My Husband's Secret Affairs With My Step Sister novel Chapter 1

Thump!

Amelia felt her heart slammed against her ribcage when she heard his heartbreaking words.

"What? Surprised? Are you surprised that I know your carefully guided secrets? Huh" He said, sarcastically.

She widened her eyes and gasped for breath. She felt her throat tightened. Hot tears streamed down her eyes.

"Ethan you know............"

'Don't you dare call me that! The Only people who are permitted to call me that, are people who are close to me. And are worthy."

She felt needles prick her heart, to an extent it began to bleed. Weren't they husband and wife? How come they are no longer close to each? Unworthy? Is it what he has always felt about her? That she was unworthy of him?

She swallowed and sniffed. " Ethan, i mean Ethan Dan Greg, you know the truth yourself. You know i never did any of such things you are accusing me of"

"What truth are you talking about? What truth do i know Amelia, what truth you bloody liar" He said, raising his more higher than ever.

She was startled into a daze. This was the first time he had raised his voice on her since they were married. He has always spoke to her with a gentle voice. Though he has been acting strange lately, it hasn't gotten to the point where he raises his voice when talking to her.

" Ethan, you know it yourself. I was a virgin" She still tried to retort.

" Virgin? That's a joke. What made you think you would be able to lie to me? You were no virgin. You did surgery to deceive me, you liar"

"Enough !"

Both of them swiftly turned towards the person who shouted.

"Ethan Dan Greg, she is your wife. You shouldn't humiliate her like this. Is this what i have taught you"

" Father, you were one of the people who made me marry this sl*t. And right now i am tired of this marriage"

" Watch your tongue, Ethan!" A voice thundered, causing everyone to keep quiet for a minute.

“Grandfather! Please calm down, it's not good for your health" A woman, rushed to his side when she saw him breathing heavily after shouting.

She turned to him and said, " Ethan, you should be careful what you say"

" I don't care!"

This shocked everyone. What happened to their loving and fillial son, grandson, brother, cousin and husband? He was now like a stranger to them.

" Amelia Pearls, i have had it up to my neck. I am tired of you and i can no longer continue with this marriage" He declared with a cold tone, a bit more calmly.

"What do you mean, Ethan?"

" Ethan, i said watched your tongue!"

"Brother, you can't say that to sister-in-law"

" Don't take rash decisions"

Different voices were reprimanding him for his words.

"It is a decision I have thought through and made up my mind on"

"What do you mean, Ethan" Though, she knew what he meant but she could not bring herself to believe it. She wanted him to say that wasn't what he meant.

But her hopes were shattered.

"I want a divorce" He declared, expressionlessly with a cold voice. It was as if they were talking about what he wants to eat.

"No, you can't be serious, Ethan. Tell me you are joking" She said, anxiously. And then began to laugh as if it was really a joke.

Everyone else was shocked when he said what they've been thinking he meant.

" You brat! No one divorces anyone in my family. This marriage is for better for worse" Mr. Robert Greg, his Grandfather shouted at him.

" Ethan, he is right. You are not allowed to divorce her" His father supported.

" You both have been making decisions for me all my life. Now it's time to take my life decisions into my own hands. I am divorcing her and that is final" He declared firmly, without giving any opportunities for negotiation.

This was more shocking to everyone. Has he eaten something bad? Or was he under some kind of spell?

"Ethan, please don't do this. I promise I'll give you a child. No please don't do this" she pleaded when she saw his seriousness.

She moved close to him and wanted to touch him but he avoid her hand like she had some kind of disease, he would contact if she touched him.

He looked at everyone present and turned to walk out. Seeing him walking away, she rushed to follow him.

She abruptly knelt down on the floor in front of him with her two hands clasped in front of her. Her eyes were red from crying. A mark was left by her tears which had dried up, yet fresh hot tears rolled down her cheeks again.

"Please, don't take rash decisions. I'll get a child for you by any cost but please don't divorce me" She pleaded.

He looked at her indifferently and shifted to the right to walk away. She quickly followed him, pleading with him.

Everyone in the room was yet to recover from the shock. He seemed like they didn't know him anymore. The grandfather and father were even more shocked. He has always been an obedient grandson and son. The character he displayed was new to them.

Everyone felt sorry for her except for one person. The person squinted it eyes sinisterly and smirked devilishly. This son was beginning to have some sense now.
