The Love that Never Really Dies

“How could you do this to me? I’m your wife, Sebastian! Don’t you think you went too far? You did all that just to test me? Don’t you think you’re too cruel?”

“How is that cruel? I did that in order to maintain the strength and purity of our relationship. You know me; I won’t touch anything that is contaminated by others,” he said again.

His tone was very matter-of-fact. There was no hint of anger in his voice, but his composure at that moment was disheartening to Sasha, who wished he had lost his temper at her.

“Fine. So, what now? Did you get what you wanted?”

Sebastian did not answer her question.

His silence was equivalent to an affirmative answer.

Sasha smiled wryly at the irony of the situation. A corner of her lip tilted into a half smile. “It’s no simple task to convince you of my innocence, Mr. Hayes.”

Sebastian raised his eyebrows at her.

However, he said nothing as he merely opened up his laptop again and resumed his work.

His dismissiveness felt like a knife that drove deep into Sasha’s chest. She could not stand to be in his presence any longer. She squeezed her eyes shut to hold in her tears and whirled around to leave.

This was the first time she wanted to be as far away from him as possible.
