He gasps when I tighten my hold on his neck, and it takes everything I have not to keep choking him when his face starts turning purple.
I came here to scare him.
Not to kill him.
Even though I thought of dozens of ways I wanted to kill him on the drive here.
He bends at the waist when I release, his hands resting on his knees as he inhales deep breaths, nearly choking on them when I pull away.
“Sign the divorce papers when they’re delivered to you,” I demand, wiping my hands down my pants and turning to leave.
He snorts coldly. “You don’t think there’s more where that came from?” A smug smile takes over his face. “I have plenty of pictures of her.” He tips his head toward the phone. “You might’ve broken my phone, but I still have themeverywhere.”
I circle his desk and snatch his iPad from it.
It breaks when I stomp on it next.
“Two devices down,” he says. “So many moreto go. I have them savedeverywhere,waiting for Carolina to make the wrong move. If she decides to leave me for you, there will be repercussions. She belongs with me—someone mature—not a little video game–playing college kid. I might’ve made a few mistakes with Carolina, but she’s mine.”
“I don’t know if Carolina has told you what I’m capable of. I will not only kick your ass, but I’ll also hack into everything with your name on it—phones, computers, emails, your fucking preschool records if I have to. Every-motherfucking-thing.”
“You don’t think Carolina has told me how you can hack into accounts?” He rubs at his red throat. “Which, by the way, is illegal, and I’d definitely turn you in for whatever you did.”
“Good luck proving it. You might be a sloppy motherfucker, but let me promise you, I’m not.” Pointing at him, I narrow my eyes. “Delete every picture and leave her the fuck alone. Find another student to bang since they seem to be your type, you fucking creep.”
“Or what?”
“Like I said, I’ll search through everything you own.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Nope. Only telling you what I’ll do. I won’t stop digging into every move you make until you leave her alone.”
“Fuck you,” he spits.
“Prepare for me to know your every secret, Professor.” I grab his briefcase, slide out the laptop inside, and hold it up. “I’ll smash this up as soon as I’m finished with it.”

Carolina
Rex textedme two hours ago, asking if he could stop by the loft.
Considering all the text messages I’ve received, I have a hunch I know what him coming over means. We’ve hardly spoken since this morning, and even then, there was an uncomfortable silence as I got ready for work at his apartment.
Maybe he needs space to decide if he still wants to date me after he found out about James.
Stupid—that’s what I was for thinking I could hide my marriage from him. Then again, I didn’t expect Rex to open up his heart to me like he has and take the leap with me I’d wanted for years.
I never told Rex because I thought being with him wasn’t an option. All this time, I’ve waited for us, only to hit a roadblock—a block I have no idea when it’ll open.
I’ve shifted in twenty-five different positions on the couch trying to get comfortable. My head throbs, my heart ready to dive out of my chest.
Honestly, I’d have no problem with that.
I’d hand it over to Rex—a promise that, no matter what, he has it.
Not James.
