“Is this about my brother, or because you heard I was with Poppy and you can’t take your jealousy?”

“Me jealous of her? She’s fat and boring.” She scoffed.

Jealousy seething out of her.

“She’s worth a million of you, that’s facts.”

“She’s been engaged three fucking times, Tait, and never got married, she’s a flake.”

Yeah, the real reason for her late night visit just stepped into the room.

Texas wasn’t surprised.

“I didn’t buy into your shitty excuse last summer, Addison, I don’t buy it now. Get the fuck over it, I was seventeen, I’m nearly thirty now and I haven’t wanted you in a long fucking time. Do you want me to get nasty about it? Because I can. I kept my mouth shut because it appeared you made my twin happy.”

She’d sauntered into his life again last year when he was at his lowest after losing the MC and the bitch thought she could play him again.

“It’s not… Tait… it’s only been you; you know that. There’s always been a us.”

He laughed. The lying balls on this bitch.

“Mal is… he’s always concentrating on his job.”

This selfish bitch had so much wow about her, it wasn’t even funny.

“Are you trapped in a time warp or something? We were a us for 3 minutes before you played me off against my twin. Before you climbed into his bed and didn’t stop even when you knew it wasn’t me. We haven’t been anything long before he put a ring on that spoiled finger. For all his deplorable decisions, my brother has loved you from the beginning. If you can’t give him the same, cut the man loose so he can find it somewhere else. You’re nearly thirty, start acting like an adult, a decent fucking woman, you’re too old for these games, because I’ll tell you for free, I am not playing. I took myself off that board a long time ago and as much as you try to pull me back, it’s not happening. Not for you, not for my twin. Get the fuck in your ride and don’t come here again.”

“Please, Tait. It’s not… things haven’t been right for a while. I’m not lying, Malachai does miss you.”

“I haven’t even been in your life but I can bet money on you being a terrible wife.”

Pain suffused her face. “That’s a horrible thing to say.”

“Yeah it is, for Mal, yet it’s true.”

“I can’t believe this is how you’re talking to me, after everything.”

“There is no ‘everything’ not between us.” He turned around. “Bye, Addison.”

He’d given her far too much time already.

He didn’t wait around to make sure she was safe in her car, he let himself in and locked up behind him and took the stairs.

Halfway he stopped and pulled out his phone.

He might have deleted Mal’s number but his brain remembered it, he tapped it in and waited.

“Tait?”

He didn’t give a greeting. “Your wife was just at my door. Again. Put a fucking leash on her, brother, and make sure she doesn’t come here again, or I won’t be so nice. I’ve got a woman; I don’t want yours. It’s time to re-evaluate your own house.”

He hung up and switched his phone off.

He meant what he said, Malachai might be a backstabbing bastard in a lot of ways, but he didn’t deserve being shit on by being loyal to a lying, manipulative bitch.

It took him a long time to see her true skin.

Now he couldn’t understand what he’d seen in her.
