Petra waved goodbye to Kagome as she stepped onto the porch of her lovely home. The home where her handsome husband and beautiful daughter lived.
Kagome grabbed her wrist, her bangs shielding her eyes from Petra.
"Kagome?"
"I met your husband," Kagome said in a low voice.
Petra stiffened, "O-of course you have! Erwin is quite lovely isn't he?" she tried to play it off.
Kagome shook her head, "You know of who I speak of, Petra Ackerman."
In an instant, Petra turned into a whole new person. One Kagome didn't recognize
Petra yanked her arm from Kagome's grasp, "Tch." she scowled and her usual sweet look dropped. She glared at Kagome, "What a pain in the ass someone like you had to find out." She ran her fingers through her hair.
"How could you do something like this to your family..?"
"Well, I might as well tell you. Not like they're gonna believe you if you said anything anyway. After all," she put on her usual fake smile that dripped with such a sweet tone, it made Kagome sick, "Who would believe you over sweet little me?"
Kagome's eye twitched.
"I wasn't planning on staying with Levi for as long as I have been. We've known each other since high school and Levi was well off. I was just a poor girl, so I did what I had to to survive in this world. I wooed Levi and we got married."
"So you never…"
"I never once loved Levi." The coldness in her eyes startled her and Kagome felt the rage boil inside of her.
"I was only planning only staying long enough to be entitled to half of his money, but then I got pregnant with Kaeda," Petra scowled, "After Kaeda was born and old enough to bottle feed, Levi took over care for her, even taking time off for her. In that time, I started a new job and met Erwin. It was love at first sight. I introduced myself with my maiden name and slipped the ring off my finger before anyone else noticed. Soon, Erwin and I started dating, of course we kept it a secret. I was planning on telling him I was married, and then he mentioned he was friends with Levi and Hanji."
Kagome silently listened to her story. Not once did her anger disappear, it only seemed to intensify.
"I knew I couldn't say anything. I knew I had to divorce Levi first."
"Why haven't you," Kagome spat. She didn't even try to hide the hate.
Petra shrugged, "Might as well milk the cow for as long as I can." She smirked before yanking the door open, "Also, consider yourself fired….Honey, I'm home!" she shot Kagome a smirk before shutting the door.
