“Mr. Whitethorn, even if your family controls half of Jexburgh, you can’t humiliate me like this. Your cruelty only proves

Quinn still cares for me.

Turning to Quinn, he continued, “I know you warm up slowly. We dated a year and married three; feelings like that don’t vanish. If he’s threatening you, Quinn, I can-”

“Trent Grafton, how long will you deceive yourself?” Quinn cut in. “I once loved you–why else would I marry you? But three years beside you burned that love away.”

Her voice sounded calmer than ever that it scared Trent.

“Now I feel only disgust. Julius is my partner; we’ll get married and raise children. Keep harassing me, and the Whitethorn family’s lawyers will have you locked up for two weeks.”

Pain from Trent’s broken arm flooded his body until he could no longer tell whether it was the injury or Quinn’s words that hurt more.

“Marry… Have children…” Trent muttered, stunned that she spoke of a future they were meant to share.

“Tell me–do you truly feel nothing for me?” He still refused to give up.

“Not a shred,” she replied, her voice icy enough to sting. The warning in her eyes said she would do more than talk if he stayed.

Trent wiped the cold sweat from his brow. “Fine, I’ll leave. I finally see you’re the one I truly love. If you ever wish to remarry, I’ll be waiting.”

“That day will never come,” Quinn said, each word a slammed door.

“Move, or I’ll start swinging,” Laura snapped.

Grinding his teeth, Trent turned and staggered away.

Laura told the lobby guard, “If that man shows up again, call the police at once.”

“Understood, Ms. Wentworth,” the guard answered.

“Sorry for the trouble,” Quinn said to Laura.

“What are you talking about? He’s the one who’s shameless.” Laura huffed. “You’re divorced, yet he begs to remarry and forgets every time he sided with Sidonie. Now he learns you saved his life and calls it love. Honestly, if an old lady had pulled him from danger, he’d worship her too.”

Quinn couldn’t help laughing at her friend’s blunt outrage.

“All right, Mr. Whitethorn’s here; go on home,” Laura said.

Quinn nodded and slipped into Julius‘ car.
