I felt my blood run cold.
Who was on the other end of that call?
Then Ethan uttered a phrase that completely changed history.
“I can’t do it any longer.” Lilian begins to suspect.
The call ended.
I was about to call my lawyer when I heard a noise behind me.
I turned around.
Ethan was standing in the doorway of the bedroom.
He was staring at me.
—What are you doing awake, my little wife?
I didn’t know what to answer.
He took a step towards me.
Then another one.
And then he did something unexpected.
She sat down in front of me and began to cry.
—Lilian… you have to listen to me before you hate me.
I looked at him in silence.
—Were you the one who put those drops in my drink?
Ethan lowered his head.
-Yeah.
I felt like a part of me was breaking.
-Because?
He looked up.
—Because I needed you to look sick.
Those words were like a blow.
-So that?
Ethan took a deep breath.
—To protect you.
