Chapter 6
I turned to leave, but Damon grabbed my wrist again,
His expression darkened, patience wearing thin, though he was still trying to keep his temper in check:
“After all this time, you’re still acting like this!”
“You’re about to be a mother and you’re still throwing tantrums!”
“Why can’t you be more mature about this, like Chloe!”
His grip tightened, actually hurting me
I angrily jerked my hand away
He was still the same arrogant asshole with a god complex.
“I don’t do the mistress thing – that’s why I’m not as understanding as her!”
“Let me spell it out for you one more time; we broke up ages ago! Stop harassing mer“]
Damon completely lost it;
“Who said we could break up?“[]
“I never agreed to it, and I never will!”
“You belong to me for life!”
Chloe suddenly reached out to touch me, putting on this fake friendly act.]
“Sweetie, just be good, okay? Don’t make Damon mad.”
The second she touched me, my stomach turned with disgust. I yanked my hand away hard.]
She deliberately made it look like I’d pushed her, falling to the ground with a dramatic “Ow!”
Damon shot me a dirty look and immediately helped Chloe up.]
“I thought you came back because you’d finally come to your senses!“]
“But you’re still the same stubborn bitch
*Fine then – when the baby’s born, Chloe can raise it. Someone with your attitude would make a terrible mother anyway!“]
“Seraphina, I’ve been more than patient with you. Do you realize you almost made me go bankrupt? My company’s in deep shit because of your“]
“I didn’t even hold that against you, but you’re still acting like a psycho! Look me in the eye and tell me you think that’s fairt“]
He went on this whole rant, getting more self–righteous and pissed off with every word.[]
His completely baseless accusations had me seeing red:
“I should look myself in the eye?”]
“I almost made you go bankrupt?”
“You’ve been patient with me?”
“Damon, I used to think you were just a cheating piece of shit! Turns out you’re complete and utter trash!”
The word “trash‘ really hit a nerve- his eyes were literally blazing with rage:]
“Stop making a scene. We’re going home to talk about this!”
Suddenly he scooped me up and started marching toward the door.
I fought against him, hitting his chest: “Put me down! Put me down right now
He was too strong–no matter how much I struggled, he wouldn’t budge.
Thank God Thaddeus came back from his phone call and saw what was happening.
He immediately pulled me out of Damon’s arms.
Damon’s anger instantly disappeared, replaced by this fake business smile as he tried sucking up to Thaddeus:
“Hey there, sorry you had to see that. Just a little spat between me and my wife.”
Thaddeus wrapped his arms around me protectively, his gaze ice cold:[]
“Since when is my wife your wife? I heard Blackwell Industries was struggling, but I didn’t know you’d developed delusions
100.”
“When exactly did you go completely insane, Mr. Blackwell?”
