“I knew what yourhelpwould be.”
“I would’ve fixed this problem for you months ago. You wouldn’t be dealing with this jackass.”
I violently shake my head, swiping away tears in the process. “It won’t solve it. You can’t hack into every device he owns. You don’t know where he has them or if he’s printed them off or stored them on a random drive.”
“I’ll find wherever he has them.”
“What if you can’t?”
“I’ll take matters into my own hands. I’ve managed to snag his IP addresses, passwords, and looked through his laptop before trashing it.”
“Youstolehis laptop?”
“Borrowed it,” he corrects.
“So … you’re giving it back?”
“Accidentally broke it while borrowing it.” He shrugs. “I’m clumsy sometimes.”
“I bet.” I sigh heavily. “I appreciate you wanting to help, but all I can do is ride this out until he decides he’s done with me. I thought him dating Margie would help, but she broke up with him again.”
He arches a brow. “He and Margie are dating again?”
I nod.
“Even after she found out he was married?”
“Apparently so. When I texted him the other day, asking for a divorce, she had his phone. I thought maybe if they’d worked things out, he’d let me off the hook. I was wrong.”
Yesterday, James blamed me for their breakup since it was over my text. Annoyingly, he still has me underMyWife, so she doesn’t know it’s me.
I wish I could tell Margie everything.
As the tears come faster, I cover my face with my hands. “God, this is embarrassing.”
Rex plops down next to me on the couch, grabs my shoulders so I’m facing him, and plucks my hands off, one by one. “What’s embarrassing is you not trusting me enough to tell me. You know everything about me. Every secret. You’d for sure know if I got married.”
The hurt is clear on his face.
Rex’s problem isn’t that I made a mistake.
It’s that I kept it from him.
That I didn’t trust him with my secret.
I gulp, my eyes meeting his. “I’m sorry.”
He nods, an inch of forgiveness in his features. “Why haven’t you gone to the university and reported him? You don’t even have to tell them about the pictures. He’d get in trouble for marrying you; I have no doubt about that.”
“You think getting him fired from his job will convince him not to revenge-porn me? It’d give him more incentive because he’d have nothing to lose.”
Rex grabs his laptop from the case. “To work I go then.”
I snatch it from his hands. “You can get in trouble for that. You don’t think I told James you’d do that? He’ll report you, especially if it’s any emails from his university account.”
“You have no idea of the lengths I’d go to protect you.” He snags the laptop back from me. “I’ll risk it all.”
He opens the computer, powers it on, and starts hitting keys.
