30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 36

When a bucket of ice water drenched Estrella, he shot up from her bed like a cat that had just had its tail stepped on flailing to rid herself of the cold shock

The young maid, trembling with the empty bucket still in her hands, stammered. “Ms. Estrella, it was Mr. Jason’s orders.

The maid cast a fretful glance at Jason, who stood with his hands nonchalantly tucked in his pockets, eyeing Estrella with icy detachment Without a word, Estrella grabbed a decorative paperweight from the nightstand and hurled it at Jason, shouting, “Jason, are you out of your damn mind?”

Water droplets scattered as she threw the object with all her might

The maid, sensing Estrella’s fury, scampered out of the room, clutching the bucket.

Jason dodged the paperweight with ease. Estrella, soaked and fuming, leaped from the bed to confront him physically. Despite her usually impressive agility, she found herself at a disadvantage against Jason. Her attempts to hit him with various objects only managed to leave a slight scratch on his cheek

When Estrella threw her clothes at Jason in a fit of anger, he grabbed her chin. His voice cut through the air like a knife, “Is it me going crazy or you, Estrella? You invited a stranger into our home, into my room?”

His grip was firm, whitening the skin of her cheek. Estrella laughed bitterly, shaking off his hand

“Jason, if you can’t remember what happened last night, why don’t you ask Thomas to jog your memory? Ask him whose name you were slurring when you stumbled home.”

His face changed at the mention of his drunken antics, but his irritation flared at being pushed away by Estrella. “You want to play the saint, Estrella? Fine, I’ll indulge you. I’ll bring her home today, and you can clear out. Pack your stuff and get as far away as possible.”

Over two years of marriage, he had barely done anything with Serene, and Estrella had already let someone into their lives. Fine, he’d make it official.

Estrella’s cold laughter followed her bold declaration, “I’ll leave. I’ll leave right now.”

After saying that, she stormed out, not looking back. Jason, in a rage, destroyed anything within reach in the room.
