Chapitre 9: Chapter 9

Mr. President's Substitute Wife

Willow blinked back tears, stood up, and took a deep breath. "You can't do this to me. You are taking my life away with this. Sophia wanted him, he loves her so dearly, so why won't she come back? He is her husband, and you want me to keep up this act like a placeholder for her. Mother!" Willow yelled, unable to keep her voice at bay. Her body shook uncontrollably from the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her.

Jasmine raised her eyebrows, scowled, and stood up, a chuckle escaping her lips. "Did you just yell at me?" She asked, pointing her fingers towards herself.

Willow swallowed hard, a tear fell to her cheek. "Mother.." she whispered, caving into herself like a coward.

"Please, don't make me do this." She said again, images from the two nights before gripped her mind. She didn't want to go through it for a third time tonight. She was tired.
