I Divorced You Now You Beg (Thalia and Darion) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

The faint scrape of his calloused palm against the sensitive skin of her waist sent an involuntary shudder through her body

Her struggles grew more frantic. But the confines of the passenger seat offered no escape, and his weight pinned her down with effortless authority Gradually, her resistance waned.

Her lips tingled from the kiss, and Thalia’s eyes smoldered with a mixture of anger and an undeniable warmth.

Feeling her surrender, Darion’s kiss softened into something almost tender Come back to Rosewood Manor with me,” he murmured against her mouth “Let’s start over.”

A sheen of moisture blurred Thalia’s vision, but she willed the tears not to fall

“Fine, she said.

Darion stiffened. The relief hadn’t even reached him yet when she continued. “On one condition You never see Keith again. Stay away from Miya. If she’s anywhere near, you leave

His brow furrowed. “Keith is my brother’s only child. I’ve been there since the day he was born.”

A sharp slap echoed through the air.

The slap wasn’t hard. She’d exhausted herself fighting him, but it landed with conviction.

“Don’t you dare.” Her eyes sliced into him. I don’t need you to remind me, Darion. I know you were there for every single moment, from the pregnancy all the way through to the delivery.”

“You’re misunderstanding.” He worked his jaw, forcing down his temper. This has always been about Keith. There’s never been anyone but you.”

“Well, I don’t want you anymore.” Her chest rose and fell sharply. “Once a cheater, always a cheater.”

“I didn’t cheat, Darion insisted.

“Maybe not.” Her smile turned mocking. “But try convincing anyone else of that. You and Miya? Everyone assumes something happened.

“You know, when we were divorcing, even my parents thought you two should be together. After all, you’ve practically raised Keith like your own, perfect stand-in for the father he never had.

Darion’s expression hardened, a chill settling over his features.

“No one makes decisions for me,” he said, his voice low, his gaze hardening.

He hadn’t anticipated the Coleman family’s indifference, nor did he expect them to prioritize Miya over Thalia.

He’d always told himself she was being unreasonable, inventing grievances against the adopted sister who’d never done anything wrong.

Now, for the first time, doubt crept in. Had she been unreasonable? Or had they simply pushed her too far?’

“Thalia, I never wanted a divorce. The only reason I agreed to it was that you left me no choice.” Darion reached out, brushing his fingers along her cheek.

“Eight years together. That’s not something you just walk away from like it never happened.”

But Thalia turned her head away, removing herself from his touch. “I regret.”

She didn’t get to finish. Darion kissed her again, cutting off the words he couldn’t bear to hear

His mouth pressed against hers with a force that bordered on rough, and Thalia winced at the pressure

A tap on the window shattered the moment.

Darion’s expression hardened as he turned to look

Matthew stood on the passenger side, his face tilted with curiosity as he tried to peer inside

But the tinted windows gave nothing away
