DOUBTS 2

" At least your story is believable."

"You don't believe me." My eyes searched his, hoping that there was a part of him that believed me. Sadly, there wasn't.

"I don't trust anyone, darling." He said as he laid beside me. Covering both of us with the duvet, he rested his head on his elbow with a pillow between him and the bed. His eyes looked at me and with all sincerity, he said. "If I did, I would be dead. I can't count the number of times my step sister has tried to trick me."

" I'm not Matilda, Rowan. As much as I didn't consent to this marriage, I am not a cheat. I would never do that to anyone." I wish he knew how much I meant every word I said.

" How am I supposed to believe that. Your boyfriend is lying unconscious in my home. Guess where I found him." He playfully said but I didn't miss the hurt in his voice. Though he always wore a mask of indifference, i could tell that he was angry with me.
