Chapter 120 Total Chaos

12 min leff

It was Caleb who'd been kicked to the ground, but Rebecca was

the one who screamed.

Caleb groaned, rolling over twice on the pavement. "Seriously?"

First a slap. Now a boot to the chest. Just my freaking luck.

"Rebecca, don't be scared. I've got you."

She was abruptly pulled into that man's arms-arms that were trying very hard to be comforting. "It's okay. I'm here now."

But instead of feeling safe, Rebecca went rigid.

She looked up and froze. That face... familiar enough to haunt her nightmares, a face she wanted to avoid at all costs. It was

Richard.

In the mess of everything lately, she'd somehow forgotten he was

out of jail.

She could still hear his voice from the last time they met twisted in fury, shouting that they were finished forever as the cops hauled him away. And now here he was, holding her close like nothing had happened, whispering reassurances?

There was something about him-maybe it was the false concern, maybe just the smell of him-that made her feel dirty. Like she'd stepped in something rotten.

She shoved him away. "Get off me."

Richard's expression darkened. "I sat in a cell for two weeks

and didn't say a damn word. You think you're the only one who suffered? Couples fight, Rebecca. We're married-it's normal. So quit the drama."

She stared at him, baffled.

He isn't just delusional-he's delusional with confidence.

The fact that she'd once loved him? It made her want to smack

her past self across the face.

"Let me be clear," she said coldly. "We're done. Whatever mess we had? It's over. You go your way, and I'll go mine. And if you so much as look at me the wrong way again, I swear I'll press

charges."

People had started to gather, heads turning, phones out.
