Chapter 65
-NAOMI
Ciment’s gaze is fixed on me, his eyes gleaning with a malevolent intensity that makes my skin crawl. Yet, despite the hostility radiating from him, his gaze feels strangely familiar, like an unpleasant memory that bean’t quite shake.
It’s as if I’ve been subjected to this same venontis stare before.
Nothing is new with him.
“How could talo what to your V
to you? What the hell did I do?” I remain unfazed by his state and make my way past him and to the closet.
“Last night” He begins,
1 pase and turn to him,
“Last night?” I retort
If he says one shiny thing about last night I’m going to walk out that door.
“What about Last night?” My voice is stern.
“I don’t remember all of it, but how could you? You had to ga a on and take advantage of ne
He looks bewildered as he lets the words out.
“Excuse me?” My jaw drops. “Take advantage of you?”
“The last thing I want is to have sex with you again Naomi, and do you think I’d have fucked you if I was in my right senses?”
I pause.
My world is becoming hazy.
His words cut deep, like a knife twisting in my gut.
They’re laced with venom and disdain, making my blood boil with each passing moment.
I’m struggling to keep my composure, my anger and hurt threatening to erupt at any second.
How could he possibly suggest such a thing?
Does he truly despise me so much that he’d rather reject me entirely, rather than share a bed with me again!
The thought stings, and I’m left reeling, trying to make sense of his cruel and hurtful words.
“Fine. Let’s say you find me obnoxious and you regret last night. But the last thing I can do is take advantage of a grown man like you. It’s the other way around” I scoff, ignoring the aching pain in my chest.
Maybe this is the best.
Maybe we’re better off as enemies married to each other.
Because each time both of us take one intimate step closer to each other, it leads to nothing but arguments like this.
Whatever relationship we have, it is becoming a toxic cycle of love and hate.
Not entire love
Maybe Lust and hate
I don’t think I’ll ever find myself falling for duis man.
“I was drunk Naomi, you could have let me be” He growls.
I don’t know why he hates the idea of sex with me so much but how dare her
Chapter 65
I never lie about that.
I enjoyed every second with him last night.
But looks like I was
www way out
out of his league. I’m sure Kimberly is still a good fit. Since the two of them are still legally married. They can hit it off,
“You were drunk. You literally need to go down memory lane. I was the one who protested, you inflicted it down on me. I never wanted to have sex with you. Fully intoxicated by heaven knows the amount of bottles of drinks you had. You were driven by lust and came down on me like a fucking leech!” My words are sharp and it causes him to freeze.
I’ve turned the tables on him, snatching the accusations from his lips and hurling them back in his face.
And I’m unapologetically proud of it. How dare he try to twist the truth and make me out to be the villain?
His audacity knows no bounds, and I’m fed up with being unfairly blamed and belinled.
For once, I’m taking control of the narrative and refusing to be silenced.
“Well thank you for making last night the worst night of my life” He seethes.
I freeze.
His words run cold down my body like an illness.
I hold his gaze and the only thing I can see from his grim eyes is plain seriousness..
I really don’t want to burst out crying but his words are so mean.
He’s still the same jerk I met years ago.
“Well. You’re welcome my voice shakes and 1 bite the insides of my cheeks to prevent me from bursting into flames.
I walk inside the closet and then come out again.
His gaze is now focused on his shirt and the buttons he’s closing up.
“You know” I begin. –
“I think it’ll be best if we end things” I continue
He averts his gaze to my direction.
what do you mean!”
Tignore him, both physically and emotionally, and retreat to the closet, seeking a fleeting sanctuary from the toxic exchange
Islam the door behind me, locking it to prevent any further intrusion, and finally allow the tears that have been welling up to fall.
In the confided closet, I surrender to the emotions I’ve been trying to keep at bay, letting the sobs rack my body as I struggle to process the pain and frustration that threatens to consume me.
Such a jerk
With a fierce determination, I grab my clothes from the rack and hastily dress in a matching set of comfortable sweats, my movements fueled by a mix of anger and hurt.
I fling open the closet door, ready to face whatever comes next, and find Circen standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on me with an unreadable expression
His patience and calm demeanor only serve to heighten my frustration, and I glare at him, my eyes flashing with a defiant intensity.
“What did you mean by that?” He growls.
I scoff.
“I meant what I said. It was never real anyways. So let’s do each other a favor and get a divorce
The word takes a turmoil in Circenn’s expression and he shifts his body to block my path.
“What?” He grimaces
Chapter 63
“I want a divorce. It’s as easy as that!” I snarl.
Islon’t care about any other thing. I can’t live like this,
My boys can still be loved by both parents and I’ll find Elena a better job,
I don’t want to be a McCain anymore.
rletting us get a divorce”
“Over my dead body” Circenn growls. “Think again. I’m never letting
“What We’re not even real” I shake my head.
“I don’t care what you think is reall or not, but I’m not letting you go. Not now, not soon” His words are stern.
“I know we agree on nine months. But I can’t do this anymore” I seethe.
“I don’t care. I’m not getting a divorce until I want to” He walks away from me to fix his belt on his pants, making my words irrelevant.
He doesn’t mean this.
“Until you want to repeat, my voice laced with skepticism and a hint of desperation.
“And what about when our agreed–upon months of this sham marriage finally come to an end? Will you finally consent to a divorce then?” My heart races as I await his response, my mind bracing for the possibility that he might still refuse to let me go
-When the time arrives. We’ll see about that” He nods,
I scoff
“That’s how you want to keep me trapped. This was my mistake. I won’t blame anyone but myself.”
“Trapped!” He scoffs. “Thope that translates to having your way with me four years ago and leading your way into my life with the twins”
This time my heart sinks in.
“Excuse me?” I am speechless.
“Circenn they are your kids. How can I make you feel trapped with them?”
Curcenn scott’s bitterly
“Do not misinterpret my words. They’re the best part of my life right now, but wasn’t it your intention before getting pregnant for me? You intentionally got me drunk, seduced me and had your way with me so you can have something to pinpoint me with. I know you never expected getting pregnant. But at least you wanted something from me. So don’t talk about entrapment when it’s been your goal before you met me
I am shocked. My body is unstable as I stare at the man in front of me.
He’s not entirely wrong about what happened four years ago,
But he’s misinterpreting my intentions
I never meant to trap him, never intended to use our marriage as a means of ensnaring him. But life took unexpected turns, and circumstances evolved in ways we couldn’t have predicted.
“So do not think me brazen when I say and believe you took advantage of me last night. It is your best and only trait as a woman after all” His words are vile, mixed with a dirty and venomous tone as he speaks to me.
“You got me, and now you’re aiming at Charles Dickson”

My eyes twitch and 1 gulp heavily.
His words are killing me, but I dare not react.
I close my eyes and open them again.
“You’re a jerk,” I begin. “And now I understand why Kimberly left you. And I’ll make sure I leave you the exact same way. And till you meet youE demise Circenn. You’ll never be loved and accepted by a woman if all you think is people coming at you for an ulterior motive”
Isay and in auger I leave the rouen.
