Her face paled a little.“Me?What have I done?”
Fumbling with my phone, I blindly swiped the screen and bit back disgust as I held it out to her. If I thought she looked light-headed beforehand, now she appeared about to flake.
“What are these?” she whispered in a trembling voice that tried to strum my heart strings.
I folded my arms across my chest to protect me from those rogue feelings.
“You tell me. It is, after all,yourvagina being fucked.”
“Where did you get these?” she stammered.
A despising snort left my nose. “Does it really matter? When was this? Andwho?”
“It was nothing.”
“Don’t bullshit me, Sadie!” I roared, then ran a hand over my head. “Today of all days, just don’t fucking bullshit me.”
Today had been royally fucking fantastic. First Ward, now this…
Her whisper had me seeing red. “While you were away, last deployment. It was only once...”
Instead of yelling until my voice cracked, my tone became chillingly void of emotion. “Once is still too many. Pack your things. You are to begoneby the time I get back.”
“Dante, please, it was a mistake. Please don’t! It meant nothing.”
Her desperate pleas fell on my deaf ears as I shrugged off her frenzied attempts to grab me. Now that my trust in her was broken, it would never be fixed. No amount of grovelling and tears would change my mind. It was made up.
“It meant nothing?” I asked, raising my brows andalmostsmirking through my anger.“Nothing?Then what the fuck didwemean if you chose to cheat while I was overseas fucking fighting for our country!”
Her mouth worked open and closed, and her distraught hazel eyes begged me. I felt the silence imploring deep in my heart. Maybe shedidmean more to me than I realized.
Fuck that. She’d just screwed me over. Screwedusover.
I turned my back and left Sadie screaming behind me. Stopping at the threshold of the front door, I looked back and scowled down at where she knelt crying into her hands.
“You’ve got two hours. If you’re not gone by then, I’m calling the MPs to have you removed.”
With that, I left my home—and relationship status—behind me and headed back to the bar.
As soon as I pushed through the thick wooden doors, Forrest’s attention cut from Pittsy to me. The blood drained from his face.
“Ohfuck. What’s happened?”
I stormed over to them, radiating anger so intense my entire body shook. “Where is he?”
“Who?” Chen asked.
“Ward,” I snapped.
Forrest motioned toward the lounge bar off to the side of the main bar area, where the leather couches and TV were.
“He’s through there. What’s going on, Lote?”
I numbly unlocked my phone and tossed it on the table.“Thisis what’s going on.”
I stalked toward the lounge bar leaving curses and exclamations in my wake. It didn’t take a scientist to figure out what went down at home, and my brothers were pretty fucking good at putting two and two together.
With Ward set in my sights, I rounded the couch and stood between him and the TV.
