And Denise, who should have been in this room, was nowhere to be seen.
My mind went blank for a split second.
"Well, if everything's fine, we'll leave you two to it."
The officers read the room, turned around, closed the door behind them, and left.
Ezra's gaze settled on me. It was the same look of disgust I'd known so well in my previous life.
"Shelagh. I can't believe that even after being sent back, you still haven't learned your lesson. You actually tried to get your own sister thrown in prison."
"But this time, you won't get your way. I told you. As long as I'm here, no one touches Denise or the baby she's carrying."
"So. You came back too."
Shock jolted through me, but I steadied myself almost instantly.
There was no point in pretending with him anymore.
I let every trace of warmth drain from my face.
"Then let's get a divorce."
But my words earned no agreement. Ezra's brow furrowed hard, and he cut me off.
"No."
I almost couldn't believe what I was hearing. A bitter laugh escaped me.
