Stephanie couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and turned to leave.

But Chris grabbed her wrist again, his head still throbbing from her earlier smack. She didn’t hold back at all–his brain felt like it was rattling around in his skull.

Stephanie glanced at him, raising a brow. “Seriously?”

Right then, Chris’s eyes caught the redness and swelling on her lip…

And the faint glimpse of bruises along the edge of her scarf.

His mind went blank for a second before exploding.

Without thinking, he yanked off her scarf, and there they were–several hickeys, right there for him to see.

His breathing turned ragged. “You and those guys-”

He couldn’t even finish the sentence. He didn’t need to. As a grown man, he knew exactly what those marks meant.

No one knew how badly these past few days had eaten at him. Every time he pictured her with someone else, it felt like he was losing his mind.

He kept telling himself she was just acting out, trying to piss him off.

But now? There was no talking himself out of this.

Stephanie gave him a look like he was a total idiot. “What the hell’s wrong with you?”

‘We were talking about Olivia, and now you’re dragging my boyfriend into this? Who do you think you are?‘

She tried to yank her wrist free, but Chris held on tight.

Annoyed, Stephanie lifted her leg and kicked him hard in the stomach–right as a loud thud echoed from the side.

Chris let out a muffled grunt and instantly loosened his grip on Stephanie’s wrist.

Sebastian stood there, hands in his pockets, eyes ice–cold as they locked onto Chris.

Clutching his stomach, Chris looked up, face twisted in pain.

That kick? It came from both of them.

It felt like his guts were rearranged.

“You… you…” Chris glared at her, gasping for air.

Stephanie ignored him and turned to Sebastian. “What are you doing here?”

“When did your fighting skills get so sloppy?”

Sebastian took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

‘It’s freezing, and she dressed like this?‘
