His Personal Fucktoy? This Doll Just Snatched His Strings... And His World Is Unraveling novel Chapter 95

On Christmas Day, than bought some red wine and took me to a couple themed hotel, where we checked Into a rather romantic room. We had a drink together and as we became slightly tipsy, Ethan asked me again. He’d already been unemployed for a month. He wanted to know if the house back in my hometown was ready. I kept my answer vague, making up an excuse to tell him to go take a shower first. I then stood on the hotel balcony and made a phone call, speaking in a one that was neither too loud nor too soft. Through the glass, I could clearly see Ethan, who was supposed to be taking a shower, listening intently from not fa

Pretending not to notice. I raised my voice slightly.

I said. “Dad, is everything ready on your end? Ethan is asking me every day.”

My dad replied. “What’s the rush? I’m more anxious than you! Since the bankruptcy, why is everyone in the family pressuring me? Finding a house takes time How could you end up with such a poor guy? He scraped together five thousand USD, and now it’s gone in just a few days.”

I said. “What?! You’ve already spent the five thousand?! What if he finds out and wants it back later? If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let him quit his job! Now he has no income, what are we going to do in the future?”

My dad responded. “If he didn’t quit, where would you two live locally? You sold your place. Don’t worry. When he gave you that five thousand, I had him write a guarantee saying it was a gift. In the future, let him come here and look for a job. After all, you two are married now, and our family is his family. His parents won’t just leave you two to fend for yourselves. If it really comes to it, let his parents sell their house, and his siblings can help you out…”

I sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll think of something else. I’ll talk to you later.” I hung up the phone and turned around, only to see Ethan standing there, his face pale with anger, his lips trembling.

“Marina Miller,” he said through clenched teeth, “I can’t believe it. I never imagined that you’re the number one liar in the world. No wonder you got back together with me so easily. No wonder your dad was so quick to take the money. You’ve been holding a grudge all along, just waiting to ruin me, haven’t you?!”

“Ethan, listen to me, I didn’t mean to hide this from you.” I looked at him with a feigned expression of distress. “Ethan, didn’t you say you love me the most? Didn’t you say that no matter what I become, you would still want me? Didn’t you say that as long as we’re together, everything will work out?”

“What a dream you’re living in, you cheap woman,” Ethan sneered, his lips twitching. “You really think you’re the heroine of some romantic drama? The only reason I got close to you was because I saw your family’s background, and because you’re so stupid and easy to fool! I married you to make a social leap! And now that I can’t move up, you want to drag me down with you?”

“Ethan, how could you be like this? Was everything you did before just to deceive me?” I stood on the balcony, helplessly staring at Ethan.

I’ve always been like this! Only someone as dumb as you would believe me!” Ethan shouted. “When I rented a house and a car, it was all to deceive you! It was all to get your family’s money! Now your family has nothing! Don’t expect me to clean up your mess!”

With that, Ethan spat out bitterly, “Divorce! Right now, divorce!”
