Chapter 57
Stephanie's Point of View
I couldn't believe my ears. Had I turned into a mere doll they were debating over who gets to take to their room? I felt the blood boiling in my veins as Mr. Victor rose from his seat, slamming his hand onto the table and shouting in a rage: "What insolence, Cedric!"
Alex stood up suddenly, his muscles tightening as if he were about to pounce, but I quickly extended my hand and stopped him, saying in a firm tone: "You will not move."
Cedric laughed mockingly. "Why are you all acting like this? Why do you treat Alex and Stephanie's marriage as if it's real? Alex is just a substitute for me, and I will be her man inside this house!"
Every word that came out of his mouth stabbed at my dignity and made me feel ashamed. Mr. Victor shouted at his face: "Do you realize what you're saying, Cedric? Have you lost your mind?"
Alexander growled in a low voice, thick with rage: "She is my wife inside the house and outside of it. Do you hear me?"
