Beyond the Divorce
A Slut Playing the Victim Matthew had a hunch that something was about to go down.
He looked at me coldly and asked, âHoney, what are you doing?â I looked at Matthew and said, âWhat do you mean? Youâll find out once Melanie arrives.
Itâs not me causing trouble.
Itâs her.Matthew sensed my determination and turned to Ivanna.
âWhatâs going on here?â Ivanna stood behind me with her arms crossed.
She replied, âYouâre asking me? Maybe you should ask your dear sister when she gets here.â The atmosphere in the office became extremely awkward.
It was clear that I was an unwelcome guest..
Just then, Melanie strolled into the room.
When she noticed the crowd in the office, she froze and glared at me.
âChloe, what are you up to? Whatâs all this about?â I wished I could tear Melanie apart when she pretended nothing had happened.
I locked eyes with her and said, âYouâve done something extraordinary, and Iâm here to note your achievements.
Are you scared now? âScared? Why would I be?â Melanie rolled her eyes.
She quickly turned the tables and said, âMatt, this woman made you a cuckold today.
Some guy carried her off in broad daylight.
Itâs been two hours now, and who knows what they did! I certainly donât!â Melanie stressed the word âdidâ to suggest something scandalous.
Before she could finish, Ivannaâs lightningâfast hand smacked her across the face.
Melanie cried out in surprise and stumbled while holding her face.
âAh! Matt!â Everyone in the room was shocked.
Their eyes were filled with fear as they watched Ivanna, who radiated anger.
Melanieâs parents demanded, âWhatâs going on? Why are you being violent?â Matthew barked, âvanna, have you lost it? How dare you make a scene in my office?!â ving stared at Matthew with fury in her eyes.
âMatthew, you bet Iâve lost it.
So what? Are you upset because slapped her? If you dare, take her side and slap me back.

âWho gave you the right to hit me?!â âYouâve slapped my best friend.
And you have the nerve to play the victim after doing something so disgraceful? Woman, you deserve more than a slap.
Donât push your luck! âDo you dare confront Chloe in front of me? Try it, and Iâll rip your mouth out.
Whatâs the matter? Youâve got the guts to do things but not to admit it?â vannaâs words hit Matthew right where they hurt.
He glanced at me with displeasure and said, âSpeak! What has she done?â Clearly, he thought I was causing trouble for no reason, and Melanie was not guilty of any wrongdoing.
âYou should ask her!â I shouted forcefully, my anger burning.
Matthew sensed the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
He sternly warned, âEveryone, leave.
This is a family matter.â The curious onlookers exchanged hesitant glances before exiting the room.
They knew things were.
getting complicated.
Johnson was among the departing crowd.
He lowered his head and discreetly left the room.
I called out to him, âJohnson, please stay! We need an outsider to see if Iâm causing trouble.
I wonât take the fall for this! Arenât you the rightâhand man of the Murphy family?! I want you to bear witness!â With that, Johnson had no choice but to stay.
