Chapter 24

Yvan’s heart quaked as Matilda’s words struck him, but he had been there when Rachel was pushed. How could he have possibly mistaken the person? It was Matilda who had done it

“Cut the act, Matilda. If you had something to say, you should ve socken up five years ago!

“Did you ever give me a chance to speak?” Finally, Matilda’s laughter was laced with tears. “Of that’s right, you never believed a word I said. I’ve been your wife for five years, no better than a dog at your feet, and you’ve never spared me a glance, not even onel Yvan, you don’t love me. so why on earth did you marry me? How could you do this to me, to Rachel?”

“I only loved Rachel. I married you because you found your way into my bed!” Yvan couldn’t contain his anger any longer, his voice raising in accusation, it was you who climbed into my bed!”

“Is that what you think of me? Have you really forgotten everything? Matilda’s laugh broke, her body shaking. “There’s a saying that couldn’t be more true–Love and affection mean nothing!”

“Yvan, let’s just say everything I ever did for you was a joke. If I had a second chance, I would never choose to meet you! Yvan, I only hope that one day you will realize your mistake,” She cursed inwardly, her regret overwhelming!

The hatred in her eyes was evident. She claimed to be over it, claimed it didn’t matter, but the truth was, her hate ran so deep that forgiving or not forgiving seemed inconsequential–she had strangled all her love and hope for him the moment he had sent her to jail five years ago.

“Yvan, I don’t seek redemption. I only wish to curse you; may you never find love in this life!” She prayed silently.
