what you’ve been doing with your so-called ‘sister’?”
“Five years of marriage and every time you dreamed beside me, you called Jessica’s name. Even on our honeymoon, you ditched me halfway to go see her.”
Thomas froze for a couple of seconds, then decided to drop the pretense altogether.
“Yes, I love her. If it weren’t for all your pandering to my mother over the years, why on earth would I stoop to marrying some outdated girl from the countryside?”

Clearly, I was wrong.
In his heart, there was only his first love, Jessica. To him, I was just a shallow, conniving woman after status.
“What scheme are you playing at now?”
