cold expression.
“Natalie is my wife!” he added.
“And who the hell are you?” Scott snapped. He turned around with a look
of
fury in his
eyes.
Ken sneered. “Not for much longer. A jerk like you doesn’t deserve forgiveness.”
Scott’s gaze flicked back and forth between me and Ken, then a smirk crept across his face.
“Natalie, are you divorcing me because of this guy?”
“Hah.”
Rage surged through me.
“You’re pathetic!
“He’s my brother! You always twist everything into something filthy to make yourself feel better, don’t you?”
Ken stepped in front of me and shielded me.
“Natalie, let’s go. Don’t waste another second on this disgusting man,
Scott trembled with rage. He looked like he was ready to lunge at us.
”
I felt sick to my stomach. My fingers curled into fists. “That’s enough, Scott. How long do you plan to keep this charade going?
“Quit pretending to be heartbroken. It’s nauseating. There’s nothing left to say between us.”
“Do you really have to be this cold? I loved you so much!” Scott shouted.
He sounded devastated. His eyes filled with tears
“I said I was wrong! I’ll never make the same mistake again! Why can’t you just forgive me?”
I watched his pathetic display and remained completely unmoved.

Perhaps I’d fallen for this act of devotion once upon a time, but now, all I felt was disgust.
My tone was calm but firm.
“The mistake you made destroyed my entire life.
“You think a simple ‘I’m sorry‘ is enough to erase all of that? Do you really think that’s possible?
“You don’t even understand what love is. What you call love is just possession. It’s selfishness. It’s you feeding your own twisted needs.”
He froze as if I’d slapped him across the face. He showed a defeated expression, and for once, he had nothing to say.
