When he snapped out of it , Eric turned to me in shock . " Honey , what are you doing ? Rachel's your best friend - how can you just let her walk into disaster ? " " You know David's temper . If he catches her in bed with someone , she's finished - don't you ... " I cut him off , voice icy : " You seem awfully concerned about Rachel . " His expression turned awkward . " I'm not worried about her . I just think - you two are so close . Sure , what she did was wrong , but we can't just stand by and watch her crash and burn , right ? " He was frantic - whether for Rachel , or because he feared David would take his anger out on us and cut ties with him , I didn't know . I sneered inwardly . " If you want to help her , you'd better go now . You heard where she is - Holiday Inn , not far from here . Don't go to the wrong place ." Seeing I was determined not to intervene , Eric sighed helplessly and rushed out the door. I finished packing , then waited quietly at home . Around seven , the front door was kicked open violently . David stormed in with a dozen thugs . Behind them trailed Rachel , weeping , and Eric , his face dark . David's eyes blazed with fury . He strode over and slapped me across the face . " You filthy bitch! " he roared . " How dare you set up my wife ! I'm going to kill you today . " He knocked me to the floor , then kicked me several times .

I treated you like at sister , always cared for you , and you - jealous of my husband - you drugged my drink , had me humiliated , and even recorded it ! Do you even have a conscience ? " " If it weren't for my husband trusting me , I'd never wash away the shame ! " " Our friendship ends here . From now on , we're nothing ." Eric rushed over then , kicking me too , glaring at me in fury . " Grace , I never imagined you'd be this kind of person ! You fooled me so well . If I had known what a vicious woman you were , I'd never have married you . I want a divorce - you don't deserve to be my wife ! " I stared at their hypocrisy through the pain , grinding my teeth . " I'm innocent ! " I shouted . David slapped me again , yanking me up by the hair . " Innocent ? " he snarled . " Your husband and your best friend are both accusing you . Do you really think anyone will believe you ? Still playing tough ? You're just a worthless bitch . " " Killing you outright would be too easy . I'll destroy your name , make you the rat everyone spits on ." 6:49 Mon , Sep 15 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
