My Husband’s Mistress Fed Me Bugs Chapter 06

Her words reminded me of my stepmother’s family.

They had also thought that once they won, they could decide the fate of everyone in our branch of the family.

I told them the game wasn’t over, and that no one should celebrate too soon.

They didn’t believe me.

Not until I came at them with a knife did they realize that even someone backed into a corner could flip the board.

I had chosen Orion, but never for the DeLuca money.

I had wanted him.

He had, once, shown me a sliver of sincerity.

The higher you climb, the more you understand how rare that is.

Now I understood.

People who stand at the very top can, in the end, only rely on themselves.

I stopped talking.

Seeing me go quiet only made Chiara’s expression darken.

She turned and retrieved another glass jar.

“Looks like these bugs aren’t enough.”

“Not enough to scare you, and not enough for everyone to enjoy the show.”

“So I’ll add a little more.”

Someone immediately leaned forward.

“Do it.”

“If that whole jar goes in, she’ll have to jump out.”

“I’d better get ready. Maybe she’ll throw herself right at me.”

After he said it, his whole face flushed with anticipation.

The other men in the room also stared at me, waiting for the spectacle to begin.

“A woman like this… Only Orion would be willing to give her up.”

“I’ve wanted a taste of her for a long time.”

“Estelle Hayes, listen to me.”

“Orion doesn’t want you. I do.”

“Come with me.”

The moment he finished speaking, he lunged for me.

His smile was nauseating. He reached out, his hand about to close on me.

I snapped my hand up and punched him square in the face.

“Get lost.”

“Touch me again, and I swear I’ll kill you.”
