Chapter 44

• Abby’s POV
• Jose doesn’t leave me alone. In fact, he just leans back on the sink and stares at me. “If you are not out of that tub in two minutes, then we will not go to the party.” I study his face and come to the conclusion that he isn’t kidding. I really want to get out of this house, so I rise to my feet. I dry off as quick as I can, before I exit the bathroom and go back to my room. Jose follows me to my bedroom and his eyes never leave my body the whole time I get ready. Just as I am putting on my boots, I hear the door bell ring. I glance over to my husband and ask him. “Are you expecting someone? It wouldn’t be the first time that you whore has come here.” I see Jose’s chest rise and fall like he is trying to keep his breathing in check. I just shrug my shoulders and continue with the task of putting on my shoes. My stomach is so big that it is very hard to bend over. I struggle for a couple more seconds before Jose treks over and drops down onto his knees in front of me and helps me.
• For a moment I am shocked and all I can do is just stare at him. ‘Why did he just come over here and help me? He has never done that before. Even during the times when we were getting along so well.’ Pushing the thoughts running around in my mind away, I quickly mummer a “thank you.” I stand up and put distance between the two of us. I know exactly how my husband works. He will make me believe that he cares and wants to be here with me, and I will fall for it every time. Then he will sneak around behind my back and fuck all his whores. Well, I hate to be the one to break the bad news to him. But this time his little act isn’t going to work on me. The only reason why I am even around him right now is because I want to get out of this house.
