"When your company was just getting off the ground, I was the one they poured drinks into at those business dinners. I ended up with alcohol poisoning."
"When your rivals kidnapped you and threw you into the ocean, I traded myself to get you back. I nearly died."
"And then, two years ago, the first time I caught you with Tracey Harding."
I locked onto his eyes and did not look away.
"I had just found out I was pregnant. But you were so afraid it would upset her that you forced me to abort. And after that, I could barely conceive again."
Thomas couldn't meet my eyes.
I let out a bitter laugh, the taste of it like ash.
"If I'd known it would come to this, I never should have remarried you."
He finally lowered his head.
"I... You're right. I owe you for all of that."
I closed my eyes.
"You've owed me for years, Thomas. Every single one of them."
"And you owe our daughter just as much."
"Since the day she was born, you never once cared about her. Not when she was sick. Not when she cried."
"But that bastard child of yours? Him you dote on."
Thomas said nothing.
I scoffed and turned to look at the two children.
