When he chose her over me!

(ARIELLE'S POV)

I retired to the room upstairs, my head throbbing with a migraine.

I couldn't believe what had just happened in the dining room. Jared didn't even scold Sofia for insinuating that I poisoned her. He knew me too well, that I wouldn't hurt a fly, not to mention a human being.

I didn't like Sofia, alright, but the last thing I wound ever do was hurt her. I wasn't even aware that she was allergic to milk, not to mention putting it in her meal just to harm her.

She must be rejoicing now, knowing that her plan to cause a rift between me and Jared had worked. We couldn't even have dinner in peace. Her presence is always disrupting the peace of my marriage. I sighed and collapsed on the bed, wondering what to do to get Sofia out of Jared and I's life.

Realizing that I was feeling sleepy, I got off the bed and walked into the bathroom for my night shower. After I was done, I slipped into a comfortable night robe and slumped on the bed in exhaustion.

I didn't know how long I slept, but I woke up with a dry throat and a thirsty tongue yearning for water. I got off the bed, slipped my legs into my flip-flops and made my way downstairs, to the kitchen.

I had just ascended the stairs and was about to take the hallway that led to the kitchen when I heard voices. On inching closer, I realized it was Jared and Sofia conversing.

My face frowned in disapproval as I looked at the grandfather clock at the far corner, and it read 11 o'clock at night. Why the hell was Jared up by that time and talking to her? He was supposed to be in bed with me.

Deciding not to concern myself with their matter, I made to continue my journey to the kitchen. But just then, Sofia's voice filtered to my ears, it was not just her voice, but her words. I stopped in my tracks as I listened to her.
