“Why so he can tell me more lies?” I yelled.
“Don’t think he’s going to lie. He hasn’t defended himself at all. You need to go. He’s your husband.” He unmuted it and gave it back to me.
I breathed in and exhaled loudly. “I’ll let you know what time my flight gets in.”
“Okay. No matter what, know that I love you and my family.” Carter sounded deflated.
I ended the call without saying goodbye. “Why didn’t he tell me I was tripping? Why didn’t he defend himself? What does that mean? Tell me what you know.” I used my fists to hit Grey’s chest.
He shook his head, allowing me to use him as a punching bag until he finally grabbed my wrists and moved onto the lounger, pulling me down with him. Grey held me while I cried.
Grey had come back into our lives because it was time for all secrets to be divulged. I used his strength and warmth to comfort me while I still had his love. If he felt a tenth of what I’m feeling right now about Carter and whatever he needed to tell me, Grey would never forgive me when I shared my secret. That thought made me sob harder and hold on to him even tighter.
I was about to lose both men who had been my rocks.
