Divorced

“You’re asking me? What do you think you’re doing?”

Aaron stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at Selena from the edge of the bed.

When he had thrown her onto the bed, her jacket had slipped off her shoulders, revealing the thin straps of her slip dress. Her pale skin was marked with small, reddish blooms.

Aaron’s eyes darkened as he saw the marks he had left on her the previous night. His throat felt dry, and an inexplicable heat spread through his body.

For a moment, he felt parched.

Selena knelt on the bed, straightening up, her petite frame exuding a surprising intensity. “I’m trying to get Aveline and Lucas to divorce! Since marrying him, Aveline has been completely ruined! Are you blind? Can’t you see it?”

Aaron sneered. “Why do you care? Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Couples fight but make up later‘? Just because they’re having problems now doesn’t mean it’ll last. What will you do then?”

Pointing at her, he continued, “Use your brain for once and stop meddling in things that don’t concern you, okay?”

“Who are you calling brainless?” Selena snapped, raising her hand to hit him.

But Aaron easily caught her slender wrist. Her delicate, pale skin looked like it might break if he squeezed too hard.

“What? You want to hit me?” Aaron raised an eyebrow at her.

“Let go of me!”

Selena struggled, and her dress slipped further, exposing her other shoulder. The sight of her bare shoulders and collarbone, adorned with the marks from the previous night, revealed the extent of their passion.

Aaron had intended to throw more barbs at her, but seeing the evidence of their night together, he suddenly felt guilty and averted his eyes, coughing lightly.

“I suggest you behave. If you piss off Lucas, I won’t stop him from dealing with you.”

He released her wrist and stepped back.

Selena noticed his reaction, glanced down at her own body, and sneered. “Feeling guilty because you realize how much of a beast you are?”

Aaron was speechless.

His face darkened in response.

Selena adjusted her clothes and got off the bed, still not backing down. “I’ll do whatever I want. Who are you to boss me around? Have you no manners?”

With that, she pushed him aside and headed for the door.

Aaron’s temper flared!

He grabbed her wrist and forced her back onto the bed, this time pinning her down so she couldn’t get up.

“Who am I? I’m the guy who slept with you. Is that a good enough reason?” Aaron nearly growled through gritted teeth.

He was furious.

But even he didn’t know why he was so angry.

Maybe it was because after what happened last night, she still treated him like an enemy.

Or maybe it was because she seemed completely unaffected by the whole thing, as if it was just a random event, without expecting him to take any responsibility.

But this was exactly what he had wanted.

The conflict in his mind left him frustrated. Looking at her face only made him angrier, fueling his desire

to act.

Selena glared at him. “Aaron, what are you doing? Get off me!”
