“I don’t know what you want.”
She stated as she looked at him.
“Really?”
he grated out.
“After all these years, you don’t know what I want?”
he didn’t believe her.
“No,”
she shook her head,
“Please just leave me alone.”
“Now that’s no way to talk to your…”
he leaned all the way down to press his mouth to her ear.
“Ex??usband.”
He murmured.
“I’ve never been married to my recollection.”
She stated right back.
“Get away from me.”
He leaned back a little and raised an eyebrow at her,
“Drop the act Marrin.”
He snapped at her, impatient and over her continual game playing with him,
“My name is Marilyn Riddley. I am not who you think I am, not this Marrin Reeves, you or anyone else here talks about.”
“The hell you’re not. You don’t honestly think I don’t know my wife when I see her, do you?”
he barked at her angrily.
“Get away from me, this is harassment.”
she snapped at him now, angry, it seemed now, at him.
“Oh, is it. I’m harassing you,”
he laughed a little on the nasty side
“When you’re here in my city. Posing as someone else. Letting everyone get a good look at you, and starting rumours about you and I, all over again after all these years, I think you’re the one harassing me.”
She shoved at him unexpectedly, trying to make him step back from her and clear her personal space, and then she tried to walk away from him. His hand clamped around her upper arm, and she screamed
“Get off don’t touch me,”
as he was yanking her back towards him, and shoving her up against her car. me,
“Oh, that’s rich, Don’t touch you, when that’s all you ever wanted, when we were married.”
“Leave me alone.”
She yelled at him and was suddenly struggling against his grip, trying to pull away from him.
“No one in this city is going to help you, Marrin, not against me,”
he spat at her.
He felt a hand land on his arm, and then it was pulling at him.
“Let go of her, asshole.”
His eyes moved to find Lisa Stevens yanking at his arm, trying to make him let go of Rin. He shoved that woman off himself and yelled at her to stay out of it.
She fell down on the ground due to the force he’d used and cried out in pain as she face planted on the sidewalk. His hand snapped out, and he tried to latch onto Rin as she tried to rush away from him. He tried to grab her collar but got a fist full of her hair instead. As he yanked her back towards him, she cried out in pain as he grated out
“We’re not done talking yet.”
He hadn’t realised until now he had her by the hair and was hurting her.
Not until he saw tears brim in her light blue eyes, as she was now made to stare up at him. He heard that woman on the ground stating
“Police,”
his hand tightened for a moment in Rin’s hair, and she gasped out in more pain, her hands going to his to try and make him let go. He saw the tears fall, as fear and pain filled her eyes, and he let go instantly, stepping back away from her.
He was physically harming her. He’d never once harmed her before, he would never. He watched as she stumbled away from him towards her friend, and he turned and stalked away down the street, only to hear Lisa yell
“I’m calling the police asshole, Calvin Reeves isn’t it. Do you enjoy beating women?”
He’d turned and left, strode away, because no he didn’t, he’d never once in his life hurt Rin, it wasn’t in him. He’d completely lost control of himself just now. He had let all his anger about what Rin had done to him, all those years ago, consume him and get the better of him, now that he was face??o??ace with her once more, was all.
He had to walk away to calm himself and regain some control. He couldn’t really understand his own actions right now. He had been stalking her to get answers from her, knowing a part of him wanted to punish her for his pain and suffering. But then those tears she’d just shed looking up at him, seeing pain in her eyes as he physically harmed her, had undone him, because he didn’t want to hurt her.
