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.

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.”
