with every breath I took as Rhys remained completely composed as he addressed her.
    " I ' m happy and it kills you , " he said smoothly, his voice unaffected . " I want her and you know it and i t ' s fucking killing you . "
    " You always did think a little too much of my need for you, Rhys . " She waved him off, though her statement was far from convincing, her want for him evident in the way she regarded him.
    " Really, is that why you made a house call for my cock just a few short weeks ago ? " He nodded toward Alex and Chris . " I ' m sure they would be interested to know their mistress is n ' t satisfied . " Chris stiffened, his face contorted in anger while Alex remained impassive and unimpressed. Rhys took a step toward Sandra and she cringed slightly as he addressed her with nothing short of hatred . " When I walk out the door with my future in my hand, I will never see you again. I ' m done with this place, with you, for good. If you come anywhere near me, Violet, or my son, I will ruin you . " He leaned in closer so only the threat was heard by the three of us . " I will hurt you and you know I know just how to do it . "
    Rhys took my arm in an attempt to pull me out of the club. I passed her, but I had to get my digs in. I gripped the back of her head, digging my nails in her scalp as I whispered in her ear . " Your inability to keep your hands off what did n ' t belong to you led me straight to the arms of the man you wanted most. Your son will call me mother while the man you want fucks me, loves me, and worships my body. Keep Alex. We both know it was n ' t really a fair trade, was it, Sandra? Enjoy the short end of the stick . " I pulled back, inches from her face to see her shocked expression. She did n ' t think I had it in me, and that made two of us.
    I saw the humorous light in her eyes die as she glared at me and Rhys as he pulled me out of the bar.
    As soon as the cold air hit us, I pulled away from Rhys, furious with the nigh t ' s events . " I ' m a CLICHÉ ! " I threw my hands up in the air . " Jilted wife finds out that her husband is gay ! "
    " Ex-husband , " Rhys added.
    " Seriously, why the hell could n ' t he have told me? And she does n ' t even know that the joke is on her. He loves Chris. I mean, she has to have figured it out by now, he ca n ' t love her . " I racked my brain for answers that were n ' t coming. I saw Rhy s ' s face harden as he ran his hands through his hair. His next words cut me.
    " Why the fuck do you care who he loves ? " he said harshly, his sudden anger with me stopping me from retrieving my keys from my pocket.
    I looked back at the bar and then to him, incredulous . " N o … no! You do n ' t get to pull this shit on me! Are you kidding me right now? I was with that man for years and had no clue , " I snapped, lifting my finger in warning.
    " What shit am I pulling, Violet!? You seem obsessed with the man and what he feels. Why do n ' t you go ask him? H e ' s right inside that door ! " Rhys turned away from me and began walking toward his car.
    " Rhys, wait , " I said, my voice shaking in anger . " What about you, huh ? " I was freezing and all the adrenaline shooting through me from the last ten minutes was taking its toll . " What about you and your fucking obsessions? How could you have picked her ? " My anger boiled over again and I was helpless to stop it. I walked toward him, refusing to let him leave. When he did n ' t answer, I pushed his back in an attempt to get him to turn around as he reached his sedan . " You picked her and she ruined both our lives! How could you ever have been involved with a woman like that? What does that say about you ? "
    Rhys whirled on me then, his eyes filled with hurt . " Who the fuck areyou to judge me ? "
    " I ' m not judging you, Rhys. I just find it a little hard to believe that you would mix yourself up with a woman like that for any reason an d — "
    " I ' m not perfect and I wo n ' t pretend to be for you. That in there
