Chapter 222: Pay Back

Scarlett’s POV

​I blinked wildly, pushing wet strands of hair away from my face. Through the dripping water, I looked toward the foot of the bed.

​Talia stood there, holding an empty metal bucket. Her face was twisted into an ugly, hateful sneer.

​"Have you no shame?" Talia screamed, her voice trembling with pure rage. She slammed the empty bucket onto the floor with a loud clang. "Look at you! Crawling into another woman’s bed! I am married to this man, Scarlett! I am his wife, and you are nothing but a shameless slut trying to steal what belongs to me!"

​Beside me, the entire bed shook. The temperature in the room dropped instantly, but it wasn’t from the water. It was Leonard. A dark, terrifying growl rumbled deep inside his chest, his inner wolf rising to the surface with deadly intent. He looked ready to tear her head off right then and there.

​But I didn’t give him the chance.

​Instead of breaking down, instead of crying or hiding behind Leonard’s large body, a strange, freezing calmness washed over me.

​Slowly, deliberately, I pushed the heavy, wet covers off my legs. I slid off the edge of the bed and stood up. I didn’t care that my nightwear was soaking wet and clinging to my body. I locked my eyes right onto Talia’s, my face dead cold.

​Talia took a small step back, her chest heaving heavily, clearly not expecting me to be this calm. She probably thought I was going to burst into tears. Newsflash, sweetie: not today.

​I didn’t say a single word. I walked right past her toward the master bathroom. My eyes swept over the room until they landed on the large decorative bucket Leonard used to keep champagne on ice. It was still sitting on the side counter, filled to the top with melting ice and freezing water.

​I grabbed the heavy handles, lifting it easily.

​I walked back out into the bedroom. Talia was still standing there, her mouth open, ready to spit more insults at me. "What do you think you’re—"

​Before she could even finish her sentence, I swung my arms forward and dumped the entire bucket straight over her head.

​SPLASH!

​A massive wave of freezing water and solid ice cubes slammed directly into Talia’s face.
