“Just stop!” he snarled, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me roughly.
“Leave me alone before I break your fucking fingers!” I snapped.
Gabriel looked startled as he stared at me, “What’s gotten into you, Faye? This is unlike you.”
I scoffed bitterly, “Unlike me? You enjoyed it when I listened to every fucking thing you said right? Now I’m fighting back suddenly I’m possessed!”
“Calm down so I can explain what’s happening,” Gabriel snapped.
I knew he was going to tell me another tale but unlike before this time I had no intention of entertaining it.
“Start talking then,” I shrugged.
Gabriel sighed, “I know you're upset which is why I didn't tell you about this. Lily is sick. She has cancer.”
He stared at me, waiting for a reaction but I kept a straight face. I couldn't care less.
“She has a few years to live and she dedicated her time to taking care of the twins,” Gabriel continued, “Now she has two years left and the kids begged me to make her their mom for those two years left so she can die happily.”
I burst into laughter when he was done talking. Gabriel stared at me like I had just lost his senses.
“Your lies have gotten better over the years, Gabriel,” I said.
“It’s not a lie, Faye. It’s just two years,” he said.
I scoffed, “Two years and you'd finally get married to me, right?”
Gabriel sighed, “Yes, once the two years are over we’ll get married. I've already made all the arrangements.”
I stared at Gabriel, “What do you want me to do now?”
Gabriel smiled and kissed my cheeks, “This is why I love you. You're always so understanding. I want you to take care of the twins while I take Lily for her chemotherapy outside the country.”
I nodded and gave him a bright smile, “Alright.”
He kissed my forehead, “I’ll send Lily to come here. You can both apologize and make up.”
Then he turned to me immediately, “Also, I’m sorry about what the kids did. I'll make sure they apologize to you.”
I nodded and watched as he left. The moment he left, I wiped my cheeks and forehead.
“You must think I’m so stupid, Gabriel,” I scoffed.
“But of course you are, Faye, else you'd know that I've been sleeping with Gabriel for the past three years and now I’m pregnant for him.”
I turned to stare at the smug face of Lily.
Faye’s Pov
I turned to stare at Lily who was smirking.
“What do you want?” I snarled.
I wasn't going to let the fact that she's just announced she's pregnant bother me.
