Chapter Six

Jamison

I listen as the smug bastard insults her for something that she has no control over. When I see the tears welling in her perfect blue eyes, I realize this is the asshole who hurt her so bad she has no confidence in herself. I’ve had enough of Garret’s narcissism, so I drag him out the door. I look back at the closing door and see Veronica burst into tears. A new wave of anger rushes through me at the thought of my girl crying over something this idiot said to her.

“You’re a real piece of shit, you know that?” I utter to Garret once we’re outside.

“What the hell are you talking about? You don’t know me – you have no idea what kind of person I am. All you know about me is what that fat bitch in there has told you,” he replies heatedly.

My fist meets his face before another word comes out of his disgusting mouth. Blood drips from his lip as I bust it wide open.

“She hasn’t told me anything about you, but I know enough about her to know that she loved you with everything she had, and you took advantage of that love. You took her for granted and, judging by your public display, you made her feel like shit for not being able to carry a child. That, sir, makes you a steaming pile of dog shit,” I say as I lay into his face again.

I feel the anger getting stronger inside me with every punch. Something crunches under my fist, and I am sure I have broken his jaw. I hear Amy’s screams, pleading for me to stop. I know I should before I kill him, but the boiling rage I feel keeps me from doing it. I hear Veronica’s sweet voice as she tells me to stop and asks me to take her home.

That’s only when I stop and let the smug son of a bitch slide to the pavement as his woman scurries to help him. I open the truck door for Veronica and guide her inside before shutting the door. She says nothing as we leave the parking lot, and I watch her from the corner of my eye to make sure she is calm. I know that she isn’t okay inside, and I want to hold her until her pain stops. Knowing what I now know, though, that will never happen for her. I stop at a red light and look at her. I can tell she is trying hard to hold herself together. One lone tear streaks down her face, and I gently run my finger on her cheek to wipe it away.

“Which way to your apartment building, sugar?” I ask softly.

Without saying a word, Veronica points to the left, and I make the turn. I can see the building and head for it. I pull into the attached parking garage and hurry around to open the door for her. She looks at me and smiles briefly before letting the sadness overwhelm her again.
