Atha Arnold POV:

我那时像个疯子一样, 一次又一次地拨打亚历山大的电话, 但电话那头始终是冰冷的忙音. 我的指尖因过度用力而发白, 心跳得像是要冲出胸膛. 他把我完全屏蔽了.

绝望中, 我转而联系肯尼迪. 我打开了我们之间唯一的联系方式--一个她常用的社交媒体账号. 我颤抖着输入了一段话, 每一个字都带着血泪.

"肯尼迪, 妈妈知道你不喜欢我, 但爸爸他... 他要和我离婚了. 如果你愿意, 妈妈可以带你离开这里, 我们去一个没有人认识的地方重新开始. 可如果你选择留下, 妈妈也不会怪你. 但告诉我, 你选谁? "

我的指尖悬停在发送键上, 犹豫了很久. 我期望, 我奢望, 肯尼迪能有一丝丝的犹豫, 一丝丝的留恋. 我告诉她, 我们的婚姻就像一座摇摇欲坠的危楼, 随时可能坍塌.

几秒钟后, 我的手机震动了. 是肯尼迪的回复.

"我选择爸爸! " 她的文字带着稚嫩的尖锐, 像针一样扎进我的眼睛, 我的心.

"我不想和你一起走! 你是个坏妈妈, 我讨厌你! "

"我喜欢克里斯汀阿姨, 她比你对我好一百倍! "

我的世界, 在那一刻彻底崩塌了. 我感到全身的血液都凝固了, 只剩下冰冷的绝望. 他只关心克里斯汀, 而我的女儿, 也彻彻底底地选择了他和那个女人. 我被全世界抛弃了. 我的生命, 似乎已经没有任何意义了.

一阵清脆的铃声突然响起, 把我从无尽的黑暗中拉回现实. 是音乐教室的门铃.

一个年轻的母亲带着她的小女儿走了进来.

"阿莎老师, 我们来上钢琴课了. " 她微笑着对我说.

我深吸一口气, 努力平复内心的波澜, 挤出一个笑容. 我不能让我的学生看到我脆弱的一面. 我将那些痛苦的回忆深埋心底, 转身走向钢琴.

"好的, 请坐吧. " 我的声音听起来比我想象中要平静得多.

我正准备开始上课, 教室的门再次被猛地推开. 亚历山大, 他竟然又回来了. 他大步走到我面前, 脸上阴沉得可怕.

"你给我出来! " 他不是在询问, 而是命令.

那个年轻的母亲被吓到了, 她不安地拉着女儿的手, 想要离开.

"先生, 我们正在上课... " 我试图解释.

"上什么课? 你这破店, 从现在开始关门! " 亚历山大打断了我的话, 他的声音带着不容置疑的威严.

他转身指着那个母亲和孩子, 冷冽地命令道: "滚出去! "

那个母亲惊恐地拉着女儿, 匆匆离开了教室, 甚至忘了拿她们的包.

亚历山大走到门口, 一把抓起 "营业中" 的牌子, 重重地翻到了 "暂停营业" . 他转过身, 眼神像两把冰冷的刀子, 直直地刺向我.

"你到底去了哪里? 为什么要不声不响地开这家店? 你知不知道这会给我带来多大的麻烦? " 他的声音带着压抑的愤怒, 每一个字都像重锤一样砸在我心上.

"你以为你现在是什么身份? 一个被遗弃的女人? 你曾经是我的妻子, 你必须维护我的面子! "

他每说一个字, 我的心就更冷一分. 他从来没有关心过我的感受, 他只在乎他的面子, 他的形象.
