heard a loud
thundering noise envelope the room. I curled myself in a ball on
the bed and thought of what was going on.
    “You fool”, Margo shouted and I could hear both of
them struggle. They were both on the floor and thanks to the
handcuffs I was not in a position to help Gavin. For a woman, Margo
put up a strong fight and I only looked up when I saw Gavin get to
his feet. His arm was circled around Margo’s neck as they both got
to their feet and faced me.
    “Where are the keys?” Gavin asked and I knew he must
have been referring to the handcuff.
    “By the table”, Margo whispered in defeat. Gavin
walked slowly in reverse to get them. He took them and threw it my
way. Margo had only cuffed, my left wrist and I slowly uncuffed my
hand and set it free. I sat up and waited for the next course of
action, wondering what to do next. The cold air that blew past me
from the window reminded me that I was naked and I immediately
started fishing around the room for my clothes.
    “Gavin, I thought you loved me”, Margo shouted
amidst tears that her eyes couldn’t contain anymore. “How could you
do this to me?! Cheat with your own sister?!”
    “In his defense, we are only related through
marriage”, I answered. I had somehow gotten my courage back now
that the tables had been turned.
    “Have you no shame?!” Margo directed the question at
me and again I searched my heart. I tried to feel guilty, maybe
Margo’s tears would move me but that was not the case. I felt
disturbed but not remorseful, I wanted them to take the drama
elsewhere but I was not sorry. I looked around the room and
wondered on whether I should leave it or not. It was my house, they
were the ones trespassing. Gavin however looked guilty, I guess it
was because Margo was the mother of her children and that fact was
always impaled in him.
    “I’m sorry”, Gavin mouthed. His arm was still around
her neck and she would occasionally struggle to go free.
    “Don’t be babe, she is having an affair with two
other men”, I said. I felt jealous and it was an ugly feeling. For
the first time in my life I decided not to roll over and get
stepped on. I wanted to claim what was mine or what I thought was
mine rather.
    “Is that true?” Gavin asked a silent Margo and from
the look on her face it looked true. She looked over at me, angry
and spat in my way. I looked up at her and had a sinister smile
plastered on my face, I felt like a hero or winner of some
sort.
    “True or not, I am better off sleeping with whoever
I want than the two of you. You are so pathetic, have you no
boundaries?!” Margo asked and I knew what she had said was true. I
looked at Gavin and searched his face; I couldn’t tell whether he
was feeling sorry or remorseful. He had no emotion on his face and
I wondered if he was to choose which side he would fall on.
    Margo tried wriggling out of Gavin’s firm grip but
it was not so easy for her. I however kept my distance and watched
her squirm.
    “The two of you are disgusting!” she went on to say
bitterly “I am going to file for divorce and I will let you tell
everyone else why. I will make both your lives miserable”.
    “Good luck proving that”, I said.
    “I found out that you have been sleeping with each
other for the last three years, do you think I have no evidence?”
Margo said.
    Her words got my attention this time and my heart
froze for a second. I looked at Gavin and then focused my attention
back to Margo. Suddenly she got my interest and from the look on
Gavin’s face, his as well.
    I didn’t know what to say and before I could do
anything I watched Margo reach into her trench coat and stab Gavin
in the thigh. Gavin let out an earsplitting howl as he let go of
Margo and fell to the ground.
    She then turned on him and flung the knife again at
him, this time into his shoulder. I winced as I listened to Gavin
scream again and looked at Margo. She had a dangerously deathly
look on her face and without warning I
