Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 76

Brielle felt a chill creeping through her bones, her eyes widening in disbelief as she watched the two officers flip through the photos.

The man remained maddeningly unflappable, “She’s my girlfriend. Just a little tiff we’re having. She’s denying me now, but officers, this is just a lovers‘ spat, isn’t it? No need to drag us down to the station, right?”

His face was all smiles, but his eyes were full of malice. Clearly, he had planned this all along.

Brielle pressed her lips together, knowing all too well how domestic disputes tended to be downplayed by the police when the word “relationship” was mentioned. Her face darkened as her gaze fixed on the suit jacket clutched in the man’s hand.

With a sleazy grin, the man said, “Honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like that tonight. Come on over here, and we’ll sort everything out back at home.”

The photos he provided were damningly realistic, and even though Brielle knew they were falsified, she couldn’t immediately prove it otherwise.

The officers looked a bit shaken, and finally, they sighed. “Why can’t you young lovebirds just sit down and talk things out without making a scene and calling us?”
