Right after I slap Carmella, the palm of my hand stings but right now, I just don’t care.

My eyes are blazing with anger and fixed on her as she touches her cheek while facing the other side. At this moment, I have no regrets.

“Y–yeah?” she says, her tone a little shaky.

“Go outside and pick up that bear.”

I instantly look back at him, my eyes widening a little at his instruction for her. I even hold my breath, wondering if I’ve just heard him correctly.

“Because that shit doesn’t belong to me.”

“But who threw it outside?”

“But-”

“Babe, I’m not going to repeat myself. Once you have it, bring it back here.”

“This is bullshit! She fucking slapped me and you’ll just let it go?
