[Matilda]
"Kaden, why aren't you saying anything? What is she doing here and whose bags are those?" My voice wavered, my heart clenching painfully as I searched his face for answers. Kaden looked up at me, scoffing, shaking his head like I was nothing more than a joke
"And who are you to ask me questions in my house, Matilda?"
"Your wife, of course," I shot back, my voice trembling with defiance
Kaden scoffed, tilting his head as his gaze shifted to the maids who were taking the bags upstairs
Their movement didn't distract me from the mocking laughter ringing behind me, the two uninvited women in my house, basking in their audacity as if my house were some stage for their entertainment
Kaden signaled the maids to take the last luggage that he had in his hands that I hadn't even noticed earlier before he turned towards me, his silver orbs staring right into mine
"Does that give you the right to ask stupid questions here? Do you even know how much a house costs, and how dare you question my guests about what they are doing in my home?"
My heart sank, the weight of his words crushing me as they left his lips. Of course, Kaden wouldn't miss the opportunity to remind me of my place in his life. Just a golddigger who schemed her way into his world like he always accuses me of
"Kaden, I..." My words trailed off as the voice of that thing echoed behind me.
"Kay!" Cherry called out. My fist clenched at my sides as I stood frozen in place, lowering my head, as shame coursed all over me. They had likely heard everything with how loud Kaden's voice was
"I think my stomach is acting up, I need to use the restroom, where did they take my bags, I need something from it!" Cherry voiced out, ignoring my presence as she walked closer to my husband. Kaden immediately snaked his hand around her waist, drawing her closer.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Kaden asked, his eyes softening as he stared at Cherry
"Kay, you worry too much, our baby is fine, I just need to use the restroom!"
Something snapped inside of me as that word left Cherry's lips. Our baby? My brow furrowed, my heart pounding so hard, it felt like it would break through my ribcage. What baby is she talking about?
"Ask the maid over there to show you to the master's bedroom, that is where you will be staying!" Kaleb said softly to her, making my insides churn violently
"What are you talking about? Which master's bedroom? What do you mean by that's where she will be staying? That's our room, Kaden! And why is your mistress in our home?" My heart skipped a bit as those words tumbled from my lips. I stood frozen, watching as a smirk danced across Cherry's face. She took her time scanning me from head to toe before turning to Kaden, and placing a soft kiss on his lips.
"I will do exactly that, baby!" Cherry chirped, about to take a step away from us. Anger surged through me immediately and I stormed forward, my hand reaching for hers but before I could grab it, Kaden's hand shot out, gripping mine with a force that instantly held me back
"Fucking let me go, Kaden. What is all this? Why are you sending her to our room? Why are you disrespecting me like this, Kaden? We agreed that..." My words faltered as tears began streaming down my cheeks. I lifted my head locking my eyes with Cherry who smirked at me before turning and heading out
