---- Chapter 2 The funeral home was less than a three-hour drive from the village. But Chloe and I waited for a full six hours. Joel and Michael never showed up. After the funeral, Chloe was devastated. She cried every day till her eyes were constantly red and swollen. I wasn't doing much better. Night after night, I woke up from nightmares, and even sleeping pills couldn't bring me any peace. Meanwhile, Rachel was posting nonstop on Instagram. In one video, Joel and Michael were shirtless, lounging by the window, and smiling at her. Rachel sat nearby, blushing. She bit her lip as she sketched their bodies onto a large sheet of paper. The camera didn't capture anything below the waist, but judging by her drawing, there was nothing on them. The caption read, "I've seen that perfect body one too ---- many times that I'm starting to get bored. I'm not ina rush to finish this sketch, but they're so invested in my life, they won't even waste time on phone calls." Not long after I scrolled past that, Rachel went live. Joel was washing her underwear on the live stream while Michael massaged her lower belly. She let out soft hums while her cheeks flushed with just the right shade of pink. The comments were flooding in. "Damn, this girl's living good. Let me take her place for a couple of days!" "Both the older and younger brother are into her, huh? Rachel, which one do you want?" "She's an adult. Obviously, she wants both!"" Rachel bit her lip and glanced at the two of them. "I'm so useless. It's just my period, and I still need you two to take care of me." Joel smiled and patted her on the head. "What nonsense. You'l] always be our little princess." ---- Michael nodded earnestly. "Exactly." When Chloe saw the live stream, she completely broke down. I grabbed her hand. "Don't cry! They're the ones who should be ashamed. If anyone should be crying, it's them, not us." I couldn't stomach this farce of a marriage for another second. I grabbed the divorce papers, took Chloe with me, and drove straight to the village to confront Joel and Michael. As it was winter, we were bundled up in thick coats. They didn't even notice we weren't pregnant anymore. "T told you I'd be back in time for the birth. Why did you come all the way here? Anna, Rachel's finally getting better. Don't stir things up, alright? Go home. I've got to make her lunch. I'm not seeing you out." Joel shot me a resigned glance before he turned and ---- started heading back inside. Iran up and grabbed his arm. "Oh, so you do remember I was about to give birth? You didn't show up when I was in danger and even skipped our son's funeral. "And now I'm standing here, yet you still prioritize making lunch for your mistress over our lives?" Joel's expression hardened. "What mistress? Don't be ridiculous. There's nothing between me and Rachel. "Don't ruin her name. If you keep throwing around baseless accusations, we're done here." He heard nothing except the word "mistress". That was all it took for my heart to go ice-cold. I shoved the divorce papers into his chest. "All you can think about is Rachel, huh? Go be with her then. I'm done. I want a divorce!" Joel's frown deepened. "Anna, I've always been a good husband. You really want to throw everything away over some wild assumptions?"
