Chapter 101

“What? Have you lost the ability to speak, wife?” The ice in his voice caused a shiver to travel up and down my spine. “Why is he here, Adelaide? Surely you didn’t do this just to piss me off did you?”

“Damon, listen. Let me explain.”

“Explain what? How snakey you were?”

“Look man, she was only-”

“You don’t get to speak so shut up.” Damon snapped at Gabriel. He looked like he was ready to jump him.

I had to place myself in between the two of them to keep them separated. Damon was hot with fury and I didn’t want Gabriel getting worked up too. I turned to Gabriel and pointed to the hall, “Second door to your left. That’s where your

room is.”

“Are you serious right now, Adelaide?” My husband was growing angrier by the second. “You’ll still have him in my house which I paid for? Did I step into some kind of alternate reality or something because this is just fucking unbelievable?” “Damon.” I turned to face him. “I get that you’re angry but this isn’t how you speak to someone.”

“Are you defending him right now? I’m your husband.”

“I know that but you can’t be harsh with him. He is a guest in our home. I invited him.”

“My home.” he snapped. “It’s my millions that have allowed you to live all plush and comfortable right now.”

I winced at his harshness. He got mean whenever he was angry and this was something that we would talk about later. But as for now, I needed to make sure that this fire didn’t get any bigger than it already was.

“Can we go into the kitchen to talk about this, please?”

“Oh, now you want to talk? You should have thought of that before inviting him into my home. You bit my head off when I had Angela here and now you brought this man here like it means absolutely nothing when you know my history with him.”
