Leora PoV

"You're trying to poison me!"

I stared at the salad bowl that Lizzy was pointing at, wondering why there was peanut sauce in the bowl.

"I didn't do it, Lizzy. I just added Thousand Island dressing to the salad," I argued in a shaky voice.

Lizzy cried as her face started to swell.  Peter looked at me angrily and rushed to pick up Lizzy, who immediately hugged her by the neck.

"Are you crazy, Leora?"  snapped Moira, my mother-in-law.  "You must have done it on purpose, right? You're jealous of Lizzy, right?"

"No!"  I argued desperately.  "She added the peanut butter herself to slander me!"

Slap!!!

My cheeks were hot and my head was banging, when Moira slapped my cheek hard.  She put her hands on her hips with a bright red face, while next to her Eva laughed sarcastically at me.

"You are so mean," cursed Moira loudly.  "You should be grateful that my son still recognizes you as his wife, even though you are completely useless. You can't even give him a child!"

My tongue is numb.  I really wanted to say a lot of things that I had kept in my heart, but my subconscious mind forbade me.  I'm sure it won't end here.

"Tell Peter to divorce her, Mom," Eva said to her mother.  "If Lizzy were Peter's wife, we would live happily. She is rich and royal, different from this poor and orphaned woman!"

My heart was cut when I heard Eva's cruel words.  All they had been talking about was Lizzy.  They never considered my feelings at all.

Moira stood up and pushed me hard.  "Go to your room and don't dare come out until Peter comes home! If anything happens to Lizzy, I will personally take you to the police station on charges of attempted murder!"

Like criminals, Moira and Eva locked me in the room.  I sat on the bed for the past six months I had mostly slept alone, because Peter preferred to sleep in another room or in Lizzy's apartment.

The woman was Eva's friend.  She and Peter had liked each other in high school, but then Lizzy moved to Canada with her parents and soon there was news that she had married a rich businessman.

I thought Peter had gotten over his heartbreak with Lizzy by the time we met.

Our chance meeting at a bazaar where I helped my younger siblings at an orphanage sell, made me fall in love with him.

Peter proposed to me just eight months after we started dating and from the start of the marriage, Moira and Eva never liked me.  They regretted why Peter married the poor and orphaned me.

One year of our marriage went well.  Peter loved me and always tried to make me happy, even though at that time our situation was ordinary.

Then, when Peter was accepted to work at a multinational company.  With his intelligence and skills, his career rose quickly.
