“This is your number, right?” She pointed to the invitation card with the RSVP section of numbers before quickly texting something on her phone and adding, “Please kick his ass.” She turned towards her taxi without waiting for another word from me.
“Gwen!” Noah called out to her before groaning, “Jesus. He was her fucking fiancé.”
Feeling my phone vibrate, I pulled it out of my coat pocket.
He left his email open on my phone. I just got a confirmation.
Prescott Hills
Old Montauk Hamptons, NY
Room 1204
“Eli, don’t—”
Ignoring him, I got into the car, and without a second thought, I drove; the rage in me growing with each passing mile. I gripped the steering wheel, gritting my teeth together as I couldn’t stop my mind from whirling. They were no more than twenty minutes away from the chaos they had unleashed on my life.
When I pulled up at Prescott Hills, I was prepared to kick the door down when I saw both of them walking towards me, completely obvious, still holding those godforsaken hands.
“Eli!” Hannah gasped, no longer in her dress, but wearing jeans and a gift shop shirt.
Ignoring her, my fist collided with his jaw and he fell against the wall, but that didn’t stop me. Grabbing him by the collar, I kept punching until my knuckles cracked on his face.
“STOP! Eli! Stop or I will call the cops, I swear,” she yelled.
I wanted to kill him, but by some miracle, I managed to stop. “Call the cops?” I stood rigid, ignoring the pain in my hand and the fucker at my feet. “What's stopping you, Hannah? Make this day even more special!”
She hung her head, dropping to her knees beside him.
“I understand that you hate—”
“You understand nothing.” I cut him off. I couldn’t even look at them anymore. I turned to leave but stopped, pulling out my phone and taking a picture of his bloody face. It gave me no real satisfaction, but what the hell. Maybe that other woman would get some peace of mind out of seeing it.
Entering my car, all I could wonder as I drove was, how? How could this happen?
