Chapter 184- See You In Hell.
DECLAN'S POV
"Do whatever you want to me," David said suddenly, his voice shaking like a loose window in a storm. "But please… don't touch my wife. Don't hurt her. I was the one who wronged you. Hurt me. Not her. Don't transfer your anger to someone innocent."
I stared at him for a long second… and then I laughed.
Loud. Deep. Mocking.
He sounded so serious. So dramatic. Like a man playing the part of a noble husband in a cheap movie. I laughed until my chest hurt.
"Innocent?" I asked, still grinning. "That word again. Innocent."
I took a slow step forward and looked him right in the eye.
"When you stole from my son's mother," I began coldly, "when you took her last savings and insulted her dignity, did you remember she was innocent?"
"When you called her names… when you turned your back after using her like she was nothing but a tool… did you stop and say, 'Wait, this woman did nothing wrong?'"
I didn't let him speak. I didn't need him to.
