Chapter 8%
I saw the furry pet that I had loved for ten years locked in a cage. When it saw me, it wagged its tail wildly.”
He first banged the cage door excitedly, then looked at me helplessly.
I was so eager to save the little kid that I actually forgot that Marlon was a ruthless character who dominated the business world.”
He had plenty of ways to deal with people.
But in order to save Isaias, he was so despicable.
“Let Jake go! Marlon, do you have any bottom line? You actually used Jake to deceive me?“}
Marlon walked up to me with red eyes. He took my hand and kissed it devoutly.
“Margret, stop it. I was wrong. I did not consider your feelings. You’ve raised Jake for ten years and treated him like a child. You’re so worried about Jake, but why can’t you understand my worry about Isaias? >
“Isaias has been in a bad state these past two days. I’ve thought about it that you and Melanie are really not suitable to be together. Mrs. Taylor is back from vacation, so come home with me and take good care of your baby.“}
I responded by giving him a loud slap in the face.
That night, Marlon escorted me home.”
He changed all the locks in the house and put me under house arrest.
Marlon would come home to see me every other day and ask about my eating habits.}
He tried every way to make me happy, from my favorite delicacies to expensive jewelry.}
He tried to be generous and sincere.
But none of this could outweigh the faint scent of daisy perfume Marlon wore every time he came home.
My sense of smell had become more acute since I became pregnant.”
I was very sure that it was Melanie’s smell. I would never forget it in my life, even if I had only smelled it once.
So, whenever Marlon came close to me, I would remember him lying next to Melanie the day before and I felt so sick that I wanted to vomit.
Leave, I had to leave.
This was the only thought left in my mind.
That day, he took care of me at home all day because I had morning sickness.
In the evening, Marlon received a phone call. I knew it was Melanie urging him.}
I knew he would leave anyway and sure enough, within five minutes, he came out and said goodbye to me after kissing me on the forehead. I pretended to be asleep and did not respond.”
But as soon as he left, I immediately sat up, took out the gold jewelry hidden under the bed and threw myself directly in front of Mrs. Taylor.”
“Mrs. Taylor, please let me go. Marlon doesn’t love me. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”
Mrs. Taylor looked confused and gave me back all the gold necklaces.
“Madam, please get up quickly, you are still pregnant!“}
I knew she was my only chance. So, I immediately picked up a fruit knife and put it against her neck.
