“Tell your sister to stop saying divorce like it means nothing. Marriage isn’t a game!
“And I already told you I’m in court handling Annie’s case. Why do you keep calling? You’re interrupting official proceedings. Can you take responsibility for that? You two are unbelievable!”
Lily was stunned. She tried to explain, but Leo had already hung up.
She held back her tears and took my hand, offering silent comfort. We looked at each other without saying a word, both seeing the same disappointment in each other’s eyes.
I had gone through hell, but Sam didn’t even care enough to listen.
Maybe this marriage was doomed from the start.
Sam and Leo never truly loved us. The only one they ever cared about was Annie.
Back when Annie left the country and abandoned the twin brothers, Lily and I stepped in. That was when they married us.
But now that Annie was back, everything had changed. They hovered around her constantly, did everything to make her comfortable.
Sam and Leo bought Annie a new house right next to ours. They even hired a personal caregiver to look after her.
Leo, a federal judge, personally handled her petty legal case, while Sam, one of the top surgeons in the city, started cooking healthy meals for her himself.
But they didn’t care about us. They even gave us the cold shoulder.
Lily and I held each other in silent tears, our hearts heavy with pain and regret.
“What’s the point of a marriage like this?” she asked through sobs, her tears falling hot onto the back of my hand.
Our marriages had been a cruel joke from the beginning.
And now, it was time to end it.
