Chapter 4
My dad even called him, “George, I already gave her a good talking to. When are you coming back? Let’s grah a meal, yeah? I’ll make sure she apologizes properly
My mom said, “Isabella, you’re not a kid anymore. Stop freaking out. Say you’re sorry, and don’t bri
Am I really freaking out?]]

Maybe it’s just that I’m not allowed to feel anything. The second I get angry, suddenly I’m “too much” or “out of line.”

Maybe that’s why when I asked why his shirt has unfamiliar lipstick on, he’ll sneer and say, “It’s just a mark. I didn’t sleep with her, and I don’t love her either. What? Is this tiny thing worth you bothering me? Forgot I am the one supporting this home?

I don’t even remember when that started.]]
All I know is, it doesn’t feel equal between us anymore. []
It’s been close to a month without George
That’s good, it’s peaceful without him.
But I’m kind of scared he’ll come back and just throw me out.
After all, this house is his
I heard from Vera that he is staying in the penthouse suite at the clubs, the one reserved for VIP clients.
And Hannah goes to his room to tidy up every single day.
This princess of the club has even taken on maid duties.
And George? He is clearly enjoying this. Every time he gets off work, Hannals has already prepared a full table of dishes.]
She also takes photos of his meals and posts them in the group chat, even on her Ins
And the funny, Fm still in that group
She’s provoking me.]
