I scoff at her, turning. “I shouldn’t have come here.”

“I don’t know why you did. Did you really think you could explain yourself and convince me to feel sorry for you when you were balls deep whilst I was in labour with your fucking son? You’re damn deluded, Mason.”

I move quickly until I’m in her space, my eyes like fire as they burn through her. “Do you truly think I slept with another woman whilst I was with you, the day after we got home from Bora Bora, you honestly believe I cheated on you?”

Her eyes don’t leave mine, her throat working on a swallow. She doesn’t answer me.

I nod my head, my body losing the fight it had moments ago. “Do you know why I don’t want you, Nina?”

Her eyes fill with tears, but they don’t affect me like they once did. She looks to the floor, not answering me. I lift her chin with my finger, bringing her face up to mine.

My lips brush her ear. “Do you know what a whore does when she’s finished?”

She says nothing, her body rigid.

“She leaves.”

I step away from her, my eyes dropping down her body.
