Chapter Eleven

“Do you have a death wish?” Hunter growled as he opened the door to find Seth standing on his doorstep. It had been two weeks since he signed the divorce papers, but it had a month since he’d slept well.

Seth held up his hands in supplication. “We need to talk.”

“I have nothing to say to you.”

“Well, I have something to say to you.”

Pushed past his limit, Hunter reared back and let his fist fly until it connected squarely with Seth’s jaw. The man staggered backward a little, shaking his head as if to clear it.

“I deserve that.” Seth admitted.

“Save your ‘I’m sorry’. I’ve heard enough of them from Holly.”

Hunter turned to walk away, but Seth came through the door with him. “I wasn’t about to offer you an apology. I came here to tell you that you are making a big mistake.”

Turning back to the man, Hunter gripped Seth’s shirt and slammed him up against the wall. “The biggest mistake I’ve made was letting you slither into my home.”

Seth swung at Hunter, sending him off balance enough for Seth to break free from his grasp. “You are such an idiot if you think she ever wanted me. She always wanted you.”

“But that didn’t stop you from sleeping with her.”

Guilt lowered the indignation in Seth’s voice. “I never meant to...” Seth shook his head. “Look, I am sorry for what happened. If I had known how everything would have turned out, I would have never...” Seth shook his head again. “The point is, I am not here for your forgiveness.”

“Then why are you here?”

“To beg you to forgive your wife.”

“Did she put you up to this so the two of you can move on together?”

Seth shook his head in confusion. “Holly and I aren’t...” He wiped a hand down his face and whispered, “She is more self-destructive than I thought if she let you believe she had feelings for me.”

“You sleep with her once and now you think you are the expert on my wife.”

“I came here to tell you that you need to learn how to forgive her. My wife died right after she confessed her adultery to me. I didn’t have a chance to forgive her. I didn’t have a chance to undo the angry and hurtful things I said to her.”

Some of the words seeped through to Hunter’s enraged mind, but not enough to keep him from swinging at Seth again. But the man was expecting it, and he dodged the blow.

“She loves you...”

This time Hunter’s swing didn’t miss. “Don’t think you can come over here after ruining my marriage and offer me advice. And we don’t share anything in common.” Leaving the man standing in the hallway, he started to walk away but turned around.

“I take that back - I guess we have my wife in common. But you can have her.”

“All she ever wanted was you to love her for her. She’s had a rough life, and she needed you to love her, not make her feel unworthy and unwanted.
