At the restaurant, I made up my mind to maintain my composure, not to mess things up even though Liam has messed with my psyche and emotions. I walked gently to my sit with my legs shaking badly. Tears having filled my eyes made it swollen.
When I looked up, behold Charlotte seated in the midst of three men with two women well dressed in their expensive dresses. Thy must be the clients Liam told me were going to join them.
Thoughts running through my mind and I wasn't weather Liam actually said the Truth that they were actually talking business. But I didn't clear up the feeling that Liam and Charlotte has strong connection and something going on between them
My heart is troubled, I'm restless about the whole situation. Nevertheless, as I sit down, Ava and her mother started what they are good at which is antagonizing me in a bid to provoke me and to get to know what my reactions would be.
You ugly witch, I don't know how you manipulated your way to my son's life.
My eyes locked onto my mom's, that to say , you caused all this but my mom quickly looked away in regret.
I know Liam really loved me but, things have already been messed up and my mom should be blame for this.
"But wait, how did everything get to this point, how did I ever listen to my mom to detriment of my marriage?"
"While I was yet thinking, Ava added, you stinking bitch, what did my brother even see in you that attracted him to you?" Ava taunted me. After several minutes have passed since I got back to my sit.
This words were so painful that it caused tears to spring to my eyes. I do not let the tears fall though, but desperately blink them back.
The abuses by Liam's mom and sister is too much, knowing too well how I loved and do want to spend the rest of my life with Liam, but my mom have caused whole mess up.
By her look, one would think that she is virtuous woman, not that all she can do sit back home, day in, day out, eating everything in sight, spending my son's money at will and continue in wicked behaviour without anything valuable to write home about her attitude, my mother in-law adds her input.
So when are going to release Liam, so he can go ahead to build his union with his new wife from the shakes in which you have bound him? since it's obvious that you have failed the task as a wife just as you have failed at everything in life. Ava asked me.
Maybe, it's time for you to fulfill the task as a wife to your brother by yourself, you're old enough. After all you can't even find away to a man's heart, I should be calling you a bunch of failure. And I'm sure you can't treat a man to be convinced to marry you. I retort angrily.
This was a surprise to both of them, because ever since I got married to Liam, I've talked back at them.
"I began to apologize in regret to what I've just done. I….I.. am sorry, before I could stammer out my apologies, Ava stood up with the speed of a snake and landed a resounding slap on my face .
My cheek sitting as though it has been scalded. Maybe I will see an imprint of Ava's palm if I look into the mirror because of how hard the slap was.
The resounding slap kept everyone dumbfounded. What else can I call this, humiliation? That sounds like an understatement. The public my relationship With Liam has caused me is as a result of my mother's advise. I can feel everyone looking at is.
I could not look up so I won't see the people's gaze because I was too embarrassed. Thinking that Liam would come to my aid, I am actually thinking about the impossible.
Liam decided to remain indifferent after the embarrassing scenario. He rather choose not to meddle with his family affair with me. He definitely will not come to my aid. I know that as well as I know my name.
Ava and her mom gets into a silent argument. Ava, that was not right, you should have endured till we get home before teaching her the lesson of her life.
Laim came apologizing, because Liam cannot stand the sight of seeing me being humiliated. But what could he do, this his family.
After several seconds, I went to the restroom to pour out the ocean of tears behind my eyelids. At the restroom, I stumbled on Liam kissing his girlfriend passionately
I have no way of knowing that the horrible events of tonight is far way from over.
At the restroom, I had expected Liam comes to explain to me why he would be kissing his so called business partner.
Buzz…I received a message on my phone and it was my mom trying to check on me. Emily, where are you, hope you're fine? I ignored the message as the humiliation scene still running in my head.
I sat in the restroom resting my head on the restroom wall.
I get up abruptly and head home. A sob tearing it way out of me. If I ever thought nothing could hurt me more, I have thought wrongly. I found out that minutes after I have gotten home.
I had footsteps at the door and that was Liam.
