Shadows Drift Beyond Memory by Xarin Vale novel Chapter 37

Chapter 8

“If you don’t believe me, check my house. Their real marriage license is still in Holly’s bookshelf. One look and you’ll know.”

Actually, there was no need to check. Holly was basically confessing already.

She grabbed Flynn’s arm, shaking it frantically.

“Flynn Reeves, are you even a man? Are you just gonna let them trash me like this?!”

Flynn was beyond annoyed. Impatience flickered across his face.

“Enough! Is now really the time?”

He was overwhelmed and didn’t even bother with her anymore.

Flynn looked at me desperately, his tone softer than I’d ever heard.

“Mira, everything before was a mistake. I didn’t think things through. I hurt you.”

“I’ll treat you right from now on. Can you give me another chance?”

I stayed cold, my tone distant.

“There’s nothing between us to discuss. Move.”

Flynn reached for my hand urgently.

“Don’t forget we have a son. How can you raise him alone? I can’t stand thinking of you struggling.”

“Mira, if you just stay home, you’ll never worry about money. You won’t even need to work. Isn’t that a good life?”

“Don’t go. I’ll prove I mean it!”

He kept talking, sounding so sincere.

But Holly, cowering off to the side, couldn’t take it anymore. Her voice turned sharp and bitter.

“Flynn Reeves, what are you doing? Everyone knows we’re the real couple now. Why are you still keeping her around?!”

Then she shot me a nasty look, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Mira’s got some skills, doesn’t she?”

Chapter B

“A few sweet words and men just fall all over themselves beleving her. Wonder how many times she’s pulled that

tricks”

Before I could respond, Flynn turned on her, his gaze icy.

“Shut your mouth.”

“Mira’s the one I truly loved!”

“If you hadn’t seduced me, I never would’ve been stupid enough to get a license with you.”

“I was supposed to be with Mira. You ruined everything!”

Holly looked completely stunned, swaying on her feet.

“Flynn Reeves, you bastard!”

“You slept with me before your brother was even cold! You got me pregnant!”

“You promised we’d be together forever. Once we deployed to Fort Bragg, we’d be husband and wife. How can you go back on your word?!”

She lunged at him, clawing at his face.

The two wrestled, and Holly’s words grew more and more obscene.

The guests watched, stunned, and started condemning Flynn as a cheating scumbag.

Flynn managed to shove Holly off.

His face was covered in scratches. Still, he tried to pledge loyalty to me.

“Mira, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll divorce Holly. Let’s get our license today–no, right now.”

“From now on, it’ll just be the two of us. You’ll be my only wife.”

I laughed coldly and shook off his hand.

“I don’t care who you marry. It’ll never be me.”

“Flynn Reeves, without you, I’ll have a better life. You’re the one dragging me down.”

His face went ashen. His lips trembled.

“No, that’s not true. Let me explain. I really want to make it up to

“The baby’s fine, isn’t he?”

Chapter 8

You’re just mad about the license, right? I promise we’ll get real one. Okay?”

“We’ve been together all these years. Now we have a kid. How can you leave me?”

I’d seen enough of his act.

I only felt disgust.

Just then, a group of uniformed MPs stormed into the room

The leader wore an Inspector General’s badge.

“We’ve received a report that Lieutenant Colonel Flynn Reeves is suspected of abusing his authority and stealing opportunities from fellow soldiers. You need to come with us.”
