When There Is Nothing Left But Love

All of a sudden, his phone rang. I had no interest in his phone calls, but he seemed to enjoy putting his phone on loudspeaker recently.

He answered the call, and the person on the line started crying. “Ash, Scarlett reported me to the police! Help!”

Rebecca? At this hour?

I thought she would have called earlier when the cops got her.

Ashton shot me a stare, and I just shrugged my shoulders. “What was I supposed to do? She appeared in my house without my permission.”

He massaged his forehead, obviously unsure about how to handle the situation. “It’s late now. Just stay overnight in the police department. I’ll ask Joseph to get you the next morning.”

“Ash…” Before Rebecca could say anything, the man ended the call.

He then looked at me, clearly not knowing what to do with me. “Did you have to report her to the police? Why couldn’t you just have changed the lock?”

I lowered my eyes and examined my nails as I scoffed, “Did you give her the key to the villa? Perhaps, you should even record her fingerprint for identification purposes and grant her access to the house. If you plan to do so, tell me in advance, so I can sell my share of the property to you and move out.”

“Listen carefully, Scarlett Larson.” He raised his voice. “We’re married, and you’re my wife.”

I nodded. “I know. That’s why I called the cops to take her away. The villa belongs to us. She shouldn’t have been there.”

At that, he tapped his forehead with his palm and said, “Come here!” He moved to the other side of the bed and signaled me to go over.

Without hesitation, I walked up and lay beside him on his bed.
