"I've been looking forward to today, honey," Dylan replied.
"Don't you ever get it from Gisella?" asked Alexa.
"She's boring, her body isn't as beautiful as yours," replied Dylan.
I gripped my clothes tightly, my mind wondering what they were doing inside.
I climbed onto the chair, my hands shaking as I held my cell phone. I recorded everything from the small vent above the door.
My world had collapsed watching their warm warfare.
"What an asshole! I'm going to destroy us, Dylan!" I muttered.
When I was done, I backed away. Then he walked away.
In my room, I cried my eyes out. I had lost everything.
However, before my grief could subside, the door opened roughly. My mother-in-law stood there, her face full of anger.
"Bitch, so it turns out you're really barren?" My mother-in-law sneered.
I looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
She threw a scrap of paper in my face. I picked it up with trembling hands.
"Patient diagnosed with permanent sterility." My body stiffened as I read it.
I looked up. "It's not mine!"
But my mother-in-law had already grabbed my hair. "Don't lie! In this house only you check your uterus!"
I winced in pain with every pull of my mother-in-law on my hair.
"I'm telling the truth, ma'am, that paper is not mine. And what's the proof that it's mine? Does it have my name on it?" I replied, trying to fight back.
But a hard slap landed on my cheek.
"Son-in-law doesn't know himself. I'm going to tell Dylan that you lied to him!" Said my mother-in-law.
Suddenly, I was surprised when my mother tied my wrists with rope.
"Mom, what are you doing?" my voice trembled.
She dragged me out of the room like an animal. I struggled and cried.
"Mom, please let me go!"
But I knew that no one would help me.
My mother-in-law finally stopped pulling me. My body already felt weak, and my face had probably turned pale.
"Hurry up and tell my son the truth about your womb!" My mother-in-law demanded, pressing het against my mouth.
"I Won't! That piece of paper isn't mine!" I protested.
"Mom, what's going on? Why are you dragging Gisella like this?" asked Dylan, looking confused.
My mother-in-law gave the torn paper to my husband. Dylan's surprised face scared me.
"You fool! So you've been barren all this time? You lied to m!" Dylan spat, slapping my right cheek.
