Countdown to My Divorce

After Yuvan left the house, he got into a sleek black car.

Tyler was already inside. He had his eyes closed, looking like he was just resting, and one leg crossed over the other. With his sharp features and expensive suit, he looked like someone you wouldn’t want to mess with.

“How is she?” he asked, opening his dark eyes and fixing them on the other man.

“She’s taken the medicine. Mr. Lewis is in the room, taking care of her.”

When Tyler heard that, he scoffed. He recalled how William had rushed off earlier with his phone in hand. Most likely, Samantha had called. Again.

“Did you find out where that drug came from?” Tyler asked.

“Yeah. Overseas. Funny thing–Samantha lived there for a while. Makes you wonder…”

Yuvan didn’t finish the thought, but it was clear what he meant.

Tyler lazily raised an eyebrow. “You think Samantha knows Howard?”

“Can’t say for sure. Could just be a weird coincidence. But Howard’s gutsy, I’ll give him that. He doubled the normal dosage. That was reckless. She could’ve died.”

Tyler’s mind flashed back to Rachel’s charming expression, and how she had practically thrown herself onto him. But somehow, she held back in the final moment.

He flicked ash out the window and muttered, “She took that much and still kept her cool. I really underestimated her.” Thinking about the dosage, Yuvan knew that Rachel would’ve acted out in some obvious way.

He glanced over at Tyler, asking, “How’d you hold it together? Should we get you checked out? If you’re suffering from… restraint damage, that could be serious.”
