His fists clenched in preparation for pummeling Henley, but he caught himself just
in time.
He knew Henley was baiting him.
Mitchel tilted his head upward and sneered, “No matter what you think, she’s still
my wife.”
Observing the rage flash across Mitchel’s face, Henley decided to pour more
gasoline on the fire.
“Mr. Dixon, wouldn't it be thrilling to make this a true competition?”
Bang! Mitchel’s fist came flying, colliding with Henley’s face.
Henleys nose started to bleed. Holding a hand to his face, he tried to maintain
some semblance of dignity.
Mitchel was now a live wire, eyes ablaze. He raised his foot, preparing for the
next strike.
“Enough!” Raegan appeared, stepping between them.
“What's gotten into you, Mitchel?”
Noticing her defensive stance over Henley, Mitchel’s eyes squinted, his heart
wrenching.
He scoffed.

“I see. I've arrived at an inconvenient moment, haven't I?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Raegan shot back, a bitter taste forming
in her heart.
Mitchel’s face twisted in anger as he saw her come to another man’s defense.
His words turned caustic.
“If you dare to cheat on me, why couldn't I talk about it, hun? “
A paleness washed over Raegan’s face, and it felt as if a weight was
compressing her chest, suffocating her.
A mixture of exhaustion, numbness, and disillusionment whirled in her head,
plunging her into a deeper state of despair.
Hadn't she already given up hope on her relationship with Mitchel?
What could be more disheartening? Clearly, nothing.
Turning her attention to Henley, she offered, “Henley, let's get you to a doctor.”
“You dare to leave with him? Stay!”
Mitchel’s fury boiled over. He tried to grab Raegan but was thwarted by Henley.
Blood smeared on his face, Henley confronted Mitchel, “Mr. Dixon, planning to
strike a woman now?”
