This would be the first tthat | would be seeing Kayden face-to-face like this since our divorce
three months ago, and the fact that those were his first words toafter not seeingin a long

But it suddenly occurred tothat showing my anger was only going to makelook even more
pathetic, so | made up my mind that | was going to pretend to be cool.
| moved closer to the car and glared at him mildly. “What the hell are you talking about, Kayden?” |
hissed at him, and he chuckled.
He relaxed his back on his seat, almost as if he wantedto get a glimpse of the inside of his car,
and to my surprise, Marlene was sitting there with a big mocking smile on her face.
She was rubbing her belly with one hand while the other hand was intertwined with Kayden'’s free hand
My heart raced violently and my legs shook, but | maintained an unreadable expression as | stared
back at them.
“Hold on, you two. Did you decide to stopjust so you could showhow far along you are and how

happy I'm presuming you both are with each other?” | asked, wondering what exactly prompted them

“Aren’t you guys supposed to be on your honeymoon or something?” | asked.
“Oh, con, Amber. Can you not hear how ridiculous you sound right now? Why can’t you just thin
that we stopped to acknowledge you simply because we wanted to say hello? | mean, you're still my big sister
on paper, Marlene responded, and | had the strong urge to throw a shoe at her face for
sounding so dumb.
“You see...” | started. “I get that you're happy and all, and | know sometimes overly happy people
turn to lose their senses, but how about you doa favor and quit with the hypocrisy? You have no business
saying hello to me, so next tyou happen to pass by and you see me, do yourself a favor
and don’t stop to say hello,” | warned.

“Listen, sis, | understand that you're probably still bitter about the fact that you're unmarried and alone, but do
yourself a favor and try not to take it out on me. My husband and | only wanted to say hello to you as the good
people that we are, so appreciate the fact that we even took the tto speak to you instead of being so rude to
us,” she responded, and | almost could not believe my ears.
“You must be so proud of yourself for fucking your sister's husband and getting pregnant for him. while he was
still married, Marlene. | mean, if we're being completely honest, this has to be the biggest achievement of your
life. It’s not like you've ever done anything noteworthy, so | understand why you're so eager to show off a man
you successfully got as your first win,” | responded, not wanting her to have the last word because it would hurt
my pride if she did.
“What rubbish are you spouting, you bitch? Have you finally gone mad? | heard you were seeing therapist, so I'm
guessing you're not very normal in the head right now,” Marlene retorted, and | had to clench my fists to avoid
the thoughts that cto mind.
“It does seem like she’s not doing well, dear. She doesn’t even look like a normal person at home. | mean, look at
her, she looks like sstray animal,” Kayden replied, and they both shook their heads as if they were pitying
me.
| knew that I should have just walked away and allowed them to continue to look like the idiots that they were,
but my pride just wasn’t letting me.
It sounds tolike if | walked away from them, | would be indirectly telling them that they still had power over
so obvious.
Sighing. | responded. “I honestly don’t care if you guys want to feel good about yourself by callinginsane.
The sooner you realize that you don’t have that power overanymore, the better it's going to be for both of
you. Also, Marlene, letgive you this final advice as your big sister. You're about to beca mother, and |
highly doubt that you want your child to grow up and end up becoming as bitter and as envious as you are,” |
started.

“If you don’t want to end up raising a child that would turn out like you and go about seducing people s
husbands or wives, then I'll advise you to stop acting like Kayden is the best thing you could ever have. Have
sself-worth and stop being such an embarrassment. Have a good evening.” | added, ar not wanting to hear
any other nonsense that they had to say, | walked away.
But of course, Marlene wasn’t going to just let it go. She went as far as stepping out of the car and yelling out my

dare to callthe crazy one when you're the one acting crazy!”
Marlene scoffed. “I've always known that you thought you were better thanall these years. But
guess what, you bitch? You have never been better than me, and you will never be. The only thing yo
are is a sorry excuse of a human being, and | feel really bad for you because you and | both know
that nobody really cares about you. Anybody that comes close to you would immediately know that
you're a sad good for nothing, and you'll always be that till the day you die,” she retorted, and |
froze.
As much as | didn’t want to admit it, her words hit a nerve, and | couldn’t deny that she had a point.
about nobody really caring about me. But her words only fueled my desire to destroy her.
“Thank you for the kind words, Marlene. But you know what? Don’t ever sleep with both eyes close
dear sister. You better have an eye open, because I'm coming for you, and | swear, Marlene, | will
not rest until | make sure you know what it feels like to be me.”
