CHAPTER 35

Ash

I was so fucking angry…so fucking broken, I couldn’t figure out what to do with my rage and hate—couldn’t figure out what the fuck to do with Wren. I wanted to hate her for not telling me while Turner was still alive—so I could fucking kill him myself. But another part of me wanted to gather her up in my arms and comfort her for everything she’d just gone through.

Yet dealing with Wren could wait, because Evan Rhodes was just as guilty as Turner for my father’s death—and was guilty of a whole lot more. I may be angry with Wren, but she was still my wife and the woman I loved, and Evan would pay for hurting her.

“You need to see a doctor…” The thought of that fucking animal forcing himself on her…fucking her…

“He…he used a condom…said I was a whore and didn’t want to catch anything.” Her tears spilled down her cheeks, stoking my anger.

“Stay here. Evan and I are going to have a bit of a talk.” And by talk, I meant that I was going to fucking bash his head in.

Wren grabbed my arm, holding onto me, her eyes pleading with me. “Don’t go, Ash…I know you’ll murder him—and though he deserves it, you’re risking your life…you’re risking real jail time.”

“It’ll be worth it after what he did to you, Wren. And no fucking jury would convict me.” I yanked free of her hold, but she was grasping at me again, and even Sammie started to look worried and panicked.

“There’s another way—especially if you’re trying to leave this sort of life behind.” She pulled out her phone, and offered it to me. “I had a feeling things might not go well, since he had already threatened me over the phone when he called me. So I recorded my meeting with him, just in case things went bad. There’s enough there to put him away for a long time. Just take it to the cops. Please.”

I tipped my head toward her phone. She unlocked the screen and accessed the file, swiping and tapping at the screen. “I just sent it to your cell so you’ll have access to it. I just…I’m sorry…I can’t bear to listen to it.”

And again, as her tears rolled down her cheeks, I was reminded of all the horrors she’d had to endure in her short life. I wanted to stay angry with her for keeping the truth from me, and though my anger was still a volatile rage, my heart broke for her.

Cupping her cheek in my hands, I brushed her tears away. “Will you be here when I get back?”

“I honestly don’t know.”
