Amelia:

My husband had to be fucking insane! I really couldn’t believe Dexter had just done that to me.

"Thank you, sir," I uttered as I handed the driver the cash I had received from a kind stranger earlier. Damn, I was going to teach that bastard a good lesson when I get him,

"Welcome back home Ms Denver." A maid greeted me, and I tightened my fingers into fists just hearing her call her that. I couldn’t shout at the young lady because I knew what it felt like to be bound by orders that you couldn’t go against,

All these was just to get me fucking paranoid,

"Lunch is ready." She uttered as I made to step in I nodded my head,

"Good. Thank you!" I responded and began to walk in. As I got to the dining, the food was indeed ready and all set up but Dexter wasn’t seated,

I forced out a smile and turned my head towards the maid,

"What about my husband?"

"I think he’s upstairs having his bath. He would be down in a few minutes ma’am."

My gaze averted to the food and I let out a smile,

"Alright. Could you please get me salt? I’d like to add a little to my food before I start eating." I told the maid and began walking towards the dining. She handed me the salt and walked away,

"Let’s see how you feel about this," I muttered to myself, and sprinkled more salt on the steak, the omelet, and his juice,

I began eating and about 10 minutes later, I heard Dexter’s voice from the stairs,

"Oh wow, you’re here wifey."

I hated the fact that he called me that, but right now, I couldn’t get mad. I had to control my anger. I didn’t utter a word to him and continued eating as I was almost done,

Dexter took his seat, and the first thing he did was open the glass of his juice and drink from it. He had taken so much quantity at once that I watched him spit out everything all in a hurry,

"What the hell is this?"

I couldn’t control my emotions so I bursted out into laughter when I saw the look on his face. It was indeed priceless,

"You did this?" He yelled at me and I instantly dropped my fork,

"Serves you damn right for leaving me behind, earlier," I yelled back at him and rose to my feet,

I watched him scoff, almost like he was going to pay me back in ten fold what I wasn’t expecting, but I couldn’t let the fear in my heart be evident,

"I know how much you need me to get what you want, Dexter, so if you want me to cooperate, then you would have to treat me with respect and stay out of my way, or else I’ll come clean to your family. What this is all about," I uttered and watched him widen his eyes,

"You wouldn’t dare!" He said coldly but I smirked,

"Watch me do that right now.

I took a step but heard his voice,

"Fine! I’ll stay out of your damn way." He said and began walking out of the house. As the door shut, I turned towards the stairs and began heading back to my room, extremely tired.
