I grabbed my keys before I even realized what I was doing.
On the screen, Jake said something too quiet to hear.
The woman answered clearly: “You can’t keep doing this.”
That was it.
I left work without saying a word to anyone.
The drive home was a blur of red lights and pounding adrenaline. By the time I pulled into the driveway, my heart was racing so hard it felt painful.
I flew through the front door, slammed it against the wall, and stormed down the hallway.
From the bedroom, I heard Jake’s voice.
“She won’t check the cameras.”
I shoved the door open.
Both of them jumped.
Jake lay half-reclined on the bed, shirtless. The woman stood beside him, hands raised in surprise.
I stared at her.
“Are you kidding me?” I shouted.
Jake’s face drained of color.
“Mara—”
“Don’t you dare.”
I pointed toward the hallway. “Get out of my house.”
The woman didn’t move. She looked from me to Jake and back again.
