NovelEnglish“Stop!” Debbie interrupted her.
“I’m a 22-year-old married woman, you’re 18 and single. Why would I think you know anything about men?
You’re just trying to get betweenand Carlos.”
Megan was young after all. Debbie could see what she was up to. She’d made it clear plenty of times that her motives were not pure when it cto Carlos.
The younger girl bit her Lip angrily and said, “Do you know why the tests cback positive? The pills had been ground up and put in your food. And the Hiltons did it. Almost every day. As long as Carlos was at hwith you in the evening, they made sure you took the pills the next day. He knew it, and said zilch to you. That has to suck.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvery word Megan had said was like a bomb. Debbie felt dizzy now, and the world, which had made sense just moments earlier, didn’t. ‘Carlos’ family slippedbirth control pills?’
That was too hard to take. For a moment she thought her ears were messing with her. Then she saw the smug look on Megan’s face. She took a few deep breaths to center herself. And finally visibly relaxed, the tension draining from her shoulders and back. She told herself not to fall into the girl’s trap.
“Who did it?”
“I’LL tell you, but you can’t tell Carlos.”
Debbie thought about it for a bit. She wondered what harm it would do.
“Deal,” she said.
With Debbie’s promise, Megan laughed weirdly.
“Your so-called parents-in-law.”
‘James and Tabitha.”
Debbie’s hands balled into fists. She clenched them so tightly that her nails started to dig into her palm.
She knew James hated her. Debbie could totally believe James was behind it. But Tabitha? She remembered the bracelets Tabitha had given her the first day they met. ‘She was always nice to me. She couldn’t do that.‘
“No way. That’s not Tabitha’s style. First you ruin my relationship with Carlos, and now my mother-in- law? You are such a bitch!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMegan put on an innocent smile and ignored her insult.
“Did you forget what she said about you the other night? I haven’t. She said you shattered the peace in that family. Afterwards, she toldshe wanted
Carlos to get a divorce and would helpbechis wife.”
Tabitha’s accusation from that night was still fresh in Debbie’s mind.
She hadn’t forgotten. It still stung, and it was part of the reason she considered moving out of that house. It had taken Carlos a long tto comfort her. She calmed down, but never forgot.
Debbie’s face reddened from the sad memory and the cruel news. Tears welled in her eyes, making the world indistinct. She grabbed Megan’s collar, and the younger girl screamed in fear. However, since this was the VVIP inpatient department, nurses and doctors were not allowed to wander around unless
absolutely necessary. It was the uber-private wing. So there were only the two of them in the hallway right now.
Debbie forced Megan against the wall, forearm against her throat.
“You’re just hell-bent on stealing Carlos away from me, aren’t you?”
