Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

"Cheating, Briony? Is that what you think?"

Briony let out a cold laugh. "Stewart, maybe you just can't see decency in anyone because you've never had any yourself."

"Oh, so I'm wrong, am I?"

Stewart closed the distance between them, step by step.

With the bathroom behind her, Briony retreated, lowering her voice in warning. "Don't come any closer."

"What's wrong?" Stewart's expression darkened. "You can get so cozy with Ferdinand and James, but when it comes to me, you act like I'm poison?"

Briony glared, brows tightly knit, wary of waking their daughter. Her voice was a furious whisper. "You're unhinged. I can't talk sense to you. Get out!"

But Stewart wasn't backing down.

He grabbed her wrist in his large hand, dragging her into the bathroom.

"Stewart-!"

Her protest was muffled as the bathroom door slammed shut.

Stewart pinned her against the tiled wall.

He gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.
