---- Chapter 7 Reuben grabbed my phone and immediately called Spencer. "Mr. Joplin, I saw you from upstairs earlier. You should've come in. Lissy was being rude. Let me apologize on her behalf." Spencer probably hadn't made it home yet. The line was silent for a few seconds before he finally answered, his voice deep and rough. "Reuben, whatever this is, take it up with me. Keep her out of it. " "Fair enough, Mr. Joplin. I respect that. Then, do mea favor-turn your car around so we can talk. Don't worry. Lissy's still my wife. I'd never put her ina tough spot." Amoment later, the doorbell rang. Reuben answered it to find Spencer, breathing hard, his forehead damp with sweat. I met his eyes and shook my head to show I was fine. Spencer eased up with clear relief before turning to ---- Reuben. "Cut to the chase, Reuben." "My wife's gorgeous and has an amazing body. She went with you on that two-week business trip for free, and if you added up all those days together, it would've cost you a fortune. "So, here's the deal-you keep her as your little toy, and in return, I get promoted to general manager. Sounds good?" Spencer frowned. Meanwhile, my cheeks burned at Reuben's filthy words. I kept my eyes fixed on the ground, struggling to believe this was the same man I'd been married to for five years. "General manager? Even if I agreed to hand you the position, do you actually think you could handle it?" "That's not your problem, Mr. Joplin. Just say yes or no. Or pay me five million dollars. Then, we'll go month-to-month from there." That was it. I snatched the mug off the table and ---- hurled it at him. It cracked against his forehead, and blood instantly trickled down his face. "Go to hell, Reuben!" All the bitterness I'd been holding in erupted instantly. All I could think about was bringing him down with me. Reuben clutched his forehead. His bloodied face made his expression look even more vicious. "Elise! Are you insane?" Spencer jerked me back, tucking me behind him before gently patting my hand. "Fine. You'll get what you want. But only after you sign the divorce papers and promise you'll never bother her again. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're gone from this city." Spencer ended up taking me back to his place. I sat on the couch, wrapped in his jacket, my mind a mess of tangled thoughts. I only snapped out of it when I felt a warm touch against my palm.
