Chapter 1

Amanda was on the first floor as she looked at how the guests were flowing downstairs. She had been through a lot and was in pain.

“Look, look who is here.” A voice startled her, making her look behind.

“What do you want, Eunice?” she asked softly with her head looking down.

“What do I want? Who do you think you are to talk back to me?” Eunice asked angrily.

“I am currently not in the mood to argue with you. This grandma’s birthday and it would be a pity if you destroyed it with your tantrums,” Amanda said calmly.

Today was the old woman’s seventieth birthday. Even if everyone in the house hated her and made everything difficult for her, she had to play the role of the daughter–in–law of the Scott family.

“Don’t you feel ashamed opening your stinking m*uth while talking to me? But at least you know your place. Don’t you dare go downstairs and disgrace our family more than you had done by marrying into this family,” Eunice sneered as she walked past Amanda who stood there emotionless.

There was nothing she could do to Eunice since she was Damian’s little sister. How she wished that Damian wasn’t out of the country. Even though he doesn’t like her, he respects her as his wife and has always stood up for

her.

and let your jealousy get the best of you,” Eunice shouted as she reached the

staircase.

Amanda felt betrayed and humiliated, she didn’t understand why they all preferred that old witch to her. She knew that she was prettier than the woman hence she didn’t know what to do to gain her in–law’s love and affection which they gave to another person.

“Marie?” she murmured.

She did not even listen to Eunice as she was saying those words but now understood. She knew that if Marie was coming that meant that Damian too would be coming.

She felt as if she had been pierced in her heart. Everyone knew that he was coming apart from her. He didn’t even call or text her to tell her that he would be coming. Nonetheless, she had missed the man. She ran to her room and locked the door. After taking the phone, she called her husband whom he had saved as hubby.

After the second ring, the call was connected.

“Why are you calling?” he asked grumpily.

“Mmh, I am sorry for calling,” she said softly, afraid to make him more mad than he already was.

“What do you want?” he shouted.
