“Shannon,” his voice came through the haze, calm like nothing happened. “How many men did she bring to mess with you?”
“…Ten,” she whispered.
“Good,” he said coldly. “Then I’ll make it worse.” My heart dropped.
“Bring in a hundred of the filthiest guys you can find,” he ordered. “And give her something to make it more fun.”
He stepped forward and kicked my chin hard. “You think you can touch my wife and walk away? I’ll fucking ruin you.”
The mask fell off.
“Felix…!” I forced the sound out, everything breaking inside me. “If you knew it was me… would you regret it?”
But it didn’t come out right, just broken sounds and choking sobs. He didn’t even look. He had already turned away, holding Shannon’s hand.
“Don’t look,” he told her gently. “It’s disgusting. I’ll stay with you the next few days, alright?”
Their voices faded and the door closed. Someone came in and untied me just enough to shove a pill into my mouth. I tried to resist but couldn’t. My body started heating up almost immediately, too fast, too much. My chest tightened and my skin felt like it was burning.
