Chapter 3 As I walked out of the meeting room , my body trembled uncontrollably , and I could only lean against the wall as I moved forward .
In the hallway , I ran into that man again .
He stood leisurely by the floor to ceiling windows , holding a cup of coffee , looking like a painting come to life .
The secretary bypassed me and walked over to him .
Mr.
Parker , everything has been settled .
I dragged myself over , and the secretary shot me a glance before discreetly leaving .
1/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points Excuse me , are you Alan Simpsons boss ? Simon Parker Simon Parker introduced himself but didnt spare me a single glance .
Miss Walker , I know youre going through a rough time .
Ten years of dating , seven of which he cheated , and now , just after your marriage , youve been dragged into this mess .
I sympathize with you .
But if youre here to plead on his behalf , I suggest you give up on that idea .
I stood awkwardly , feeling as though I was a mere glass of water that Simon Parker could see right through .
The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat , neither coming out nor staying down .
2/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points Simon Parker studied me with an amused look , a trace of mockery in his eyes .
Yes , I did look pitiful now .
The plea for mercy still didnt come out .
I left the company and drove to the police station .
Alan Simpson sat before me , handcuffed .
As I looked at the stern police officers in the corner , I leaned forward slightly , holding onto a sliver of hope and asked , Tell me the truth who is Alice Mitchell ? Did you embezzle money for her ? Alan Simpson lowered his head further , his expression grim , but he remained silent .
It was his silence , his refusal to speak , that caused my heart to plunge .
3/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points I stood to leave , but suddenly , he lunged forward and tried to embrace me .
The police officers immediately restrained him and pinned him to the table .
He squirmed , his face covered in tears and snot , like a dying maggot .
Clara , I didnt mean it .
I was drunk that day ! He broke free from the officers grasp and rushed to grab my hand .
I love you , but Alice Mitchell is pregnant .
The doctor said its a boy .
Clara , please help me .
Once she has the baby , we can get married .
The child can stay with you .
Alan Simpsons head must have been kicked by a donkey ! 4/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points I glared at him , disgusted , and yanked my hand away .
He was pulled back by the officers , but his eyes remained filled with desperate hope .
Alan Simpson , do you take me for a fool ? You want me to raise the child of your mistress ? Your schemes are so loud theyre practically making my ears ring ! He kept babbling , trying to persuade me , but I didnt even spare him another glance as I walked away .
When I got home , my clothes were thrown in the hallway , and I could hear a racket coming from inside .
Alice Mitchell was arrogantly directing 5/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points several workers , making a mess of my carefully arranged living room .
Even the potted plants I had nurtured were tossed into the trash .
How ugly ! No taste at all .
Living in a house like this would give me nightmares , Alice Mitchell sneered , holding her belly , yanking off the sofa cover and tossing it to the floor .
Replace this trash with silk , she ordered , as if silk were the only acceptable material .
Why not just use gold thread ? Let the formaldehyde kill your brain , you idiot ! I stormed in and ordered the workers to stop .
Alice Mitchell rolled her eyes at me and lazily sat on the sofa , watching me .
Dont think you can act all high and mighty .
Alan Simpsons parents are out buying 6/8 Chapter 3 + 5 Points groceries and will be back soon , she drawled .
I was so enraged that I laughed through clenched teeth .
I pulled the property deed out of the drawer and threw it in her face .
Alice Mitchell , take a good look .
My name is also on this .
This is a house Alan Simpson and I bought together , a joint asset .
Even if we divorce , dont think youll get a single penny ! Alice Mitchell rubbed her belly , unfazed .
Who cares ? The baby in my belly is Alan Simpsons child .
This house should have a share for the baby ! Suddenly , she stood up , taking slow steps toward me , cornering me .
