Chapter 134 I’ll Never Forgive You
Tess looked him up and down, then let out a cold laugh. “If you can’t even trust me, what’s the point of staying married? Let’s end this. It’s better for both of us.”
To Finn, those words hit differently, like she wasn’t even trying to deny anything.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Holding onto what little control he had left, he gently placed Layla on the couch and stood up fast.
His tall figure cast a shadow over her, and for a second, her vision seemed to blur.
“You think I’m just gonna let this go, Tess?”
Without warning, he grabbed her chin.
Her skin was soft under his fingers. His heartbeat jumped, but it didn’t change the storm brewing on his face.
“You’re free to come and go from Evermount Villa. But if you try to run again, I’ll use everything I’ve got to bring you back, and I won’t guarantee you’ll have any freedom left when I do.”
His tone was flat and cold, with no emotion in it.
But the words hit her like a sharp jab to the head.
She widened her mouth in a daze, stumbling back a step.
Did Finn mean to lock me up?
The thought sent a chill crawling down her spine, making her body tense.
Finn caught the fear in her eyes. It stung, but his face stayed firm.
Tess‘ anger exploded like a fire.
Smack!
Eyes burning, she slapped him hard.
The sound cracked through the room.

The overhead light caught the hard lines of his face, but Tess didn’t see any handsomeness in him anymore–just fury and disgust.
“You can’t lock me up! That’s illegal!”
