“Seeed,” Shay says as her lawyers follow her through the house They settle at the dining rooan, rin as he shakes my hand

“Nice to see you again, Julian Sorry it wasn’t under better circumstances” His voice is lohisper, so Shay doesn’t hear him “If she makes any more demands, we’ll shoot her down”

I nod, but I don’t feel as confident as he see bitch, but she’s a clever one

Morgan and I head for the table, I settle at the head, with Morgan beside me, and Shay with both her lawyers on the opposite end It’s not the biggest of tables, but it offers space between us I don’t ever want to be near her again

“What is this about?”

“I want money, Julian And since we’re married, I’d like to take the opportunity to reernail on the smooth wooden top, and I recall the day she slapped ht, I was drunk, and when she turned around and her hand crashed against my face, I felt the sharp talon cut into my skin

I never once hurt her; I never retaliated because I believed I was the bastard, and she was putting up withher out of my life

“How n the legal paperwork and get out of my life?”

“Does your confidence bri out of your house earlier?” Shay’s mention of Nea makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end My body tenses when I realize she saw the girl who’s taken over my life And my heart

“This has nothing to do with anyone else This is between you andexcuses and stop dancing around the subject I want you gone I no longer want to have anything to do with you or that bullshit of an excuse you gave n in the first place We’re done”

“And you know, as ive you what you want, I feel it’s necessary for et a lotfor”

My hands fist under the table The tension in hten further, and the need to break soet this done and see her out ofto take longer than I thought
