Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 42

Before he could finish speaking, I raised my arm and slapped Gavin hard.

His face was sent sideways by the sudden blow. He pressed his tongue to the side of his face, his gaze sharp as a knife as he looked at me. "What? Did I hit a nerve? Are you angry now?"

"Gavin, you disgust me!" My body trembled uncontrollably, and my chest felt like it was about to explode.

"What? You're not disgusted by Tom? He dares to steal his best friend's woman—what kind of man do you think he is?"

I looked at him coldly as if I was seeing this person for the first time.

He had consumed my entire youth and all my affection.

I had thrown myself into a one-sided love, full of courage and passion, only to find that it would all lead to this outcome in the future.

"Grace, I will never divorce you! I want to see what Tom thinks he can do—how dare he take you, a married woman!"

With those final words, Gavin stormed off.

I stood there, exhausted, feeling as if all my strength had been drained from my body.

I didn't know how long it had been, but I rubbed my stiff face and smiled.

I had been out long enough and still had work to do. I couldn't let that bastard ruin my mood.

Once I calmed myself, I took a deep breath and returned to the company.
