“You little brat, messing with my husband? You
wanna die?”
Chloe came at Penny, fingers curled like claws.
My heart jumped in my chest. This little girl was
brave, but if she messed with Chad, things were
about to get ugly.
But as I prepared to intervene, Chloe was
dragged back by Chad.

Chad’s face was confused, but he held his
lower back, with a look of defeat in his eyes.
“Cousin, what are you doing here?”
His voice held a hint of sadness.
I could hear them clearly, he had called her his
cousin?
“Honey, what the hell? Who is this?” Chloe
asked.
Penny stepped in front of Chloe, looking at her
with complete disgust. She assessed her up and
down like she was something nasty.
“Dude, this is the ‘good wife‘ you were telling
me about?” she yelled at Chad, her voice filled
with anger.
Chad turned to Chloe. “Honey, this is my
Cousin my aunt’s daughter My aunt raised me
<
cousin, my aunt’s daughter. My aunt raised me
after my parents left. She’s family!”
I breathed a sigh of relief. She was here to save
- me.
Chad looked confused. “Cousin, weren’t you at
the show? How did you get here?”
Penny looked down at Chloe with anger, her
disgust palpable. “Yeah, and we were at the
same concert. Thank goodness, because
otherwise, you would not have known that she
is lying. She was framing your wife!”
She pulled me forward. “Come on, girl!”
Chad looked confused and said, “What the hell,
cousin? That b!tch made my wife miscarry!
You’re taking her side?”
Penny smacked his arm. “What? You don’t
believe me? Have I ever lied to you?”
Г
Chloe was trying to stay calm. “Honey, she’s lying! You have to believe me!”
Chad looked at her with a frown. “My cousin
always had my back, and she’d never lie to me. What’s going on, here?”
He looked back and forth between Chloe and
Sam, his eyes narrowed.
“You guys did this yourselves to pin it on Sarah? So you can be free of me?” He asked, full of suspicion.
Chloe’s face turned white. Sam looked worried.
“No! Not at all, she’s lying. But it was Sarah
who did it! You can ask her!” Chloe said
desperately.
“Ask me what?” I replied, my disgust of Chloe
growing by the minute.
“Sarah, weren’t you going to switch tickets with
me and refused to?” Chloe asked, eyes
pleading.
“Well…”
Chloe cut me off. “Honey, you heard it! If she
had switched, I wouldn’t have been pushed
around, and I wouldn’t have miscarried!” Chloe
sobbed.
Chad’s face darkened as he looked at me.
Sam saw the tide turn and chimed in. “That’s
right. I bought you the SVIP tickets, and you
couldn’t switch with her. She was pregnant.
How do you justify it? You might not have
caused this directly, but you’re responsible!”
Chad was clearly riled up now. He glared at me.
“Sarah, is that true? What do you have to say
for yourself?”
“Chad, I have nothing to say!” I said with a
straight face.
“You hear that, honey? She’s admitting it! This
is the one that killed our baby!” Chloe cried,
pushing him.
Chad charged at me, grabbed my neck, lifted
me in the air, and bellowed, “B!tch, I will kill
you!”
Penny was immediately in his face.
Penny shoved Chad, causing him to take a step
back, his arm still raised.
“Jerk! Put her down!”
