When There Is Nothing Left But Love

She pursed her lips as her features contorted with rancor. The tone in which she spoke to me was especially uncongenial. “I thought you hated Ash? Why are you back here?”

Amusement filled me as I countered, “No matter how much I hate him, we’re still a legally married couple. Besides, I own half the rights to this house. If I don’t come back, wouldn’t that be an act of surrender?”

She curled her lips in disdain. “Oh, quit the snarky act. I’m not interested in fighting with you over money.”

I raised my brows. “I find that hard to believe. After all, you’ve even set your sights on my husband.”

“Pfft!” I failed to stifle my laughter and ended up attracting their gazes to me.

Ashton pursed his lips as he ordered, “It’s cold. Go in and put on a coat.”

Rebecca shot daggers at me and gnashed her teeth in anger.
