“If that’s what you think, what am | gonna say? It's not like you remain single for me,” | snapped, deliberately
trying to provoke him further.
Edward glared at me, his eyes wide, his breaths coming in ragged bursts.
After a moment, he growled, “No wonder you've turned so old to every bit of goodwill I've shown you. You've
found someone better, haven't you?
“I thought Maddie was exaggerating, but now | see you for who you are, Taylor. | didn’t know you were such a
disgraceful gold digger!!
This man could fabricate any narrative to justify his twisted beliefs, couldn't he?
| laughed bitterly at his accusation.
“Seriously? An asshole who betrayed the vows of our civil union, our years-long relationship, and the values you
claimed to hold sacred-someone who even backstabbed the person who saved his life-is lecturingabout

“Anyone else in the world could callnames, but you? You have no right! Hell, | was the one who kept you

His face changed, a fleeting look of shock breaking through his smug expression. My words had hit their mark

My colleagues flinched at my outburst, their eyes darting toward my office.
Edward froze, stunned by my reaction. He had never seenlose my temper like this.
An oppressive silence descended over the room. | glared at him with pure disdain, my intent clear.
He swallowed hard before speaking again, his voice subdued. “I'm sorry, Tay. | misspoke. | was jealous, okay? |
can’t stand seeing other men being nice to you. That's why | said all that.”
His words grated onlike nails on a chalkboard.

| stiffened, my senses on high alert.
“Maddie's condition has worsened,” he revealed, his tone almost pleading.
“The doctor said it’s deteriorating faster than expected. That bracelet has becher lifeline. She clings to it,
Tay. “I was hoping you could lend it tofor a few days, just to comfort her. I'll pay you 7,000,000 dollars in

with disbelief.
