Chapter 6 I burst out laughing. His terrified voice felt satisfying. "You're with Clarisse, right?" I said. "Don't waste the venue. Use it for your engagement party. We're getting divorced, so no need to hide. Don't let people laugh at you for being spineless." His breathing grew heavy. He started begging, "Honey, don't joke. Clarisse is just my secretary. You're my wife. I won't divorce you. Come back, please. It's your birthday. I'll throw you the best party. Anything you want, I'll do it." I laughed so hard I teared up, wiping my eyes. In the background, I heard Clarisse's jealous huff. She probably thought that without me, she'd slide into Mrs. Carey's role. She would have done it three years ago if she could have. "No thanks," I sneered. "Focus on your little secretary. Don't waste your three years of double gifts, your daily excuses to see her, and your effort to track down those diamonds. You're something." He choked on my words, stammering, "You know everything." "If you don't want people to know, don't do it. You get that, right?" I said, hanging up.

No more sneaking around." But he lost it, grabbing her chin. His eyes were bloodshot as he growled, "Did you tell her about us? I told you to delete that post. How does she know so much?" Clarisse tilted her head back, her jaw nearly dislocated. She grimaced, "No, I didn't do anything." He didn't buy it because no one else knew their secrets. Furious, he slapped her hard. "You're lying!" He didn't know why he was so angry, but the thought of losing me forever set his heart ablaze with fear. What started as a business marriage had grown heavier in his heart over time. "You sent the cake with our names to Iva and ordered shrimp tacos with garlic on purpose, knowing she's allergic to garlic. I didn't know you were this scheming!" he snapped. Clarisse crumpled to the ground, blood seeping from her mouth. "It wasn't me. You gotta believe me. I was clear with the bakery. Even the tacos were separate. I don't know how it went wrong." 1/2 Antonio calmed down, knowing she wouldn't defy him Everything she had came from him. He could take them back anytime.
