THE PAIN YOU GIVE

CHAPTER 15-Revelations and Reckonings

As the days passed, the weekend arrived, marking the big day for Uma and her husband's anniversary celebration at Jason's mansion. The gathering included Mr. Tailor, Tameka, Joe, and Auntie Imelda, all present to commemorate the occasion. June and Jason sat together on the sofa, while Chrissy stood in the corner of the hall, observing the festivities. "Men will always be men," a voice beside Chrissy remarked, drawing her attention. She turned to see Andrea standing beside her. "Huh?" Chrissy responded, puzzled.

"I mean Jason," Andrea clarified. "I thought he married the love of his life, but he keeps stealing glances at you. "Chrissy's gaze instinctively shifted to where Jason sat, and their eyes met briefly before she looked away, her expression a mix of disgust and anger. "He's a fool, Andrea," she spat out.

"Oh," Andrea replied, taken aback. "But wait, I thought you loved him. Now you hate him?" she questioned, confused by Chrissy's sudden change in demeanor . Chrissy's response was cold and devoid of emotion. "And I want him to disappear," she stated bluntly before walking away,

leaving Andrea to ponder her words. Shrugging off the strange encounter, Andrea made her way to the wine section, deciding to join her husband.

"Let's salute the happy couple," Jason's voice cut through the jovial atmosphere, commanding everyone's attention as they clinked their glasses together. Laughter filled the hall, and merrymaking ensued.

Meanwhile, Mr. Tailor sat quietly until Tameka approached him, seeking a private conversation. "Umm, Dad, I want to inform you about some urgent news regarding Chrissy," she began, her voice laced with concern.

As Tameka relayed the information to her father, his anger simmered beneath the surface until it reached a boiling point. With a sudden eruption of fury, he stood up, causing the room to fall silent as his body shook with shock.

"CHRISTINA!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the hall, capturing everyone's attention. Chrissy turned, her heart pounding as she met her father's enraged gaze.

Tameka stood behind her father, her arms folded and a smirk playing on her lips. "YOU! YOU WITCH!" Mr. Tailor screamed, his accusation cutting through the air like a blade. Chrissy felt a shiver run down her spine, confusion clouding her mind as she tried to comprehend her father's sudden outburst.

"OMG, what again?" Auntie Imelda interjected, her concern evident, but Mr. Tailor paid her no heed. Instead, he moved toward Chrissy without warning, his actions fueled by rage. In an instant, he grabbed her hair and dragged her to the centre of the hall, the room now filled with tense anticipation and worried whispers.

"Mr. Tailor!" Jason exclaimed, rising from his seat, his instinct to protect Chrissy kicking in. But his father-in-law warned him sternly not to come any closer. Helpless, Jason stood there, his fists clenched at his sides, his heart pounding with a mix of fury and fear. "How dare you! How dare you try to disgrace me!" Mr. Tailor thundered, his voice laced with indignation as he forcefully threw Chrissy to the floor.

"You are sleeping with another man behind your husband's back!" Mr. Tailor's accusation hung in the air like a heavy cloud, sending shockwaves through the room. Jason's eyes widened in disbelief as he processed his father-in-law's words, his mind reeling with a tumult of emotions.

Meanwhile, Tameka and June couldn't contain their amusement, bursting into laughter at the spectacle unfolding before them. Chrissy lay on the floor, stunned by the accusation and the sudden turn of events,. ..... "I never raised a whore! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Mr. Tailor's words cut through the tense silence, echoing in the hall as tears streamed down Chrissy's face. She remained silent, keeping to herself amidst the shock and humiliation.
