Chapter 73 Leaves the Army for Kelly

Zev stood

quietly, watching Kelly as she made her decision.

He already knew in his heart that Kelly would never choose him in a situation like this.

If she could abandon him over something important, how could he expect her to care about the small ones?

"Go home," Kelly wrote on the whiteboard, just as Zev had expected.

Zev furrowed his brow, the hurt clear in his eyes.

Kelly looked at him, feeling an unexpected tightness in her chest.

It was rare to see this kind of emotion from Zev-this was only the third time.

The first time had been in Solmaris, when he took a bullet meant for her. His eyes

were filled with complexity as he lay in a pool of his own blood.

The second time was when she called the police to have him arrested.

And now, this time, it was her asking him to leave.

But it was such a small matter.

"Please leave. I need to talk with my wife," Eric interjected, claiming his territory.

Zev let out a bitter laugh, removing his apron and tossing it aside before turning to leave.

He was angry, jealous, and on the verge of losing control, but he also knew he had no right to feel that way.

His primary fault was meeting Kelly too late.

Back in Solmaris, Zev had asked Kelly if she would have fallen for him if they had met before Eric.
