Garrett's grip on her shoulder was so tight that it made Kailee wince in pain. Leaning gently against his shoulder, she complained, "Garrett, you're hurting me.'
Garrett released her hand at once. He stepped away from her, face twisting in disgust.
The last thing he wanted was to be close to such a vicious woman. He would rather die than have any physical contact with her.
Garrett's avoidance was lost in Kailee. Instead of moving away she leisurely pulled out her phone and opened the photo of them intimately lying together. A satisfied smirk appeared on her lips as she studied the photo. "Look at us! This is the evidence of our love."
Enraged, Garrett laughed sarcastically, "Do you even deserve to be in love with me?"
"It's not for you to decide if I'm worthy or not," Kailee retorted. She kept her phone on display, smiling wickedly at Garrett. "Weren't you the one who forced yourself on me while drunk, Garrett? I'm just a victim!"
Garrett was consumed with fury. He wanted nothing more than to tear this woman into pieces. "You better tell me the truth now, Kailee," he threatened. "If you keep up this charade, I can't promise I can deal with you calmly!"
Kailee couldn't care less that Garrett was fuming with anger.
She sat leisurely on the couch, unfazed by his threats. Smiling, she said, "I'm telling the truth. That day, you were at a dinner party, drunk. I happened to be on vacation and was checked in at
the same hotel. I simply meant to help you back to your room, yet you forced me to spend the night with you."
Garrett tried his best to recall the events of that day. His brows furrowed in deep thought but his mind was completely blank.
Yes, he was at a social gathering that day and had drunk a few glasses of alcohol. But what happened after that seemed to be erased from his memories.
"And you promised me that you would divorce Laney once you return. I wouldn't have agreed to have sex with you otherwise," Kailee said, shrugging. Then, she lowered her head all of a sudden, looking dejected. When Kailee continued, her tone was very aggrieved. "The only reason I took the photo was so I had proof. I was afraid you wouldn't keep your promise."
"You are lying!" Garrett believed none of her words.
Ever since the class reunion, his resentment of Kailee surfaced. How could he possibly liaison with someone he utterly detested? Alcohol was hardly a reason.
