Fuck that.
Maddox nods, accepting her lies. My lungs squeeze as he walks past me. “I’m gonna crash,” he mutters, going to his bedroom and closing the door behind him.
Sienna lets out a sigh of relief, her breath leaving her throat in a loud whoosh. Her gaze sweeps over my body again, lingering longer over my bare chest. She licks her lips. “Come back with me to my hotel,” she demands suggestively. “You know you want to.”
I’d rather fucking drown.
Sienna reaches toward me again, her hand moving to my shoulders. She pushes her tits against my chest, her red lips pouting. “Colton,” she croons again, “now, now. I know you’re not shy. We’re so good together. Why ruin the fun?”
Suddenly she’s pulled away from me and all I hear is her screech of outrage. I stumble back, my eyes widening at the sight of Maddox dragging Sienna by the hair. “I should have fucking known,” he snarls. I forget how to breathe.
He pulls her up, twisting her hair around his wrist until her toes are hanging off the floor, and he shakes her like she’s a broken doll “You hideous bitch.”
My body grows cold.
My heart stammers.
Breathe, you sad-fuck.
“Colton,” she shrieks, flailing helplessly. “He’s hurting me! Let go of my hair, Maddox!”
“Nah, I have zero tolerance for bitches like you. You’re done, Sienna.” He brings his face closer to her, staring down at her with pure menace in his eyes. “If I ever see you around here again, I will ruin you. Don’t think I won’t do it because you’re Henry’s wife. I will ruin you and end your fucking existence. If it will be as if you never existed. Do you understand me?” he spits, his body tense with barely concealed rage.
“How dare you?” she cries out, her face twisting with dread.
“Without Henry, you’re nothing, you pathetic bitch. And guess what? He doesn’t give a shit about you. If you bring a scandal to his door, he’ll be the first person to kick your ugly ass to the curb. You should be terrified.”
Sienna makes a choked sound in the back of her throat. Her face pales, and she looks utterly horrified. Her fear is palpable, her body shaking and her eyes panic-stricken.
The bitterness and the rage that reside in me fester under my flesh, digging themselves into my bones and melding into every particle of my existence.
She’s caught.
Her lies have been unveiled.
My brain shuts down.
Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.
He continues to drag her by the hair, tossing her out of our shared apartment. “You’re done here. Don’t fucking try me or I will show you what a Coulter is capable of. That’s not a threat, Sienna. It’s a goddamn promise. Make sure I never see your face again.”
Maddox slams the door, spinning on his feet to face me, as the floor sways underneath me. My legs give out, all the strength dissipating from my body as I slump down on the couch.
What…just happened?
He rakes his fingers through his messy blond hair, pacing back and forth in front of me. “How long has this been going on?”
I blink.
There’s a dull pain in my sternum. My stomach revolts, and I suddenly feel sick.
“Since after the accident,” I tell him, my tone emotionless.
“Jesus Christ. You were fifteen.” His fists clench at his sides. “I knew something changed after the accident; you were different. I just never understood why. I thought it was because you were feeling guilty about Cole. But she’s the reason you’re like this…so angry all the time. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Tell him? I blink again. “Why would I do that?”
“She took advantage of y—”
