I was younger, inexperienced, and allowed him to lead every step in our relationship.
I shove him away when he reaches out and attempts to take my shaking hand in his. “Don’t touch me!”
“Carolina,” he says sharply. “Calm down. Why are you acting so distraught?”
“Why did you tell me you were busier earlier?” I question. “Is it because you were with her?”
“I had a business meeting. It got canceled. I texted you because I wanted to be with the woman I love. The woman who saidI doto spending the rest of her life with me.”
“Liar!” I scream, slapping his hand away when he tries to touch me again. My heart knocks against my chest, breaking into pieces, and it takes everything I have in me not to fall apart in front of him. “Just tell me the truth. That’s all I want from you.”
He shrugs. “There’s nothing to tell.”
“Tell me! Be honest!”
He drags his hand through his hair. “Nothing to tell, so stop your bitching. I’ve had a long day, and the last thing I need is you coming in, acting like a lunatic.” He shakes his head, his face burning. “Here I thought, I was in love with a grown woman, not a dramatic brat.”
“I’d rather be a dramatic brat than a cheater.” I glare at him in disgust. “We’re done.”
He stares at me, sure of himself, and laughs coldly. “Oh, Carolina, that’s where you’re wrong, baby. We’re not done until I say we’re done.”
“No, James, that’s whereyou’rewrong,” I argue with a scowl. “I’ll be filing an annulment first thing in the morning.”
A venomous smile crosses his face. “You do that, and I’ll let everyone on campus and yourpreacher fatherknow what a whore you are.”
I inch forward and smack him across the face.
He winces, rubbing his jaw, but doesn’t back away. “Don’t do that again. That’s your only warning.”
“We’re over.”
He shakes his head. “You’re mine.”
“I was until you cheated on me.” I scoff. “I’m sure she’s not the only one you’ve been with either. I don’t even want to know how many women you’ve screwed behind my back.”
“Nah, she’s the only one, and it’s your fault it happened.”
Startled, I stumble back a step. “Excuse me?”
“You ditched me for your little high school fuck boy. I saw Margie at the coffee shop. I didn’t know she was your roommate until we fucked and she talked about you.”
“Yet you kept screwing her,” I seethe.
He shrugs. “She was good in bed.”
I move forward to smack him again, but he catches my wrist, tightly gripping it so I’m unable to pull away.
“I told you not to do that again,” he growls out.
I’m not strong enough to break his hold. “Itold youI want a divorce. Go be with someone else.”
He snorts. “I don’t want someone else.”
I fight him as he pulls me into his living room and shoves me onto his couch. As soon as my butt hits the cushions, I bounce up to leave, but he shoves me back down.
“Please stop,” I whimper. “Let me leave.”
This is a stranger to me—not the James I fell in love with.
