The Woman From Hell

Chapter 141

"Stand right there!” Zedd's unpleasant voice rang from behind me. “What do you think you're doing, Wanda Lane?”

I stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "Am I not clear enough? As a wife, I've done all that I'm supposed to do. Since Ms. Reed, the mistress, strongly insists on doing everything else that comes after this, I'll take my leave. I know my place. Why is that wrong?"

"Remarkable speech." Zedd scoffed. "I thought you claimed to love Theo so much? He's still in the operating room yet you can’t wait to leave. Is this the attitude you should have as a wife?"

I could not help but laugh as I shot a look at Cindy, saying, "I do love him. That's why when I learned my husband got into an accident when he was on a date with his mistress, I came as soon as I could to fulfill m y marital duties as a wife to sign the consent form so his treatment wouldn't be delayed. This will be the last time I show affection toward him."

"Wanda Lane, you cruel woman! You don't deserve to b e Theowy's wife." After hearing what I had to say, Cindy interrupted hastily.

I looked at her and saw how upset she was at the

injustice. I nodded and said, "You’re right, I am cruel, but not cruel enough, I reckon. I shouldn't have come here. I should be at home, praying for you star-crossed lovers to make your journey to heaven together."

"Shut up, you evil woman! Do you even have a conscience? It’s a waste that Theo is so good to you.” Zedd could not bear to hear me curse at Cindy, so he stepped up to reprimand me.
