SWNOVELS Chapter 65
I woke up early the next morning to the sound of voices in the living room.
Salena was holding Avery’s arm and directing the movers.
I snapped, “What are you doing?”
Avery looked at me coldly and said, “Sal is not well and needs a place to recuperate.”
The president of a listed company actually can’t afford to buy a villa for his mistress to recuperate, and he even wants to take over his wife’s matrimonial home, so he’s not afraid of being laughed at when he says it.
Salena held Avery’s hand and looked at me with a provocative face.
“Chris, I’ll trouble you to take care of me during this time.”
“This is my house, please move out of my house.’
My tone was unkind as Salena leaned against Avery, her head bowed in tears.
Avery frowned, dislike for me written all over his face.
Even if he didn’t say it, I knew what he was trying to convey.
It’s nothing but that I’m not as well-behaved and understanding as Salena.
I admit that I was a bit strong and always liked to stand by my word, because of which the two of us were been fighting a lot.
Avery always reprimanded me for not giving him face in front of outsiders and making him lose face.
Avery once said to me, “What man doesn’t need his pride? You only need to listen to me when you talk business outside, you know in your own heart what you are so anxious to show yourself for.”
My heart welled up a bitter, I should have seen this man clearly, it is my own obsession to fall into such an embarrassing situation today.
As my thoughts returned, Avery once again offered to let me give the wedding to Salena.
I sneered, “How about I let her have the identity of Mrs. Griffith too?”
“Sal, you go to your room first.”
Avery whispered to Salena.
When Salena left, he changed his demeanor abruptly.
Avery yanked me by my hair in a death grip and dragged me down the stairs to the floor with a murderous look in his eyes.
He grabbed me by the neck and said viciously, “You owe Sal enough, just one wedding and you’re not even willing to make it up to her.How can you be so heartless, woman?”
I was not willing to show weakness and glared at him in pain, “Avery, if people outside know that the chairman of a listed company is domestic violence his wife for the sake of a mistress, do you think you will still be able to keep your position as the chairman of the board?”
The strength of Avery’s grip on my neck became a bit heavier, he gritted his teeth and said, “Christine, do you know what? I’m most tired of seeing you acting superior, why are you better than me in every way when we grew up together?”
The words fell out of my mouth, and I froze for a moment.
In the past, I tried to be better just so I could be one step closer to him, I thought he liked his wife who fought alongside him, but I didn’t realize that he liked Salena who was like a doddering flower.
I snorted out a laugh, “Avery, I was the one who was blind all these years and mistook you as my Mr.right.”
“You will always be that lowly creature.”
My words completely pis**d him off and Avery lifted his foot and kicked me in the small of my back with such force and pain that I curled up on the ground raw.
Avery stomped on me, smugness flashing in his tone, “As good as you are, you’re still under my feet.”
“Christine, I’m telling you, you’ll just have to be an unrecognized Mrs. Griffith and forget about getting a divorce from me.”
He ignores my pained look and turns to go upstairs to Salena.
I don’t know how long I slowed down on the living room floor as a wave of heavenly pain swept through my body, and by the time I struggled to get up and go back to my room, I could hear Avery and Salena gasping sickeningly from inside the house.
I fought through the pain and made my way back to my own room, retrieving the long-deserted spare machine from the cupboard to record the injuries I’d sustained.
