That comment set Daniel off completely. He didn’t dare lash out at me, so he dumped all his rage on Julian
instead.
“This is all YOUR fault! If you hadn’t come along trying to steal her away, maybe Zelda would’ve forgiven
me!”
His face twisted with fury as he lunged forward, ready to throw a punch at Julian.
But before I could even step in, Julian beat him to it-landing a solid hit right to Daniel’s face.
‘Steal your girl? Zelda’s not some fucking object you can own. She’s a person with her own damn choices. She can be with whoever the hell she wants.”
And if I really wanted to fight you for her? You would’ve lost three years ago. The only reason I stood back ind watched her with another guy was because I didn’t want to mess with her head.”
You think you can actually compete with me? Please.”
Daniel clearly hadn’t expected Julian to be so quick with his fists. The guy was straight-up scared now.
But Sophia, thinking she could get away with anything because she’s a woman, decided to jump in and lefend Daniel. She swung at Julian while yelling like a crazy person.
kicked her square in the chest. Julian and I sent both of them flying straight into the nearby dumpster.
Learn your lesson. Come after us again, and we’ll break your damn legs.”
That’s when Sophia started throwing up. Looked like morning sickness to me.
he sat there whimpering, claiming she was pregnant with Daniel’s kid.
Danny! I’m pregnant-it’s your baby!”
Call the cops on them! If something happens to my baby, I swear-”
Shut the hell up! That’s not my kid, are you insane? Don’t you dare say it’s mine in front of Zelda!”
‘Zelda, I don’t acknowledge that baby. The only child I’d ever want is yours.”
shot him such a cold stare that he actually flinched.
‘Wow. You’re not just a cheating scumbag-you’re straight-up heartless.”

Chapter 9
“I was the one who went to buy you guys the morning after pills that night, remember? But she never took them. Those pills sat on the counter for days.”
“And when you two were screwing around in the woods, you didn’t use protection either. I heard everything.”
“Try denying it now.”
Daniel’s face went death-pale. My words hit their mark, and he couldn’t say shit back.
“I fucked up. I really fucked up.”
‘If you’ll just forgive me, I’ll make her get rid of the baby right now.”
‘No! It’s My baby! Danny, don’t beg her-I’ll never leave you…”
‘YOU shut up! This is all your fault for throwing yourself at me!”
I’d had enough of these two disasters. I grabbed Julian’s hand tight and we got the hell out of there.
‘Zelda, don’t go! Please, I’m begging you to come back!”
Daniel’s voice echoed behind us, and tears started streaming down my face.
‘Stop calling her name-Zelda doesn’t love you anymore!”
‘Fuck off! Just fuck off! This is all your fault…”
Whatever happened after that had nothing to do with me.
Later on, I came back to the States on a business trip and ran into an old friend in the city. She filled me in
on the drama.
Apparently, Daniel and Sophia got married. Word had gotten out about what a piece of shit Daniel was, and no decent woman would touch him with a ten-foot pole. Plus, Sophia was knocked up, so he was pretty much trapped.
But married life was a total shitshow. The thrill was gone, and it was all bills and real life. When money got tight, they’d beat the crap out of each other.
Sophia stopped worshipping Daniel and started hooking up with other guys, humiliating him publicly. When Daniel caught her with her side pieces, he’d beat her so bad she’d end up in the hospital.
When I heard all this, I just laughed it off. None of my business anymore.
Julian and I had built a beautiful, stable life together.
