Chapter 42

Bang! A loud noise came from outside. I hastily locked the bathroom door and curled into myself. I knew that if Ashton wanted to come in, there was no stopping him.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before he slammed open the door from outside. In a harsh voice, he growled, “What the hell are you doing, Scarlett?”

He was standing just beyond the bathroom door now.

I held the door down, not wanting to hear his voice at all. “I don’t wanna see you, Ashton. Please, please stay away from me!”

I felt disgusted beyond comprehension. If I didn’t hear those sounds, perhaps I could’ve lied to myself even after knowing what happened. But now, it was impossible for me to unhear them. No matter how many times I told myself not to picture him lying naked in bed with Rebecca, I just couldn’t. Everything was playing in my mind on repeat.

“Scarlett, open the door. Whatever it is, we can talk it out!” His icy voice could probably freeze anything that came to close.

I shook my head, still feeling uncomfortable in both my heart and stomach. “There’s nothing to talk about between us. Please just stay away from me!”

“Scarlett!” He said through gritted teeth outside the door, “Don’t test my patience! Okay?”

On the verge of breaking down, I screamed at the door, “I told you to stay away from me! Stay away! Didn’t you hear me?”
