When I went to the restroom, Chloe finally snapped and cornered me.
Her bloodshot eyes showed just how furious she was.
"Victoria!" She glared at me, looking totally defeated.
"What gives you the right to treat me like this?" She was hysterical, her voice raw. "What makes you so special? If you came from nothing like me, you wouldn't be any better!"
Her ranting looked like a pathetic tantrum to me.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I was born into the elite. I have access to wealth you'll never even dream of. What are you gonna do about it?"
Then something occurred to me, and I laughed.
"Oh wait, there is one thing you've got on me."
As Chloe looked confused, I leaned close to her ear and whispered mockingly.
"When it comes to being ruthless, I'm not even close to your level. At least I wouldn't use my own kid as a stepping stone to some guy."
All the color drained from Chloe's face.
She was breathing hard, her chest heaving.
Seeing that, I lost all patience for games, my face going stone cold.
"You want Alexander? Go for it. But if you show your face around me again, I'll make you disappear quietly."
I turned and left.
Chloe finally seemed to breathe again, like a drowning person getting oxygen.
She gasped and collapsed on the floor, completely wrecked.
On the drive home, Alexander was dead quiet.
It wasn't until I got out that he finally gripped the steering wheel tight, looking defeated.
"Victoria... do we really have to get divorced?" He looked at me with barely concealed desperation. "I never cheated."
I watched a little sapling swaying in the breeze outside the window.
That carefree movement was everything I wanted.
I stared at it for a while before turning back to him seriously.
"Alexander, cheating isn't just about fucking with someone."
"You let her show up and provoke me, you snapped at me because of her, you missed our anniversary for her, you brought her to family events—that's crossing the line. Actually sleeping together was just a matter of time."
"And disappointment doesn't happen overnight. You gave me way too many reasons."
Alexander listened in silence, getting paler by the second.
He looked at me with red-rimmed eyes.
He wanted to argue, but his throat was too dry to speak.
"You knew exactly how inappropriate her behavior was. You were aware of it, but you didn't stop it. You let her provoke me."
I completely ignored his agonized expression, getting lost in my own sadness, before finally asking the question that had been torturing me most.
"You slept with her on our anniversary night, didn't you?"
Alexander's head jerked up in shock, then he squeezed his eyes shut, spiraling into a vortex of pain.
"That night really was just an accident..."
I cut him off, sounding almost relieved. "Doesn't matter anymore."
None of it mattered anymore.
The moment I opened the car door, Alexander's voice broke.
"Victoria, can we go back to how things were?"
I looked up at the stars.
"Don't talk about the past. I don't remember it, and I don't want to."
Alexander looked completely empty. Utterly lost.
"I understand. I'm sorry... Victoria."
Her bloodshot eyes showed just how furious she was.
"Victoria!" She glared at me, looking totally defeated.
"What gives you the right to treat me like this?" She was hysterical, her voice raw. "What makes you so special? If you came from nothing like me, you wouldn't be any better!"
