Amber’S POV

This would be the first time that I would be seeing Kayden face–to–face like this since our divorce

three months ago, and the fact that those were his first words to me after not seeing me in a long

time made me extremely angry.

But it suddenly occurred to me that showing my anger was only going to make me look even more

pathetic, so I made up my mind that I was going to pretend to be cool.

I moved closer to the car and glared at him mildly. “What the hell are you talking about, Kayden?” I

hissed at him, and he chuckled.

He relaxed his back on his seat, almost as if he wanted me to get a glimpse of the inside of his car,

and to my surprise, Marlene was sitting there with a big mocking smile on her face.

She was rubbing her belly with one hand while the other hand was intertwined with Kayden’s free hand

My heart raced violently and my legs shook, but I maintained an unreadable expression as I stared

back at them.

“Hold on, you two. Did you decide to stop me just so you could show me how far along you are and how

happy I’m presuming you both are with each other?” I asked, wondering what exactly prompted them

even acknowledge my presence at all.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to be on your honeymoon or something?” I asked.

“Oh, come on, Amber. Can you not hear how ridiculous you sound right now? Why can’t you just thin

that we stopped to acknowledge you simply because we wanted to say hello? I mean, you’re still my big sister on paper, Marlene responded, and I had the strong urge to throw a shoe at her face for

sounding so dumb.

“You see…” I started. “I get that you’re happy and all, and I know sometimes overly happy people

turn to lose their senses, but how about you do me a favor and quit with the hypocrisy? You have no business saying hello to me, so next time you happen to pass by and you see me, do yourself a favor

and don’t stop to say hello,” I warned.

“Listen, sis, I understand that you’re probably still bitter about the fact that you’re unmarried and alone, but do yourself a favor and try not to take it out on me. My husband and I only wanted to say hello to you as the good people that we are, so appreciate the fact that we even took the time to speak to you instead of being so rude to us,” she responded, and I almost could not believe my ears.

“You must be so proud of yourself for f**king your sister’s husband and getting pregnant for him. while he was still married, Marlene. I mean, if we’re being completely honest, this has to be the biggest achievement of your life. It’s not like you’ve ever done anything noteworthy, so I understand why you’re so eager to show off a man you successfully got as your first win,” I responded, not wanting her to have the last word because it would hurt my pride if she did.

“What rubbish are you spouting, you b*tch? Have you finally gone mad? I heard you were seeing therapist, so I’m guessing you’re not very normal in the head right now,” Marlene retorted, and I had to clench my fists to avoid the thoughts that came to mind.

“It does seem like she’s not doing well, dear. She doesn’t even look like a normal person at home. I mean, look at her, she looks like some stray animal,” Kayden replied, and they both shook their heads as if they were pitying me.

I knew that I should have just walked away and allowed them to continue to look like the idiots that they were, but my pride just wasn’t letting me.

It sounds to me like if I walked away from them, I would be indirectly telling them that they still had power over me and that I was still hurt by their betrayal. Even if that were the case, the last thing I wanted to do was make it so obvious.

Sighing. I responded. “I honestly don’t care if you guys want to feel good about yourself by calling me insane. The sooner you realize that you don’t have that power over me anymore, the better it’s going to be for both of you. Also, Marlene, let me give you this final advice as your big sister. You’re about to become a mother, and I highly doubt that you want your child to grow up and end up becoming as bitter and as envious as you are,” I started.

“If you don’t want to end up raising a child that would turn out like you and go about seducing people s husbands or wives, then I’ll advise you to stop acting like Kayden is the best thing you could ever have. Have some self–worth and stop being such an embarrassment. Have a good evening.” I added, ar not wanting to hear any other nonsense that they had to say, I walked away.

But of course, Marlene wasn’t going to just let it go. She went as far as stepping out of the car and yelling out my name so loudly that it took me aback.

2/3

dare to call me the crazy one when you’re the one acting crazy!”

Marlene scoffed. “I’ve always known that you thought you were better than me all these years. But

guess what, you b*tch? You have never been better than me, and you will never be. The only thing yo

are is a sorry excuse of a human being, and I feel really bad for you because you and I both know

that nob*dy really cares about you. Anyb*dy that comes close to you would immediately know that

you’re a sad good for nothing, and you’ll always be that till the day you die,” she retorted, and I

froze.

As much as I didn’t want to admit it, her words hit a nerve, and I couldn’t deny that she had a point.

about nob*dy really caring about me. But her words only fueled my desire to destroy her.

“Thank you for the kind words, Marlene. But you know what? Don’t ever sleep with both eyes close

dear sister. You better have an eye open, because I’m coming for you, and I swear, Marlene, I will

not rest until I make sure you know what it feels like to be me.”
