When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton stared at me wordlessly. Holding back his anger, he demanded. “Tell me. What should I do? Huh?”

His reaction upset me. “You don’t have to do anything to please me. Do whatever you want. If you want to take care of Rebecca, go ahead.”

“Ha!” He looked down and scoffed. Straightening his back, he whipped out his cigarettes. “Should I feel lucky for having such a magnanimous and understanding wife?”

His voice was full of contempt and mockery.

I replied lightly, “Mr. Fuller, you’re welcome. I’m just doing my job.”

Yes. I was saying everything out of fury.

He puffed on his cigarette and asked sternly, “Are we seriously arguing now?”

“Arguing? Are we arguing now?”

Ashton suddenly snickered and put out his cigarette. “When will you stop talking that way?”

“What do you mean? I’m just going along with you,” I responded with a chuckle.

He inhaled sharply to control his anger. “Going along with me? That’s just your presumption. Just be honest with me instead of hurting each other with mean words. We’re a couple, not rivals. There’s no need to argue to decide who’s right and who’s wrong every time. Do you understand, Scarlett?”

After a moment, I got off the car and picked up a brick by the flower bed. Handing the brick to him, I said, “Okay. I want you to beat the disgusting mother and daughter duo up. Tell them I’m no pushover. Also, tell Rebecca she has no right to take my husband away from me!”

I gestured at the brick. “So? Will
