I was trapped in the villa without water and electricity for three days. The bodies of my parents-in-law were lying cold in the hospital morgue. It was not until hunger and darkness pushed me to despair that the villa finally saw the light again. My husband Aaron 's voice came from the surveillance camera above my head, with blame and confusion: " Christine , are you crazy? If I hadn't found Grace crying secretly, I wouldn't have known that you left her such a weird message. What's the meaning of 'a hundred years of happiness'? Do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"
" So you asked me to transfer one million out of jealousy and envy. I tell you, Grace's income is the reward for her hard work!" His words were full of harshness, and the bitterness in my heart spread like a tide. It turned out that in his heart, I was so unbearable.
Facing my silence, Aaron's tone became sharper: "How can you, a pampered rich lady, understand the pain of her hard work being misunderstood? Apologize to her immediately, otherwise don't even think about letting me go home!"
From falling in love to getting married, Aaron always threatened to go cold, avoid or not come home, and I compromised repeatedly because of love. Until he said, "Those are your parents, not my relatives"... My mind was clear in an instant, as if I had walked out of a fog.
I stared at the dark camera, knowing that he was waiting for my surrender, but the word "divorce" was about to come out. At this time, my son's voice suddenly sounded, which made my heart tighten: "Why doesn't mom apologize?" It was my brother's voice. Aaron and I have a pair of twins, who are now six years old.
When I thought about the impact of divorce on my children, I began to hesitate. Then, my brother's voice came: " Aunt Grace makes money to take us to KFC, but Mom only spends Dad's money and makes Dad angry every day. I don't want to listen to Mom's bad voice!" Grace gently comforted them: "Don't say that, Mom will be sad." But the children responded in unison: "So what if they heard it? Dad said that Mom is lazy and can't do anything. She dare not do anything to us."
I couldn't hide my anger and disappointment, and my face suddenly darkened. Aaron on the other end of the monitor immediately accused: "You have a bad face all day long, no wonder the children are alienated from you!" The children also hurriedly echoed: "Dad, we don't want to see her! Turn it off! We hate her!"
My defenses collapsed in an instant. Before I could even get angry, Aaron hung up the call.
