Chapter 14 A Chance Encounter on the Streets

Erin took advantage of Ian’s shock and pushed him away with all her strength. She clutched the collar of her ruined blouse and ran out of the room. Tracy was standing at the entrance of the bedroom with a set of keys in her hands.

Ian got up and felt a pang of regret. Why the fuck did he give Tracy her own set of keys? He brushed past her and rushed after Erin.

He roared at Erin’s disappearing form, “If you don’t return my money you can forget about the divorce!”

Erin had left, and Ian was annoyed just thinking about Tracy! If it weren’t for her today, he would’ve been able to fuck Erin. Just thinking of the fresh hickeys on Erin’s body angered him to no end. He was going to find out who that bastard was!

Ian stomped upstairs.

Tracy apologized when she saw him. “Ian, I’m so sorry, did I disturb you two?”

She despised Erin. How dare this bitch come back and seduce her man!
