Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 

Tarquin’s threat worked

Elysia’s big, doe eyes were open wide, filled with indignant rage as she glared at Tarquin. But she didn’t dare to make another move. And that just made her feel even more wronged

The jerk was right there, and she couldn’t lay a finger on him or even give him a piece of her 

mind

With no outlet for her fury, Elysia burst into tears, How can you be so cruel? Haven’t you done enough to ruin my life? What do you even want from me? What are you trying to do?” 

Tarquin was taken aback watching her sob. His mind flashed back to that night when Elijah’s mother cried beneath him. The room was dark, he hadn’t seen her face clearly, and the drugs had made everything hazy, even her voice

But when he kissed the tears from her eyes, he felt them. He didn’t know why seeing this woman cry made him think of her, but in that instant, his heart softened with pity and a strange desire to reach out and wipe away her tears

The next second, however, his brows furrowed again

She couldn’t be her. Elijah’s birth mother was far gentler than this wild woman before him

Even in his drugged state, he knew she was like a gentle cat without a temper

Not Elysia, who was fierce as a tigress

Sighing deeply, Tarquin’s gaze turned impatient once more as he looked at Elysia, Shut up! Stop crying!

Why can’t I cry? Who do you think you are to tell me what to do? You’ve made my life a living hell and why don’t you feel guilty? Are you heartless?” 

Elysia’s heart ached, and her sobs grew louder. She thought she could forget the pain and the humiliation, but his face made it impossible

He’d screwed her over six years ago, and now he was back to haunt her. Was she indebted to him in a past life?! 

Now the was trapped in a marriage she couldn’t escape, her kidsfuture uncertain, anchored to Jindale City, and she was also suddenly buried under a mountain of debt of fifty million dollars

Her life was so miserable

Had God turned a blind eye by turning her into his sole victim

It was too much to bear and she was so afflicted

Since her children’s birth, this was the first time Elysia had lost all control. The children had been her salvation from grief, but seeing Tarquin had driven her to the brink

Tarquin was clueless that she was the one he’d been desperately searching for, nor could he understand her ramblings. He thought her life must’ve turned upside down because of the sudden debt, hence her resentment

That only made him more irritated with her

Ruining someone’s car without remorse but harboring resentment instead? Her way of thinking was all wrong

If he hadn’t needed to question her, he would’ve thrown her out already

You’d better keep quiet!Tarquin threatened, his face dark as thunder

Ah-Elysia let out a feral growl, ready to bite

Tarquin clenched his jaw, Cry one more time, and you’ll never see your kids again in this lifetime.” 

Elysia hit the brakes hard on her outburst, What did you say?!” 

Try me.”
