“What the hell happened to you?” Gabe asks looking at the ice pack that was plastered to my face.

I take a deep breath, trying to cool down the fire burning inside me.

was his and he wasn’t going to allow me to ruin things” I admit finally.

“Yes!”

He sighs before sitting down. “In case you haven’t noticed, she’s no longer your wife and given that
