Chapter 97: Jenner's Accusation

Jenner's Accusation

Dylan got home only to find Tina in the living room. He dropped his briefcase and suit on the couch before sitting next to her. He didn't only sit beside her, he rested his head on her lap. Tina frowned at Dylan's behavior, she decided to ask him what was wrong because she could see that the boy was disturbed.

"What's wrong?" She asked Dylan but Dylan only sighed.

"Remember the night you asked me to be prepared and that more would come because Jenner had come?" He asked her but didn't look up at her face. Tina nodded so Dylan continued.

"That's what is happening right now, Tina."

Tina felt pity for the man as she began to caress his head.

"It will be alright," she said but Dylan shook his head negatively. He doesn't know if things will be alright again. The way Amelia had held him and yelled at him earlier this morning and what Jenner did when she came to his office, he wondered if things would ever be alright.

"Maybe I am paying for all my wrong deeds of what I did to Amelia before," he said with a hoarse voice but Tina shook her head profusely.

"Nonsense son, nonsense. That's not true."

Dylan didn't say anything but he felt that was why he was being punished. Since Jenner came into the house the peace that he once had with his wife had disappeared. He wondered if he could even go over to his room and have a nice rest.

"You have to be strong. Amelia is only doing this because she has just seen her younger sister have a long time. She misses her."

"But her younger sister isn't good," Dylan said as a child and Tina frowned.

"I know but can you bear with us till Amelia gets to find out by herself?" She asked.

Dylan shook his head, "I don't think I can, I miss my wife." his throat tightened.

"Shhhhhh." Tina comforted him.

Tina kept stroking his hair as she hummed a song till he finally slept off. Her mind drifted to all that Jenner had been doing to her in the house as well. She does not need a soothsayer to tell her that of course, Jenner meant evil.

Since she stepped foot into this house Amelia and Dylan were always having issues, in fact, there was no longer peace. The family they are trying to create with love and trust, she was breaking it apart with her evil ways.

Amelia's doubt about her husband was what was causing the whole thing. If Amelia can trust her hundred all these wouldn't have occurred. All they need to do is put their trust in each other.

After a while, she knew she needed to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner so she woke Dylan up.

"You need to go up to your room and rest."

Dylan shook his head before making his way to Tina's room instead and the woman sighed. Amelia was pushing her man away without knowing it.

She made sure she was comfortable before she left to prepare the food.

That evening, Amelia had made up her mind not to talk to Dylan If he comes, or else he wants to ask Jenner for forgiveness that was the only way she would get to talk with him again.

Amelia felt since they were a couple their family should live together in harmony. Even if his mother doesn't like her, she tries her best to be on good terms with her but Dylan was even trying and that was what kept upsetting her

Amelia came out before knocking on the door of Jenner's room,

"It's dinner time." she walked into Jenner's room and frowned.

It didn't take long before they both came down for dinner. Tess also did after Tina had gone to call her.

"Where is my son? Isn't he back?" Tess asked. Dylan strolled in that same minute before sitting down.

He looked at his wife but she threw her eyes away from him. She was still upset with him so he sighed before picking up his cutlery and began to eat.

He didn't say anything or else being asked questions until Amelia spoke to him with an irritating and angry expression .

"Dylan, are you not satisfied with me?"

Dylan raised a brow at her, "Excuse me?"

Tina could feel that something wasn't right again. They hadn't cleared their issue this morning, was there another one?

"I know you have been back since this afternoon," she said to Dylan who found himself nodding to her words.

Of course, he has been back since this afternoon, he wasn't fine so he needed to come back home to rest.

"You left work to come and try to rape the girl you had claimed you do not like?!"

Dylan's spoon fell off his hand, his eyes widened and his throat tightened. He could not believe his ears. Never in his entire life has he been accused of rape before. He may not be good but he was trying now, why would Amelia believe something like that.

"Ame... lia," he called with difficulty, "I am your husband, have you forgotten that? I will never do that to anyone."

Amelia gave him a look and just looking into her eyes, he remembered that he had forced himself on her some time ago. His heart tightened in his chest. And he watched her add .

"Not once, not twice."

He felt that his brain had exploded, the way she said it made him wish he could quickly go back to the past and erased those things he had done before.

Here he was trying to be the best for his wife but she wasn't giving him a chance to do that.

Amelia's gaze remained on him as she watched her husband's every move. She had gone to meet Jenner to call her for dinner, she was crying when she entered her room

When she said Dylan had tried to rape her, she didn't want to believe it because he was her husband and since she had almost killed herself, he had been caring and loving so why would he want to sleep with someone else?

She didn't believe Jenner until Jenner showed her some spots in her fair body, she also saw the clothes that he had torn from her body. Her eyes watered when Jenner told her that Dylan had come earlier and didn't go to their room because of his plan to come over to sleep with her.

With the lies that Jenner had filled Amelia with, Amelia took action immediately. She would not let her little sister suffer the things that she had suffered at the hands of Dylan.

Jenner, on the other hand, was trying so hard to hide the smirk on her face. Her eyes were down looking at her plate of food as she shed tears but Dylan could see beyond those tears. In fact, everyone could see beyond those tears except Amelia, the main person she wished to trap.

"Amelia, you know Dylan would never do that to Jenner." Tina spoke up but Amelia raised her hand at Tina's face, shutting her words.

"The one accused isn't even saying a word to defend himself." she made a smirk on her face but her eyes were filled with pain Dylan could see it but he was more hurt that Amelia doesn't believe him after all he was doing to prove to her that he loves her.

Amelia pulled Jenner's shirt down to reveal the hickey on her shoulder and scratches on her neck.

"Does this look familiar, Dylan?" She asked with anger in her voice. Dylan's gaze dropped down to Jenner's shoulder.

Those marks were there when she had come to his office to seduce him, he doesn't know a thing about it and why should he? Jenner wasn't his wife, Amelia is.

"Because she refuse to marry you, you want to take her as your mistress and when she kept refusing your advances, You claimed you hate her."

The words kept echoing in his head. He wished he didn't have to hear these from her lips. He wished it was someone else saying this to him. He would have had the strength to speak back but it was his wife, his strength.

"Amelia, you are-"

"I am not mistaken, Tina." Amelia hit her hand on the table.

"I am not mistaken because if I am, Dylan would have said something to defend himself but he isn't saying a word."

Amelia yelled, fixing her gaze on her husband whose eyes were back at her. Dylan couldn't take any more words from his wife anymore, he stood up and went upstairs to their room. Amelia didn't waste time and followed behind yelling.

Tina looked at Tess for help but the woman was busy eating her food.

"I had always warned my son of that woman, he didn't listen. Now, see how the marriage is going to crumble." she said loud enough for Tina to her but she kept eating her food.
