Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 19

Not only was my body hurting, but my heart was aching too. When I first got married, I thought I was the luckiest woman in the world. On my wedding night, Lyle hugged me and told me he would make me happy for the rest of my life.

But this was what we had become after only two years of marriage. In fact, it didn’t take two years. He started to cheat one year ago, yet he had the audacity to hit me while I was lying in the hospital bed covered in blood.

Tears began rolling down my cheeks. I poured out my grievances and dissatisfaction, but Lyle was not willing to let me off. He held me by my throat as his face contorted in anger. By then, the hospital bedsheet was soaked with blood.

“So you really had an affair with Christopher! I’m going to kill you, Yvonne.”

That’s men. They don’t allow their women to be close to the opposite sex even when they themselves have cheated and committed adultery.

My vision began to blur as air rushed out of my lungs, and my firm grip on Lyle’s hand loosened. I gazed up at his handsome face, but somehow, it looked malicious and repulsive to me.

We had been friends since childhood before we became romantically involved. At that time, I was very fond of Lyle and loved to look at him because his smile was as bright as the sun. Just seeing his heartwarming smile made me feel better whenever I was upset.

But now, his face seemed strangely unfamiliar. With my last ounce of strength, I struggled to ask, “Lyle, we’ve been married for two years. Have you ever loved me?”

“No. And I never will!” Lyle answered without hesitation.

I smiled bitterly. So what we had in the past few years was all a joke, and it was a mockery of my ignorance. Because of that, I was consumed by the desire to have my revenge. I figured whatever happened between Christopher and me would serve as that, so I began to indulge in the thoughts of my “sweet” revenge.
