"What should be forgiven and what should not?"
She had so many thoughts on her mind on how she wanted the love of her life back despite their past which wasn't pleasant one bit.
Since their marriage , she has being walking on eggshells around him so as not to get him angry. Although she has tried to talk to him and try to bring up the past so they can both moved on TJ has refused and told her vehemently to stick to the contract she signed.
It has happened that few days after they got married and she had moved into his villa, she has thought that she could try to please him by bringing up the pleasant memories of the past to change the opinion of that awful night that had happened but all she ended up in doing was making him more angry.
She didn't really know what to do to get him to talk to her. He shun her whenever she brings up conversations. The only conversations they have was on parties he wants her to attend with him,the clothes he picked out for her and accessories.
Just like a vase is used to make a house pretty, hers was to look pretty in his arms and nothing else.
There was no love and he was never going to give her more and it hurts badly.
She watched him walk into the sitting room in long strides and in his usual cold tone which he uses on her say " there will be a party at my family 's residence next week and we are both attending".
" Can I not go? ", She asked nervously immediately she heard it was in his family residence.
" You signed up for this, so you can't turn it down", he said in a tone that brook no argument and walked out again.
Megan sat down not even knowing what to think cos the last place she wanted to go to was the Macallam 's residence.
They might be de creme de la creme that everyone wants to be seen at their party but certainly not her. She really didn't want to be anywhere near them.
Ever since the incident years ago, the Macallam family has been hostile towards her despite her several attempts to meet with them during that period.
The only time they granted her audience, she was so happy that she thought at least she could say her on side of what really happened when Mrs Bridget Macallam has told her shushed her not letting her say a word when she had said "if you really loves my son as you claimed to, please let him go . So he can move on with his life ".
She had been hurt but had done exactly that. It was that day she stopped calling and following TJ around.
Her getting married to him has come as a shock to them.
She remembered that they were on the dinning table having breakfast few days after she got married to him and moved over to his house when his phone had rang.
When he picked it she had heard his mom on the phone and telling him " over her dead body will she accept her as his wife"
Tj had barely told her that it has happened already and there was nothing anyone can do about it.
He made it sound as if he married her because he loves her and no longer cares about the past but want to build a future with her .
This words about his decision to marry her and no longer care about the past seem to piss his family off alot that their first meeting after so many years was an hostile one.
When they got to the house, while they were spoke to him as always they were cold towards her and didn't even care to hide it one bit.
They made her know exactly how they feel towards her that they didn't welcome her by ensuring that they excluded her in all their conversations and it had hurt like hell.
She had kept everything bottled up in and bear with all that happened till they left.
" Your family don't like me or want to see me", she stated as they got into the car when they were leaving his family 's residence.
" I know and do you blame them?", He asked her in a cold tone with looking at her as he concentrated on driving. You could see his jaw tighten and a tick on it showing how pissed he was.
Despite her understanding why they behave that way towards her, Megan know she didn't want to experience such again so she decided to avoid meeting them and she proceeded to tell him just that " I don't think I want to go over to theirs again".
" You don't have a choice to choose", he stated then continued " I do and I decide you will go everytime you need to be present ", he said as a matter of fact.
" This is so unfair ", she said almost close to tears. She didn't like the fact that she didn't have a choice in any of this.
"So was your cheating years ago", he stated as a matter of fact without looking at her.
" Can we just move on from that , please? ", she asked with tears filled eyes.
"You are getting every bit of what you deserve and I have no problem with it ", he answered as he glanced at her then back to his driving.
She find herself speechless from his heartless words.
What he said made her understand that he knew how his family will treat her and it was like he wants it that way. He was okay with anything that will cost her pain and this was part of his revenge.
Going to the Macallam 's villa scares her badly because she knows the kind of reception she was going to get there and She wasn't ready for it one bit.
