~{CLIFFORD'S POV}~
***
"We were meant to talk about our relationship so we can end it but he refused…a-and tried to force himself on me…"
My eyes went wide in bewilderment as I looked at Daphne who was seriously in tears while uttering absolute nonsense.
Looking back at Arleen, I found her staring at the lady with a neutral expression.
Paul was strapped behind her like a backpack.
"Arleen, it's a lie!" I firmly said and watched how she looked at me briefly before looking back at Daphne.
As she took a step forward and another, my heart began to race in fear that she would decide to divorce me.
"Arleen…Arleen please don't listen to her." I softly said as I went to meet her but she walked past me and all the way to Daphne.
"Arleen, please don't take what she said to heart. It's a lie!" I angrily said.
Without saying a word, Arleen took Daphne by the arm and helped her up to her feet.
