Chapter 6
But Jack just stood there, frozen.
When he finally met my eyes, the color drained from his face.
His arms went slack, dropping Tyler to the ground with a thud.]
Daddy, that hurt!” Tyler wailed from the pavement.
Ashley rushed to comfort him. “It’s okay, baby, Daddy’s just angry at the had people who hurt you.“[]
The parents nodded eagerly.]]
“Look how pale he is must be furious!”
“Of course! A man might fool around, but he’ll never let anyone disrespect his real family.“]
“That homewrecker really crossed the line this time.“]
“Everyone record this! She’s about to get what she deserves!”
The crowd buzzed with anticipation, waiting for Jack’s next move.]
But he just stood there, paralyzed.
Ashley noticed his hesitation. Her smile turned knowing.
“Darling, I understand. She’s your little mistake. I get it. But if you deal with her now and promise to end it, all is forgiven.”
“Go ahead. Show everyone where your loyalty lies.”
Ashley was so sure of her position, certain Jack would choose her.
But Jack remained frozen, staring at me like he’d seen at a ghost.
No one spotted the sweat beading on his forehead
That’s when Emma stepped forward, tugging Jack’s sleeve:
Her innocent eyes looked up at him, confused. “Daddy, why is that boy calling you his daddy too?”
Before Jack could answer, Tyler shoved her hard.
“Stop calling him that, you stupid brat!]
“I guess I didn’t hurt you enough earlier.”
“He’s My dad! I’ll kill you for trying to steal him!” Tyler raised his fist again.||
Something in Jack snapped. He grabbed Tyler and threw him aside. “Don’t touch her!“]
Tyler crashed onto the pavement.
His elbow scraped raw against the concrete, drawing blood.
His screams pierced the air
Ashley rushed to him, then whirled on Jack. “Have you lost your mind?
“What did our son do wrong? You’d hurt him for that little bastard?“]]
“What spell does this whore have on you?“]
But Jack ignored her. He knelt beside Emma. “Sweetheart, are you hurt?”
der aber
Emma, who to adore shrank back in fear.
She buried herself in my arms, watching him like a wounded animal
Jack’s face crumpled at her reaction.
Just then, a black Mercedes and several police cruisers pulled up
A man in an expensive suit hurried over, looking apologetic.]
“Ms. Walker. I apologize for the delay. Trattle was awful.”
“The divorce papers are ready.”
“And I brought officers to handle the assault charges.“||
Seeing the lawyer’s deference, Ashley exploded. “You desperate hitch! Hiring actors now?”
“Ms. Walker? Who do you think you’re fooling? You’re nothing!”
She spat at my feet.
The parents jumped in. “Just a golddigger pretending to be some CEO.”
“She actually thinks sleeping with Jack makes her somebody?”
“Called the cops on herself – how pathetic“]
I turned to the officers, my voice steady. “These people assaulted me, vandalized my car, destroyed millions in artwork. and their son deliberately injured my daughter with a wire.“]
“I want them charged. No deals.”
The once bold parents started to squirm.
But some still shouted. “Stand your ground! We’re protecting marriage here!“||
“Right! We’re fighting for morality! Everyone supports ust”
The crowd cheered, boosting their fading courage.]
The officer surveyed the damage, his expression darkening.[
“Assault, vandalism, and child abuse in broad daylight?”
He started documenting evidence.
Ashley stood tall, unfazed. “Officer, kids play rough sometimes.”
“And everything damaged was my husband’s property.“]
“A wife can’t steal from herself.”
The parents chimed in desperately. “Exactly! It all belongs to Mr. Walker!”
“What right does a mistress have to complain?“]
“She’s just trying to scam money!“]
The officer turned to Ashley. “You claim this is your husband’s property?“]
Ashley grabbed Jack’s arm. “Here’s my husband! Tell them, honey!”
Jack yanked away like her touch burned. “Get off me!“]
Ashley froze, staring at him in shock.
The crowd fell silent, confused. “What’s happening?“]
As everyone watched, Jack walked slowly toward me.
Then he dropped to his knees.
His voice shook. “I’m so sorry, Sarah.
