Chapter 4
Alex‘ s hand was still raised in the air when he looked at my broken irises that stared at him in a painful shock, a gut- wrenching sob escaped my lips as blood trickled down from the corner of my
mouth.
“A–Are you alright? Emily-”
Alex touched my face only for me to scurry away from him in fright, quickly getting up shakily to move away from him,afraid that he would harm the children in my womb. Even now his touch felt like acid carving my skin painfully.
“Sister, please forgive me, it is all my fault, Alex quickly apologize to Emily.” Alex was frozen in his place when he saw my fearful. eyes looking at him like a stranger.
“Emily, listen to me, if you apologise to Jessica I will forget this incident and we can act like nothing happened at all.”

The humiliation was horrifying as the hot tears trailing my eyes presented a blurry image of my husband that was soon going to father two children looking at me with a guilty expression.
Jessica innocently sobbed with her palms covering her mouth. “Oh my god, I..It was never my intention to create a rift between you…I cannot believe I caused harm to my sister.”
Annoyed by Alex trying to appease me, my adopted sister got up before wobbling out of the room in a hurry like she was the person who was bullied but was kind till the end.
“Jessica, wait!” Alex looked at me unsure.
“Emily, go home and apply some medicine. You have disappointed me alot so don‘ t expect me to come back tonight.” Like a master commanding his slave Alex left me behind as he went searching for Jessica without looking back
even once.

Three years of love and my pure sacrifice was thrown away in a moment of anger as Alex ruthlessly disregarded me for my sister.
Even after so much had happened on Alex‘ s birthday party, I once believed that even when I had a hellish life, at least my children would have their father‘ s love
but at this moment I realised that neither
me nor my twins had a place here.
I soon walked outside the luxurious mansion that I once called home, only to realise that I forgot my cell phone inside.
Dragging my feet despite the painful gash in my knee I stood outside Jessica‘ s bedroom going to knock yet the muffled voice resonating from within the bedroom
made me feel like a bucket of ice cold
water was poured over my head.
Lust filled moans and whimpers slipped. through the crack in the door. My entire body quivered as I covered my mouth in absolute shock when I saw two partially

naked bodies entangled on the bed.
“Oh Alex, you should take off your wedding ring…” in between their kisses Jessica complained in a dramatically sweet voice.
“No…to do what is forbidden makes it even hotter. If only Emily was half as sexy as you…” His hands clutched Jessica‘ s hand to stop her from taking off the ring before they continued to indulge in debauchery.
My husband not only slapped me for my sister but also used that opportunity to throw me out only to have sex with her. The shock was so profound that I stumbled backwards, my lips wobbling when I heard Alex‘ s words as he continued the
disgusting act with my adopted sister.
This was the man whom I once loved even more than my life. Three years ago when Alex was going through a life threatening situation I urged his grandfather to use me as they liked for making my boyfriend‘ s

health better no matter what.
Alex needed an organ donor who could donate him a kidney, at that time being blind in his love, I agreed to be operated upon and use my body for his well being. Later the doctors asked for a blood transfusion, and I readily agreed to them for taking my blood every month to help. Alex recover.
When Alex came back home, I considered that he was still sick and needed rest, thus I worked three shifts daily, often working without any sleep to give my boyfriend better facilities.
Three years of memories crashed down around me as I watched the man I loved
kiss another woman.
Even after giving up everything for Alex, all these years he just treated me like his maid. For Alex I was not even worth being
a substitute for Jessica.

my finger felt like it was a gash on my skin, bile rose my throat as I scratched my finger with nails making blood marks taint my skin in order to take my wedding ring off hurriedly.
I could never love this man anymore.
Today I will lessen his burden, I will go so far away that he will never find me anymore. Like a house of mirrors, my life came crashing down as I kept the ring on the flower table outside and ran away, my heels clicking against the hardwood floors.
This marriage was broken just like my heart.
