The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 175

I put the key in the lock, ready to open the front door of my home. I'm full of reluctance. I know that Knox and Silas are already inside, but I'm not sure to what extent my husband is intoxicated. Sabrina is right behind me and I'm praying with everything in me that Silas isn't that drunk because I don't want to explain to her all that has been going on lately.

The moment I open the front door, I'm met with Silas's loud voice. Why is he shouting like that? Quickly, I rush inside, not knowing why he's acting like that.

"What's going on?" I ask, looking between him and Knox. The two of them are standing in front of each other and anger is obvious on their faces. There are two bulky football players in my living room who are one step away from throwing punches. This is truly unprecedented. I have never seen Silas and Knox fight before.

"He thinks he can prevent me from drinking!" Silas shouts. His voice indicates how drunk he is. The more I stare at my husband, the more I realize that if Knox gives him the slightest push, he will fall. It's not because of his injury, but Silas is swaying due to the amount of alcohol in his body.-

"Maybe it's because you need to stop drinking," I tell him, but he scoffs, rolling his eyes.

"You can't tell me what to do and what not to do, Rosie." He limps over to me. He is starting to ditch the cane nowadays, which is a good step.

"I can when I see that all you're doing is destroy yourself," I challenge him, feeling sick and tired

"I'm Silas Cromwell. I have made a big name for myself that I no longer need others' guidance," he proudly slurs. He isn't even making any sense. How is that logical?
