Chapter 203

"What?" Calen asked, frowning. It was as if Liam's words echoed inside his head. "What did you just-what did you just say?"

"You heard me."

In one quick motion, Calen grabbed Liam by the collar and shoved him back.

"Stop lying," Calen snapped. "You're not married to her. That's not possible. She loves me. How could she marry someone else?"

Liam didn't even raise a hand. He looked down at the grip on his shirt, then met Calen's eyes.

"She married me. Months ago. As her legal husband, I'm the only one with the right to make decisions about her."

Calen's grip tightened. His entire body was tense. "You're bluffing." How could Izzy marry Liam Horvath? No. Izzy loved Calen. He knew it. He saw it!

"I'm not."

Calen's hands shook. His chest rose and fell fast. Then, without warning, he pulled back and swung.

Liam sidestepped the punch, letting it fly past him.

"You should really see someone about that anger of yours," Liam said. "Delusion isn't easy to treat, but there are options."

Calen turned quickly and launched at him again. Another punch missed. Liam moved aside, calm, controlled. And Calen hated it!

"Face it," Liam said. "She left you. She chose me. She's mine now."

Calen's fist hit the back of a chair. It toppled over. He didn't care. He spun again, aiming low, but Liam stepped back and blocked with his arm.

"You're pathetic," Liam said. "You don't even see it. Do you really think she still loves you

now?"

Calen was breathing hard. He didn't stop. Another swing. Another dodge.

"You think money, power, and sneaking behind everyone makes you the better man?" Calen shouted. "She loves me! She always loved me!"

Liam stood still now, unbothered. "Then why did she marry me?"

Calen froze, fists clenched at his sides. His arms trembled, but he didn't move again. He stared at Liam, his chest rising and falling, eyes full of disbelief. He couldn't speak. He couldn't argue.
