Chapter Eighteen

THE KITCHEN

He grabs my arm.

“You think some punk kid is gonna take care of you, Lilla? There’s a reason why they call affairs a fantasy—because that’s what it is. He probably can’t even take care of himself.”

“This isn’t about Cash.”

“Yet, you knew exactly who I was talking about.”

“Because he was at the movie theater. Please don’t do this. I just want my stuff. Let me go, please.”

“Your stuff,” he laughs darkly. “If you mean all the shit I have worked my fingers to the bone for, then yeah, I guess it’s your stuff.”

“Fine,” I snatch my arm away, “I’ll leave it all here. Will that make you happy?”

And here come those tears I was warned about.

“My wife not spreading her legs for another guy would make me happy. My wife being an honorable woman would make me happy. My wife being appreciative of everything I have given to her would make me happy.”

“Don’t even talk to me about being appreciative, Adam. Do not even—” I start to walk away, but he steps in front of me.

“No, you don’t even. I’m not the one who is wrong here. As crappy as I’ve felt over the last few years, I have never run to another woman to fix it. I have never been disloyal to you and at the end of every damn day I have always come home to you, Lil.

“Those two days you went missing—you were with that punk weren’t you? Weren’t you? Was that the first time you slept with him? You’re disgusting. You crawled into our bed and slept next to me and you are so damn disgusting, Lilla, I can hardly stand the sight of you. My mother was right—I never should have married King trash.”

“No,” I sniffle.

“No?”

“I didn’t sleep with him that night. You asked if I did—the answer is no. I didn’t. I went for a drive with him—but no, I didn’t sleep with him.”

“I’m sure it’s all semantics at this point.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Oh—well, in that case let us just forget all about it.”

“I’m not apologizing so you’ll forgive me. I don’t want to be in this marriage. I’m just trying to give you the courtesy of knowing the truth. You deserve that much.”

“How considerate of you, Lilla, but it won’t change anything. At the end of the day, you’re still just a slut who can’t keep her damn legs closed.”

He catches my hand before it smacks him. I’m tugged towards him. Too close.

“Does he do it like this?” Adam leans for my mouth, but I turn. He goes for my shirt, grabbing for my chest and I just want to disappear. “Does he whisper in your ear how he wants to fuck you, Lilla, and you’re so pretty and you buy that bullshit?”

He keeps grabbing at me, too strong to wiggle free. Fat tears stream down my cheeks.

“Adam, stop. Let me go.”

“There’s no way that kid can please you better than a grown man could, Lil. I know all your secrets.
