Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Chapter 155

Chapter 155: The End Of Us

Clairessa's POV

Gabriel's jaw tightened, and his eyes flashed with an emotion I couldn't quite

name.

He turned to Tina, who had slipped on a robe, and gave her a look that sent a chill

through me. "Wait for me outside."

Of course, she obeyed like a loyal little pet, slamming the door behind her and

locking us both in.

He had the nerve the audacity to ask her to wait. Like I was the one

interrupting something special. Like I was the problem.

He turned back to me slowly, his expression darkening into something harder,

more detached. "Clairessa, you've taken it too fucking far," he warned, then took a

slow breath, his chest rising and falling as he tried to regulate himself.

He tried to play it calm, but it was too late for that. "If you can't be reasonable,

maybe we should-"

"So now you're kicking me out?" I exploded, my chest heaving. "Because I caught

you with your ex? The one you swore you were done with?"

My throat tightened, and the tears I'd been holding back finally spilled over. "You

lied. You said she meant nothing to you. But clearly, she's still yours."

"She's not mine," Gabriel said through clenched teeth, dragging a hand down his

face, weariness etched into every line.

"I drank too much. I can't remember everything from last night. I'm just trying to

figure it out. But I can't think straight with you yelling-"

"And by the way," he added, his voice quieter now, "I would never kick you out. I'm

Just asking you to calm down. Let's talk-really talk without all this shouting.

Without saying things we'll regret in the end."

I laughed sarcastically. "Now you're worried about us hurting each other? Or

maybe what you really care about is your precious ego-the one that can't handle

the truth of who you really are."

His eyes narrowed as he paced slightly. "I refuse to argue with you when you're

like this. You're clearly emotional, and there's no reasoning with you right now."

That flipped a switch inside me.

A surge of molten fury rose from deep within. "So now I'm just the emotional

woman, right?" My voice rose with each word. "You're caught half-naked with

someone else, and I'm the one being irrational?"
