30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Back in the day, Estrella used to come around with a smile on her face, always seeking out his company. But this time, when Jason made the effort to visit her at the Dorvold family residence, she had dropped her usual antics.

Jason couldn’t accept the stark contrast. He felt played, as if Estrella treated him as some kind of fool, amusing herself with him when she was in good spirits and leaving him alone when she wasn’t.

Suddenly, Jason realized something. Although Estrella was always the one initiating things, control never really seemed to be in his hands. It was always hers. She called the shots, acting on a whim.

A laugh escaped Estrella as she said, “What? I was nice to you once and now I’ve got to be nice forever? What about my dignity?”

Jason’s anger got the best of him, and gripping the back of her neck, he yanked her toward him. “Being with me means you’ve got no dignity?”

The tug she said. Then she added, “Let go.”

It wasn’t like she ever had any dignity in his eyes anyway.

Jason’s grip didn’t loosen, and his eyes were ablaze with fury. After struggling in vain to break free, Estrella locked eyes with him and said, “Don’t forget, Jason, that it was your father who came to my family to arrange our marriage, and you were the one who agreed to it. Don’t act like I owe you anything.”

“If you feel…” She was cut off mid-sentence as Jason pulled her into his arms and silenced her with a kiss, which was furious and passionate. It seemed he didn’t want to hear what she was about to say.

When the angry kiss ended, Estrella’s lips were swollen. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand as Jason turned away, changed clothes, and left the room without a backward glance.

Left alone in the room, Estrella seethed with frustration. She couldn’t understand why it always seemed to be her fault, even when he spent the holidays with other women?

Exhausted, she slumped back into her chair. Then, as if on cue, the door flew open, and Autumn breezed in asking, “Estrella, I thought I heard something. Everything okay?”

Glancing around, she added, “Where’s Jason?”
