"Elene!" he warned, "do not spout lies in public just because of your jealousy." his eyes full of malice and coldness with no warmth remained. He wanted to kill her and bury her then and there. How could she be such a fool?
A hollow laugh escaped her lips too. "Lies!'' The word felt like a slap on her face. Before he told her that he was protecting her image. What would the world know that she was a homewrecker? What if they knew that she had stolen her own sister's husband?
She had respected him, adored him for his care but now that her eyes are opened, she could see it was all his selfish desires.
He was protecting only himself not her. And she would never let that happen. She would never accept that he would flirt with other women while she waited for him as an obedient wife. She was not Evangeline.
Fury burnt his chest but it gave her courage, she never thought she had!
