“At least you’re honest enough to admit it. But what happens when you’ve squeezed every last drop of value out of me? You and Marie will take my son, live happily ever after as a family of three, and toss me aside again.”
“Marie is my sister-in-law. That’s all she will ever be.”
“Frankly, I don’t care what she is to you. It has nothing to do with me. You can go now.”
“Can you really let go of me and our son? Even knowing it was a misunderstanding, you’re unwilling to come back?”
“A misunderstanding? The world isn’t full of so many misunderstandings. Maybe nothing happened that night, but if I hadn’t found out, perhaps something would have happened in a few weeks, or a couple of months. Some things are inevitable; it’s just a matter of when.”
“I would never have a relationship with her. She’s my sister-in-law.”
“I know. And I have no desire to go back to serving your sister-in-law and your entire family. I’m fine on my own. Leave.”
Seeing Natalie’s unwavering resolve, Darren lost control.
He pinned her against the wall, his eyes burning with intensity. “You are my wife. I’m not leaving. And for the rest of your life, you can't be with anyone but me.”
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Natalie struggled to break free and answer it, but Darren held her tight.
Then, they heard Charles Fairchild’s voice.
“Natalie, open up. It’s me.”
Hearing Charles Fairchild’s voice, Darren’s face darkened.
“That old geezer. What’s he doing here so late? What exactly is going on between you two?”
“It’s exactly what you think.”
Natalie deliberately provoked him. Darren’s face turned green with rage. Seizing the opportunity, Natalie stomped on his foot and quickly ran to open the door.
Charles Fairchild entered and saw Darren, immediately asking with concern.
