“I did wish her dead!” Donna burst out, her voice trembling with emotion. “Don’t think I don’t see what you’re up to. You think that as the elder brother, it’s right that you take care of your little brother’s wife and children now that he’s been blown up? You want to divorce me and then what? Slip into his shoes, playing house with her?”
Tomas fell silent.
And his silence was the last straw for Donna.
“So, this really is what you’re thinking.” Donna’s voice cracked, tears streaming down her cheeks, “I got it right. Haven’t you thought about how old your three children are? You still like her even now.”
In a fit of rage and disappointment, Donna grabbed the mug from the table, along with the fruit bowl, and hurled them at Tomas with all her might.
This was the first time anyone had seen Donna lose control like this.
“You’re heartless!” Donna looked at the man in front of her with desperate sorrow, and accused with intense indignation. “After all these years I’ve spent on you, in your heart, I’m still less than nothing compared to her!”
He could stand to see his own brother blown up, yet he can’t bear to part from his brother’s wife.
Suddenly, Donna felt that she had become a joke all these years.
Marrying this man seemed like the biggest mistake of her life!
“I hate you.” Donna’s voice was a whisper, choked with sobs, her body shaking. “Tomas, I hate you, you’re the coldest, most heartless man alive. You don’t deserve a single ounce of the love I’ve poured out for you. You don’t deserve it!“
Tomas watched his wife breaking down, a torrent of emotions flooding him, but didn’t know how to comfort her.
“Why can you be so cruel. Why can’t you see everything I’ve done.” Donna’s voice broke as she stumbled, nearly collapsing.
