Shadows Drift Beyond Memory by Xarin Vale novel Chapter 36

Chapter 7

Flynn didn’t dare act out in front of the commander, but head no problem yelling at me.

He shot me a look that could kill, his voice dripping with monace.

“No way! Do you even know what you’re saying? You burned that transfer notice yourself!”

“Mira, you’d better think hard before you speak. Where would you even go without me?”

I glanced at him and flashed a mocking smile.

“That was just an acknowledgment receipt. The second I mailed it back, my transfer was approved.”

Meeting my cold gaze, he shouted furiously.

“Mira, we’re married! I won’t let you leave. You’re stuck with me!”

“Think about what you’re doing–do you really want to throw this away?”

I just smiled.

He had no idea how long I’d been waiting for this moment.

I pulled out the torn marriage certificate and threw it in his face.

Flynn’s expression twisted, but he still tried to keep up the act.

“Why’d you tear that up? You think it changes anything? Even if you shred it to pieces, we’re still married.”

I clapped slowly. “Still acting.”

Flynn’s face froze. He stared at me in disbelief, forcing himself to stay calm.

“What are you talking about…”

I laughed and cut him off.

“Enough. You’re not tired of lying, but I’m tired of listening.”

“Flynn Reeves, the only reason I didn’t burn this completely was to ask you–how the hell did you forge something this convincing?”

The moment those words left my mouth, not just Flynn but everyone present went pale.

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

“A fake marriage license? They’ve been together for years–ow could it be fake?”

“Unbelievable. You can’t even tell.”

I said calmly. “If you don’t believe me, go ahead and check. No matter how real a fake looks, anyone who’s seen the real thing can tell the difference.”

Someone reached for the certificate, but Flynn lunged forward to grab it, roaring: “Back off!”

Now everyone could tell something was fishy.

The commander had a military police officer collect it for inspection.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long to confirm it was fake.

The crowd erupted. The way they looked at Flynn turned ugly.

“A fake marriage license–what kind of sick game is that?”

“Did he scam her? That’s disgusting.”

Flynn heard every word. His face grew darker.

I seized the moment to drop another bomb.

“Flynn Reeves, if you wanted out, you could’ve just said so.”

“You had me cooking and cleaning while you secretly got a real license with your dead brother’s wife. Why the charade?”

He looked up in shock, his voice shaking slightly.

“How…did you know?”

I just stared at him coldly.

Someone else asked me, “Mrs. Foster, could there be a misunderstanding? This is just too messed up…”

I smirked. “Messed up? What if I told you that Holly’s son is Flynn’s kid?”

“The second his brother died, they got their license.”

“Flynn used a fake to string me along so he could be with Hally.”
