Chapter 2 " Enough with this fake amnesia bullshit . It's getting old . Keep this up and I won't be so nice . " I pulled out the ring I'd just taken off while washing my hands - my husband and I had made this ring together . It wasn't expensive , but it meant everything to me . [ ] Damon stared for a second , then doubled over laughing . [] " This piece of junk - is it even worth five bucks ? You're so broke someone actually married you ? Some fifty - year - old creep ? Or maybe some limp - dick loser ? " Ivy came up behind Damon , wrapping her arms around him and breathing in his ear . ] " Maybe it's charity work . Her brain probably got scrambled when she jumped off that temple . Marrying off the mentally disabled early is doing society a favor , right ? Who else would want her ? " ] The room exploded with laughter . Damon bent over cracking up , sweeping Ivy into his arms for another round of tongue action . I stood there holding my ring like a complete fool . Just as I was about to put it away , Ivy snatched it . [ ] " Oh wow , there's even a name engraved inside . G - G - what a fake little prop . " I reached for my ring , but she stuffed it in her pocket . [ ] " Drink up and I'll give your little toy back . " e.l Damon shoved a bottle of hard liquor at me . I shook my head firmly . [ ] " I don't drink . Ever . And I really don't know you . " [ ] His face changed instantly as he slapped me hard across the face , his nails leaving scratches that burned like fire . [ ] * Still with the act ?! Look how BOLD you've gotten after a few years . Actually trying to defy me ?! " ] Everyone around us moved without him even asking , pinning me to the floor and forcing my mouth open . [ ] Ivy pretended to help while totally making things worse . " Scarlett loves you more than anything , Damon . Maybe she just got spoiled being on her own . You can train that out of her . Don't be mad . " [] Damon snorted and jammed the bottle against my lips . " Scarlett ! Time to learn some manners ! " ] ] I kept my teeth clenched , refusing every drop Ivy's eyes lit up with an idea . She " accidentally " slipped and dropped her full weight onto my waist . ] " Oops ! This floor is so slippery ! " ] CRACK ] Agony shot through my back . Chapter 2 I gasped involuntarily , and all that bitter , burning alcohol poured down my throat . Red welts immediately broke out all over my skin , itching like crazy . [ ] One of the girls asked nervously : [ ] " Damon , is this allergy gonna kill her ? " Damon frowned and waved them off , looking at me with zero guilt and total blame . [ ] " If you can't drink , why didn't you SAY so ?! You drank it on purpose to make me feel bad . Look at your disgusting rash - totally kills the mood . " I was on the floor coughing my guts out , feeling like I was gonna puke my entire stomach . [ ] " Give me back ... my ring ... " [] Ivy pulled the ring out of her pocket and tossed it into my pile of vomit , then dumped a trash can over my head . [ ] I frantically searched through the filth , my hands covered in garbage . ] Damon laughed at my pathetic state . ] " G- G . What a trashy name for your fake husband . Probably some country hick who drives for rich people . Bet he's ugly as hell , with saggy moobs and so fat he can't see his own dick . " ] Laughter crashed around me like a storm , drowning out everything else . [ ] I was furious , clutching my recovered ring tight . ] " My husband's name is Griffin Grayson ! Griffin Grayson ! I won't let you talk about him like that ! And I was staring because my husband has the exact same watch ! Not for any other reason ! " ] ] For a moment , the air went dead silent . [ ] Damon stepped on my hand , and my ring went flying . His voice was shocked and furious . " What did you just say ?! " ( 0 ) Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
