Chapter 16. A Lie

“Surely the mouth could easily lie. The eyes could be deceived. But every moment that touched one’s heart, it would be hard to fake.”

Kendra’s POV

The tension between us grew higher.

With her continuous bickering, I felt my head spinning. I was somehow nauseated from seeing her, hearing her, and being near her.

Her words echoed and ran wild inside my mind. She affected me, my mental state, and my emotions heightened because of her.

Despite my effort to deny everything she said, it somehow, at some point made sense.

But how? How could I accept the fact that my marriage was nothing but a lie?

Having a loveless marriage is already hard to deal with. What more of a marriage that is all based on compulsion and retribution?

My stomach began to hurt. My little peanut is probably sensing something’s wrong with me. But I must protect my baby at all costs. I found a wall near her where I could lean and surrender all my weight.
