Love After Seeing Through the Lies

Suddenly, I felt utterly drained.

“Chris, you have been indoors for a long time. You probably forgot the temperature today? I waited for you at the door of the City Hallfor a whole day. My whole body was stiff. You told me that it was nothing serious. You just forgot?”

Chris was very impatient. “I apologize, okay? I really forgot...”

I ignored him and continued.

“And Sharon, you don't have to pretend here. We have known each other for so many years. As soon as you opened your mouth, I knew what you wanted to do. If you were really sorry, how could you ask Chris to help you on the day when you knew we were getting the marriage certificate and you both forgot that there was me and you even post that picture of your hands on social media, making sure I’d see it?”

“You want to grab Zack with one hand and Chris with the other. I will help you, but in the future, don't store your unwanted garbage with me anymore.”

Chris's furious voice came from the receiver, “Maggie, you are too much. How can you humiliate Sharon like this?! She is not the kind of person you said. Apologize to her immediately!”

I sneered, “Chris, let's break up!”

“Break up? Okay, then don't cry and beg me to get back together like before. You have played this trick too many times and I am tired of it even if you are not tired of it. In the past, I could still forgive you for Sharon's face, but this time, unless you can ask Sharon for forgiveness. Otherwise, forget about the wedding. “

My heart was stabbed with pain, half because of Chris and Sharon's betrayal and cruelty and the other half because of my own disappointment. The sobs at the corners of my mouth could not be stopped and I hung up the phone immediately. I wanted to keep my last bit of dignity in front of them.

I walked slowly along the street. The cold wind at night was more violent and they cut my flesh like a knife. I trembled with pain.

Unconsciously, I walked to the downstairs of the house I rented with Chris.

I looked up and counted one floor at a time, “123...7.”

The lights were off, Chris was probably still with Sharon.

My brain, which was aching from the wind, began to have wild thoughts.

What were they doing now? At this time, were they having dinner together, watching TV together, or doing some intimate sports?

Thinking of this, I raised my hand and slapped myself. “Maggie, you should wake up. He is just a scumbag, you should let him go. “

After entering the door, looking at this warm little home that I decorated bit by bit, I couldn't help but shed tears again.

Every story that happened here was vivid. I still remembered that when we just moved in, Chris was also happy. That night, we sat on the sofa, watching TV and talking about our future.

I remembered that time when the water pipe at home broke, I was scared when I came downstairs. After sending the neighbors away, Chris held me in his arms to comfort me.

Maybe he had feelings for me at that time? I laughed at myself, maybe, but it was no match for the white moonlight in his heart.

I started to pack my things while sobbing. It was around 11 o'clock when I finished packing.

It was hard to get a taxi at night. I waited for almost an hour at the gate of the house complex before I could barely get one.

After getting in the car and reporting the last digit of my mobile phone number, I leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, I felt a chill, looked up and looked forward and met the driver's eyes in the rearview mirror.

He smiled obscenely, “Pretty lady, are you just off work? “

His eyebrows slightly raised and his eyes looked me up and down.
