Chapter 79 Hadley
Deserves Far Better
But Hadley had been his woman, his cherished one.
Never in his wildest dreams would Eric lay a hand on a woman–least of all her.
Yet the inferno raging within his chest spiraled beyond restraint. With a ragged breath, he drew his fist upward and sent it hurtling downward with raw force.
Hadley, gripped by dread, clamped her eyes shut, bracing for the inevitable sting.
A thunderous thud echoed in the air–but the anticipated pain never arrived.
Hesitantly, she peered through her lashes. Eric’s fist had collided with the back of the seat, mere inches from her. What in the world… was he doing?
“Get out.” Eric’s voice sliced through the tension, icy and unyielding. “Now!”
“Oh–alright!” Hadley stammered, her trembling fingers fumbling for the door handle. She stumbled out of the car in a frantic rush, nearly losing her footing in her haste to escape.
Eric remained seated, his gaze fixed on her fleeting silhouette as it faded into the distance. A heavy silence stretched on before he pinched the bridge of his nose, a hiss of frustration escaping through his gritted teeth.
Damn it! His leniency had let her slip away again.
Did she truly believe she could keep evading him forever?
Come Sunday morning, Eric stirred from slumber later than his custom. As he descended the grand staircase, faint murmurs of conversation drifted from the living room.
He didn’t make a beeline for the parlor directly. Instead, he pivoted toward Kira, the trusted housekeeper, curiosity tugging at his tone. “Who has paid us a visit?”
“It’s Mr. Moran,” Kira replied with a warm smile, setting down Eric’s morning repast. “Your breakfast, sir.”
“Thank you,” Eric murmured, lifting the coffee to his lips for a tentative sip before placing it back down as he rose to his feet.
What business brought Denver here so early?
“Sir, won’t you eat?” Kira called after Eric, concern threading her tone.
“In a minute,” Eric replied over his shoulder, already striding toward the living room.
