Chapter 2114 Praise And Trample
- Shock spread across Hannah's features as she cupped the side of her stinging face. “You hit me?” She blinked, as though the taste of those words were impossible. “Simon, you actually struck me?” Since their wedding, Simon had cooed over her, pampered her, guarded her like a father fussing over a fragile daughter. Yet a moment ago, his palm had crashed against her cheek. She sobbed, fists drumming against his chest. “How could you hit me? How could you stand to? You promised—you said you would cherish me for life! How could a promise vanish with a single slap?”
- “Get away!” Simon clamped a bruising grip around her wrists and flung her aside. The tendons in his neck rose like iron cables. “I won't just hit you. I'm divorcing you!” His face twisted into something nearly unrecognizable. “Hannah, what right do you have to invoke the vows I made? You deceived me first!”
- Simon lost the fragile leash on his fury and struck her once more, a savage crack that echoed off the walls. “You said you were untouched. You said I was the first man to hold you, the first to have you. And what is the truth? Multiple abortions—more than one hidden scar! You toyed with me, made a fool of me. So with what authority do you demand the promises I once offered? Those vows belonged to the woman I thought was clean, gentle, and real. Is that you? No—no, you're not!”
