"How dare you threaten to sue my son over a small sum of money?!" The familiar voice echoed in my ear. It finally clicked in my head. It was Laura, Blake's mother, my ex-mother-in-law.
I was now wide awake as I sat up straighter, pressing the phone against my ear. I turned on the bedside lamp, the soft yellow glow lit up the room.
A cold chuckle emerged from my throat.
"If it's just a small sum of money then I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for Blake right?" I questioned, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
She scoffed loudly on the other end of the line. "Don't be sarcastic with me, Aurelia," she sneered with disdain. "My son was the one providing for you the past two years and this is how you repay him? Have you always been so greedy and selfish?"
"So what if I am?" I retorted fiercely. "I'm not the one bringing another woman on a vacation and paying for her rent with my partner's money without her consent!"
