|CHAPTER SEVEN|
"ETHAN?" My voice was scratchy and even stuttered while saying Ethan's name.
I'm shocked, I'm shocked as I look at him, I'm very angry.
How many years have passed?
we just met again after a few years without illness.
"E-Ethan w-what g-gina---"
He gave me a slap after I didn't finish speaking.
My cheeks were still swollen as I was even more surprised by what he did to slap me.
"How dare you Rina!!" He angrily told me that if it wasn't enough, someone would blow smoke out of his ears and nose out of anger.
"How could you deceive and fool me?! Why Catherina?! Isn't what I gave you enough and after you robbed me of money you're going to leave and go with another man?! Are you really that desperate for money?!" He said angrily as if he was very disappointed with what I did.
I frowned and turned to him in surprise. "I-I robbed you of p-money? E-Ethan w-what are you doing--"
He cut me off again. "Are you really going to refuse?! Rina why?!!" I looked at him with sadness, almost crying, because of his accusations against me.
I shook my head. "I-I didn't steal anything from you Ethan! I didn't steal anything! what you are accusing me of is not true! You know I won't--"
"After all, who is a thief who will tell his fault." It also shook its head while saying those words.
What money was stolen?
I did not steal!
I didn't steal anything!
"The company stole money. they conducted an investigation and you were the one who was found guilty. There is a fact that you stole Rina! At first I didn't believe it because I knew you couldn't do that! But when I saw that you were with another man, I believed what they were saying that you just used me. You just used me Rina." I kept shaking my head and denying him as tears poured down my face.
"I-I can't do that Ethan! That's not true!" I shouted at him and denied.
"You are so bad Rina! even my son who has not even seen the world sympathized with your desperation! Why?! Why did you let my child disappear?! Our son?!" He shook my shoulder.
sympathized?
My child?
I'm confused!
What is he saying?
Our son is alive!
Our son Ethan is alive!
That's what I wanted to say to him but I couldn't even open my mouth to say those things.
Why?! What happened?
Why is he pressuring me?
I remembered Andrea.
Andrea!
Andrea must have done this to discredit me in Ethan's eyes.
Is that why Ethan didn't show up to me after that, because they blame me for stealing money from the company?
I clenched my hands and continued to cry.
"I will put you in jail Catherina. Not in prison, but in a hellish life with me." he said with an angry expression on his face.
I looked at him again even though he was a bit blurry in my vision due to crying and there was a look of surprise on his face.
"You will marry me and you will not reject me, because the moment you reject me, I will kill your friend Jane. I will give you one day. That will be your payment for deceiving and betraying me, Rina." He said before starting to walk away in front of me.
when I couldn't see him, I fell to my knees because of the pain I felt.
Why did you believe Ethan?!
Why?!
I fell to the floor while crying all over and couldn't believe what Ethan said.
And how did I kill our son?
If only he knew!
our son is alive and healthy!
And what man did I accompany?
Is this referring to Josh?
"It's a mistake to believe them Ethan." I whispered to myself and slowly stood up.
I cried AGAIN when I remembered what happened.
Why did Andrea come back?!
why is this happening in my life now?
The whole day I didn't even eat and left the room.
I think I can't do it anymore.
I always get hurt.
Is there no more pleasure for me?
Even a little?
