Nathan's grip tightened around my wrist, and he slammedagainst the door to my room. The force made my head spin. "The next day was our wedding," he growled. "Couldn't you have avoided him, just for that one night? If you couldn't let go of him, why did you marry me?" His words cut deep, but at this point, I had nothing left to say.

Nathan stared at me, his expression unreadable. But I didn't care anymore. I walked to the bathroom and picked up one of Oliver's old toothbrushes. Returning to the room, I handed it to him. "Here," I said flatly. "You can do the test yourself."

For a moment, Nathan hesitated, his hand hovering over the toothbrush.

Then he took it without a word. I e I walked past him and opened the door, my voice firm but empty. "Now, please leave."
