Chapter 27 Married to Madness

The sound of something being smashed echoed from the bedroom.

Concerned for Serena's wellbeing, Daniel rushed inside.

Jasmine stood in the corner of the room, around her the shattered remnants of bowls and utensils.

"She did this on purpose-she wants to kill me; it was boiling hot!" Serena cried out, her eyes brimming with tears. "Daniel, she's trying to take my life."

Jasmine's gaze fell numbly to the ground, her hands hidden behind her. The scalding food had spilled across the back of her hands, leaving her skin seared and throbbing with pain.

"Jasmine, if you're playing games again, don't expect any sympathy from me." Daniel always took Serena's word over Jasmine's, his disdainful glare fixed on the latter while he consoled his love.

Jasmine was beyond caring; she was numb to their intimate gestures in front of her because all her love for him was gone.

She remembered vividly the heart-wrenching pain when, five years ago, this same man had sent her to jail.

Now, she felt nothing at all.

In fact, she even thought that Daniel truly belonged with Serena.

They were truly a match made in heaven.

Jasmine crouched on the floor, picking up the shattered debris while in her own world.
