Chapter Forty-One

#Chapter Forty-One

Serene closed the door behind her. Frank was seated at the table in his new room and it was the first time she saw the inside. Betrayal shone in his eyes and he stared at her with despair.

"Serene, I thought we were friends."

"I think we stopped being friends when we exchanged vows," she laughed.

"What's wrong with you? What is this I hear about you?"

"What?"

"The servants are all saying that you are fucking Lachlan behind my back."

"You gave me permission to find another man to impregnate me, didn't you? I did what you asked!"

"I said with a stranger! Lachlan is no stranger."

"Yeah, of course, no stranger to you alright! He loves you so fucking much! Does he cry out your name when he fucks you in your tight ass?!"

"What?! Lachlan and I are not sexually involved."

She paused. "What do you mean? He told me you were."

"What?" Frank said as he considered her words.

"I saw him coming out of your room at night! And you kissed him!"

"No, no," Frank said. "You misunderstood. Lachlan did not kiss me, it only looked like he did. We're only close friends, I don't feel that way for him."

"Stop lying to me!"

"It's the truth, dear. Lachlan lied to you. And I know why."

She waited for him to continue speaking.

"He did it to protect me, I know it. We've always been close friends since we met a long time ago. The truth is, I have been fucking my nephew and he's been helping me keep it a secret. He lied to cover up what I did."

"You've been fucking your nephew?!"

"Why do you think my brother and his family are over all the time?"

The truth hit her hard. "Christ," she said. She thought back to all the things she did to Lachlan.

She was truly fucking crazy.
