“Are you ever going to love me?” I asked in a pained voice as he laid Morgana down. His muscles tightened, and for a while, he ignored my question, watching Morgana, his mistress, fall asleep while I,his wife, stood afar.
He shoved his hands into his pocket as he strolled towards me.
“Am I meant to answer that question?” He asked, his voice deep with anger.
“Yes” I nodded. I have to know my fate in this marriage.
“No, I am never going to love you. My heart belongs to Morgana alone. Spend your godforsaken two years with me and at its expiration I will take my shares and might decide to continue your mother’s treatment if I please, but till then no! “He shouted.
Fresh needle of pain as he spoke. I have done everything I can to make him fall for me, but all to no avail.
“Now go and clean Morgana's room. She is pregnant with my child and I would not want her stressing herself,” he ordered.
