The moment the words left his mouth. Evan’s phone rang.
He answered immediately, his voice so gentle it practically dripped honey. “Sloane? What’s wrong?”
Sloane’s frightened sob came through the line. “Evan, there are a few people banging on my door
“Don’t be scared. Lock the door. I’ll be right there.”
The front door slammed shut behind him.
I stood alone in the empty living room, shivering.
Then I turned, walked into the study, and printed out a legally binding divorce agreement.
At two o’clock that afternoon, I sat outside the courthouse with the papers in my hands, waiting for him.
An hour passed.
He never showed.
I took out my phone and called Evan.
It rang for a long time before someone finally picked up, but what came through wasn’t his voice.
It was intimate, muffled sounds and a woman’s soft whispers.
“Ah… Evan, slower… you’re hurting me…”
My blood ran cold.
Then Evan’s own ragged breathing followed. “Sloane, relax… sorry I’m late.”
“Weren’t you supposed to go handle the divorce with that woman?” Sloane pouted
“Forget her She can wait. You’re the one I love. Let me satisfy you first
My stomach heaved.
I knew Evan was sick.
I also knew that once he came back to himself he would drop to his knees and beg me
But it didn’t matter anymore
Sick or not once he d done it he was filthy to me

When Evan saw Julian, he let out a mocking laugh.
“Well, look who’s here. Mr. Pierce. Perfect timing. I’m handing this vicious woman back to you.”
Julian ignored the sarcasm. He only looked at me, pain filling his eyes.
Tessa, I’ve regretted it every single day for the past few years. Evan has no idea how to cherish you Let’s get married again. I swear this time I’ll spend the rest of my life treating you right.”
I hadn’t even spoken yet when Evan’s expression changed first.
He turned to his assistant and said. “Take Sloane back to campus. She has class this afternoon. Don’t let her get cold”
As soon as Sloane disappeared from view, Evan suddenly grabbed Julian by the collar.
His fist slammed into Julian’s face.
“You’ve got some nerve. Remarry her? In your dreams!”
Evan’s eyes were bloodshot. “I’m not even really divorced from her yet. She’s mine, alive or dead What makes you think you get to swoop in and take what’s mine?!”
Julian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and punched him back just as hard.
Right there in front of the courthouse, the two of them fought brutally in front of everyone.
Their suits tore.
Every punch drew blood.
Once, Julian had knelt in the pouring rain for me.
Later, Evan had begged me not to leave him while kneeling in a pool of his own blood
I had softened for both of them once.
But now. I wanted neither of them
