Without any sleep, I waited until morning and knocked on the master bedroom door. Sean appeared, disheveled and shirtless.
Even with his messy hair, his strong brows and sharp features remained striking. "What's your problem now? Are you out to make trouble for me again? How did I end up marrying someone like you?" he said coldly.
I interrupted his words, "Sean, stop pretending." He sobered up, looking at me in bewilderment.
"I already know our marriage is fake. You really went all out to deceive me. Even the couple we registered with at the civil office, they were hired, weren't they?"
Sean, when did you change? Where was the man who once held a banner proclaiming 'I love Krystal' in the busiest area downtown?
The man who, when I had severe cramps at midnight, ran miles to find the only open pharmacy for painkillers?
The man who, when I faced bullying at work, swore he'd take care of me forever? Tears rolled down as I looked at this familiar face that no longer held the person I remembered.
I demanded, "So, Sean, what was the point of this fake marriage? Did you enjoy treating me like a fool?" Countless grievances welled up in my heart.
He crossed his arms coldly, watching my misery with casual indifference, a mocking glint in his eyes, "Yes, I did enjoy it. Since you've figured out the certificate is fake, I don't mind telling you that last night, Mischa already coaxed your mother into signing the property transfer documents."
"Krystal, you and your mother are truly alike. Mischa said your mother didn't suspect a thing, she signed without hesitation when asked, not even questioning it. You're both equally foolish." His words struck like a bolt from the blue.
My mother had always trusted Sean completely. Now, that trust had been twisted into sheer foolishness in his eyes.
I lunged at him in rage, clawing at that despicable face. But Sean easily restrained me, he heartlessly gripping my hair.
I gritted my teeth in pain, struggling to pry his hand off. Just then, Mischa stepped out of the room.
She raised an eyebrow and let out a sneer, "Oh, did she find out? I wasn't done having fun yet."
She pressed her body against Sean, coquettishly tugging on his arm and said, "Honey, kick her out. We didn't get to finish last night, let's continue."
