When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I did not look at his grim expression as I continued, “I know. If it weren’t for this baby, we would have divorced by now. After all, there’s no love between us!”

Raising my eyes to lock with his, I felt a strange sort of calm sweep over me. “I won’t cling on to you. Once the baby is born, I’ll leave voluntarily. I’ve already signed the divorce papers.”

He let out an incredulous laugh, furious beyond measure. “So this is the reason you ran off without your phone or wallet today?” Anger twisted his features into a scowl. “Scarlett, do you seriously think everything I do has to revolve around you? That my responsibility to this marriage is to constantly be by your side every second of the day? What happened with Rebecca is in the past. I already told you I never liked her, let alone loved her. Everything I did back then – looking out for her and taking care of her – was all because of Parker’s dying wish. Do you understand?”

When I kept quiet, he added in an exasperated tone, “You’re already seven months pregnant. How could you just leave without bringing anything with you? This is a city that you’ve only been in for less than two days! Have you ever thought about me or the baby? What if something happened? Would you be able to live with yourself then?”

A bubble of laughter escaped me. “You never loved her?” I stared right into his eyes, snapping, “If you never loved her, why would you sleep with her? Why would you get her pregnant? You risked your life time and again for her! Ashton Fuller, if that isn’t called love, then love doesn’t exist in this world anymore.”

Since he was vehemently against us sleeping apart, all thoughts about sleeping left my mind. I got up and was about to leave the room.

He was quick to stop me. “Where are you going?”

“None of your business!” I shoved him aside and stormed out of the room, fury brewing inside me.

I heard him following me so I increased my pace. When I made my way down the stairs, he growled, “Slow down!”

Upon reaching the first floor, I spotted Molly and several bodyguards blocking the front door. Ashton sped over and grabbed my hand. “This is K City. Where are you going?”

“To die!” I hissed back at him. I was so mad I could not even think straight.
