He Said Cheating Was a habit, Fine I Swapped Grooms Chapter 07
Thomas’s lips trembled, his bloodshot eyes wild with fury.Â
“Amy, who is he? Why is he in his sleepwear inside your apartment!”Â
I slipped my arm naturally around Lance’s waist. “As you canÂ
see, he’s my boyfriend.”Â
Thomas lunged toward me like like a madman. Before heÂ
could reach me, I raised the pepper spray and pressed theÂ
nozzle directly in his face.Â
“Ah!” He doubled over, blinded by the burn, his face swelling instantly.Â
His desperate eyes stared at me through tears streamingÂ
from his swollen lids. “Amelia, how could you do this to me…”Â
I already told you I have a boyfriend. You lunged at me. That was self–defense!”Â
“We’re still legally married!” He roared. “You’re my wife. HowÂ
can you live with another man!”Â
I let out a laugh. “You dare say that? You cheated behind myÂ
back for three months. What right do you have to judge me?Â
Your mistress was the very woman who bullied me for years. IÂ
merely started seeing someone while my divorce lawsuit isÂ
pending. I’m free to do as I please.”Â
A deathly hush fell over the room.Â
His lips trembled. He struggled to speak. “I was wrong. I neverÂ
should have cheated. Come home with me. I’ll even forgiveÂ
you for this. Can we try again?”Â
“No.” Lance cut in, lacing his fingers through mine. “AmeliaÂ
and I are perfectly matched, body and soul. We’re onlyÂ
waiting for you to step aside.”Â
“You son of a-” Thomas raised his fist, ready to strike.Â
One cold glance from me froze him mid–motion.Â
“Thomas, leave right now or I’ll call the police. SecurityÂ
cameras cover this apartment. That footage will strengthen my divorce case.”Â
Thomas dared not take another step forward.Â
After a long pause, he turned to go, throwing one last lineÂ
over his shoulder. “Amy, I won’t give up.”Â
Once the door clicked shut, I rolled my eyes.Â
Whether he gave up or not made no difference to me. I feltÂ
absolutely nothing for him anymore–not even hatred.Â
The arm around my waist tightened. Lance frowned andÂ
murmured. “You’re still looking at him. The nuisance is gone.Â
Why don’t we head back to the bedroom and make up for lost time?”Â
I smiled, looping my arms around his neck, and let him carryÂ
me toward the room.Â
I’d originally hired Lance as my live–in personal assistant-Â
young, handsome, and charming.Â
He’d handed me his resume at a job fair, and the very firstÂ
time I laid eyes on him, something sparked in me.Â
Pure physical attraction.Â
I kept my feelings hidden, until one night we both drank tooÂ
much and ended up in bed together naturally.Â
Only then did I realize how powerfully someone’s body could consume me.Â
To my relief, he felt the same way—eager and insatiable.Â
In that moment, I finally understood the pull Thomas had described.Â
Physical longing truly is impossible to deny.Â
