His face darkened. “Have I ever asked you for anything?”

Bethan pouted. “Maybe not, but you did throw me into a police station. That nearly cost me my life.”

Hugh opened her car door, placing the box inside.

Holding her hand, he said, “Whether I keep score or send you to the cops, I just wanted to scare you, to keep you close.”

“You’re my wife,” he added. “How could I ever let you truly get hurt?”

Bethan met his eyes. “Since Megan and her son came back, haven’t you hurt me enough?”

Their gazes locked, tension thick between them.

Seeing his pained look, Bethan got into her car.

Rolling down the window, she tossed the jewelry box out

and drove off.

rain.

Bending down, he picked up the drenched box. The umbrella slipped from his numb fingers, carried off by the wind.

He stood frozen, clutching the amulet tightly, letting the rain soak him through.

Nearby, Megan hid behind a tree with an umbrella, eyes red with jealousy.

It turned out the amulet Hugh had gone to such lengths to buy wasn’t for her son.

She hadn’t expected him to spend so much to please Bethan, even gifting it to Calvin’s kid.

Seething, she turned and slipped away.

At eight that evening, Bethan was chatting with her family in their living room when a frantic doorbell interrupted.

She got up to answer it.

“Megan, what are you doing at my parents’ place?”

Blinded by jealousy and rage, Megan shoved past her, storming into the living room.

Megan stormed into the living room, barely steady on her feet, when Barry grabbed a vase and charged at her, roaring, “I’ll kill you!”

Caught off guard by Barry’s presence, Megan turned and fled.

At the door, she shouted at Bethan, “I’ll be waiting downstairs!”

As Megan scrambled into the elevator, Bethan stopped

Barry.

He tried to chase after her. “That woman’s too bold, barging into our house!”

Miranda snatched the vase from his hands. “Women like her have no bottom line. Don’t waste your time on her.”

Vincent, fuming, sat silently on the couch, his face dark. 3/7

She went to her room, changed, grabbed an umbrella,

and headed out.

Her parents’ home was her sanctuary.

Her family was her final line.

She’d never let Megan disturb them.

Late at night, under a light rain, Megan’s umbrella lay abandoned at Bethan’s doorstep. Soaked and disheveled, she stood by the garden strip.

Seeing Bethan approach leisurely with her umbrella, Megan’s anger flared.

She rushed forward, screaming, “Bethan, you wretch! You claim you want a divorce, but sneak around seducing Hugh to follow you to Europe, even sleeping with him. You say you’ll leave with nothing, yet you steal the birthday gift Hugh bought for my son!”

Bethan set her umbrella down, stepped up to Megan, and

grabbed her hair.

She slapped Megan hard, several times.

Megan stumbled back, defenseless, blood streaming from her nose and mouth.

When Megan collapsed into a shallow puddle, unable to stand, Bethan shook out her stinging hand and stopped.

Picking up her umbrella, she loomed over Megan.

“If you ever disturb my family again,” Bethan warned, “I’ll slap you every time I see you.”

Megan, hindered by her heels, struggled to her feet, a sodden mess.

Gritting her teeth, she spat, “Bethan, I hate your high-and-mighty act.

“You blacklisted me from your hospital appointments because you lost your kid and are jealous of how Hugh treats my son. You hate me. You’re refusing to divorce, just to spite me.

“Hugh’s always known my son isn’t his, yet he still hurt Foul for us. And you still won’t divorce?”

“You’re part of why Hugh and I are where we are,” she said, “but whatever has happened between us, I’ve never targeted you.”
