Emery stared at Teddy's bruised face, her heart aching. Whatever dislike she'd had for Dominick before just shot through the roof.
She couldn't even bring herself to harm that gorgeous face of Teddy's, yet Dominick had the nerve to beat it up.
"You're a piece of work, you know that?" Emery snapped at Dominick, her eyes blazing. "What's your problem? What gives you the right to beat my man?"
Dominick jabbed his finger between Emery and Teddy, turning to Paisley. "Did you hear that? She just straight-up admitted he's her man. And you had a kid with someone like him? Have you lost your mind?"
The thought of Paisley having Serena so soon after their divorce and with a guy like this made Dominic's blood boil.
And there was a good chance that during their marriage, Paisley had already fallen for this pretty boy.
Dominick couldn't understand what he lacked, how he could possibly lose out to some pampered pretty boy. Paisley had been willing to walk away with nothing, even abandoning their son, just to divorce him.
Now, Teddy was cheating on Paisley in front of everyone, but Paisley wasn't showing any hatred toward him. Instead, she was attacking Dominick.
After all, Dominick had only fought Teddy for Paisley's sake.
The more Dominick dwelled on it, the angrier he became, with no outlet for his rage. His cheek and back still stung, a reminder of just how much force Paisley had used when she struck him.
After a long moment of seething, he spat out the words, "Paisley, you're heartless."
Paisley waited for whatever Dominick might say next, only to be caught off guard by his unexpectedly pitiful response. It left her momentarily speechless.
After being so accustomed to seeing Dominick as domineering, arrogant, impatient, and uncompromising, this was the first time she'd ever seen him looking so pathetically wronged.
'What's gotten into this jerk?' Paisley wondered.
