Besides, I just scored a win. Sure, it's small, but I'll take it. I stood my ground. Probably for the first time ever with him.
"I want the house," Bailey says, in that mildly pissed-off tone he uses when dealing with unpleasant matters.
"Yeah. Kinda gathered that the day you changed the locks and threw me out," I retort.
He takes out his phone and starts tapping away as he says, "No. I mean, I'mtakingthe house."
"You can't do that. We both put money into it, and we've both been paying off the mortgage. The fair thing to do is to sell it and split the—"
He lifts the phone up, showing me the screen. It's playing a video.
Of me.
Masturbating.
"What the hell is that?" I yank his arm down so that no passersby inadvertently cop an eyeful.
I'm so confused. I've never taken a video of myself like that, but…
Oh, shit.
No.
No nono!
I look up at him and his expression confirms it. The motherfucker secretly recorded me.
A lot of our relationship was long distance so we'd often do video calls and jerk off together. I hadno ideahe was recording me. He never once brought it up, and even if he had, I would've refused.
Well…actually, I probably would have gone along with it, like I did with everything else he wanted, because I'm a fucking idiot who cares more about making other people happy than I do myself.
But that's not the point.
The point is he recorded me in an intimate moment without my knowledge or consent. That has to be illegal, surely?
"We can split everything else, but I'm taking the house. And if you fight me on it, I might accidentally upload this onto a few porn sites. I'm sure plenty of people would get off to a sexy Aussie jerking off, fucking himself with a dildo, and doing whatever other nasty things I made you do for me."
I shake my head. "You asshole," I grit out, my jaw clenched so tight I can barely speak as it hits me that he didn't just record me once—which would've been bad enough—he just admitted to doing it multiple times.
He grins back, like he's totally unaffected. "The quality is amazing, too. Good thing I always had the latest version of the iPhone."
"Shame you weren't smart enough to lock your watch," I begin, then change my mind when I hear what I'm saying. "Actually, scratch that. I'mgratefulI discovered who you are now. Glad I didn’t waste any more time with you."
He doesn't say anything in response, but he makes the weird clucky sound he always makes whenever he thinks he's won.
He claps me on the shoulder as he walks by. "Think carefully about your next move. You can make this easy on yourself, or you can make it hard." He snickers at his own pathetic joke. "But if you fight me on this, I will make your life miserable.Mate." There's nothing but venom as he spits that word out.
I jerk my shoulder to get away from the slimeball. How could I have married this guy?
He walks off, and I heave out a long breath.
I knew Bailey had it in him to be nasty, so I shouldn't be surprised he'd stoop to something so low. Yet I am.
And I'm hurt, too.
It's the shittiest feeling when someone you swore to love and spend the rest of your life with treats you so badly.
What the hell am I going to do now?
