I felt my face grow red
She glared at me
"How long?!" She slammed her fists down on the table before her
"F-Five.. years" I mumbled out, looking at the floor.
She gasped, and sputtered, trying to find words. "F-FIVE.. ..Y-Y-YEARS?! FIVE GODFORSAKEN YEARS YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING WITH... A MAN?!"
I groaned "Listen dear-"
"DON'T YOU 'DEAR' ME YOU CUR!"
"Okay I won't! You bumbling fool! I don't love you I never have! I've never even fancied females at all! I love Julien!" I spat, tearing up. This was too much.
She looked striken. "I'll kill him" she uttered slowly.
My heart snapped. "You'll do nothing of the sort! You leave him be! I'll do anything"
She laughed, my stomach churned.
"Oh you will." She said, turning around and sitting at her desk. "I'll make a deal with you"
"Y-Yes?"
"50 days. Two challenges a day. You do them, no questions asked. Slip up I'll hurt him. If you do them, you keep him, I'll end the engagement between us, and you can run off and elope with him, sound fair?"
"Yes" I said, I didn't wanna get on her bad side more than I already have.
That night I wrote to Julien.
Dear my beloved,
How was your evening? Good I hope. Mine was dreary. She, Marie, found our notes...
She's furious. She made a deal with me. In order to keep you alive and us together my dear.
Fifty days. Two challenges every day, I shall do them every day, no questions asked, to keep her promise.
After fifty days my engagement to her is terminated, and we can elope like we planned.
Write to me soon my dear
Sincerely, Victor
Hopefully her challenges wouldnt be too bad
