The image of him being happy and loving with my best friend felt like betrayal. It felt like he had launched a knife into my heart while I was struggling to breathe. 
How could he betray me this way? How could he betray me with my best friend? "
You said you loved me." I cried out and brushed the tears running down my face away. 
He stared at me, and the coldness in his eyes mirrored the one his mother always had for me. "That was my greatest mistake." I felt cold. 
Once Imela believed love was enough, now not anymore. Love was just another lie that the weak believed in to keep them from seeing the truth: that there was no place for people like them in this world.

The Betrayed Ex-wife's Revenge

　　It couldn't be a coincidence, could it? To have two of Ocean's classmates bear the same last names as the men we were running the cartel, whom we were trying to take down.

　　"You're not sleeping, are you?" Oliver asked, and he pulled himself up to sit down.

　　I had said good night to him even though I knew I wouldn't be getting any sleep. I knew the same thoughts had kept him awake, too.
