“Because I don’t like the cage you built for me,” Rebecca said, suddenly feeling fearless now that she saw him. All she felt was pure frustration. “I’m not going to play along with your little game of keeping your wife at home while you fool around with someone else.”

“She’s someone I owe,” Jeffrey explained again.

Rebecca shot back, “Lots of people owe others, but who else pays their debts the way you do?”

Jeffrey said, “I gave her my word.”

“Don’t hide behind promises,” Rebecca snapped, still fuming over how he’d dragged her here without warning. “No sane person would pull something like this.”

Jeffrey’s presence felt colder and heavier, but his eyes were disturbingly calm.

Rebecca could sense it.

He was on the verge of snapping.

‘He brought this all on himself, Rebecca thought bitterly. ‘I gave him a chance, he wasted it–whatever mess comes after, he can clean it up alone.’

Jeffrey looked at her, his tone still calm. “I’m giving you another chance to explain. If you just took Samuel and your mom out to relax, I won’t hold any of this against you. But if that’s not the case–don’t forget the agreement you signed.”

“Jeffrey,” Rebecca’s expression was dead serious–he’d never seen her this stern before.

Jeffrey looked up, his eyes meeting hers.

They stared each other down.

“Maybe you should go to the hospital and get checked out,” Rebecca said, her voice calm and sincere. “Your mental state is seriously off.”

For five years of marriage, Jeffrey had always been impossibly calm around her. No matter how moody or playful she got, he never lost his temper–not even once. He never said a harsh word to her.

He treated her like a delicate porcelain doll, always holding her close and protecting her.

Back then, she hadn’t given it much thought–she just figured he was devoted, the sort of man who truly adored her.

for show. The minute she crossed him, his whole sense of reality seemed warped.
