And it wasn’t a question, although most people might think it was. But she still answered. “Yes.”
He slid the ring onto her right ring finger since her left was in a cast and her fingers were still swollen. Then he then stood, gathering her close to kiss her. Hard. Fast. Deep.
“How long have you two even known each other?” Matt demanded. “Is this for real?”
She glanced over to see him watching, his face red and filled with anger. Shelby Colby was standing at his side, but he was no longer touching her. She was glaring at the ring like it offended her.
Good. Because she offended Faith.
“What right do you have to ask that?” she asked. “It’s not like you ever actually cared about me. You were only using me for money.”
“That’s not true. I loved you. I think we should talk, Faith. Just me and you.”
She made a scoffing noise. “That’s not happening. And, love me? Right. That’s why you stole from me, made me believe that the shop failing was all my fault, oh, and kept taking money from me. You’re a . . . you’re a fucking jerk!”
Everyone sucked in a shocked breath.
She said it. And she wasn’t taking it back.
“Well, he’s my jerk now,” Shelby crowed. Then she frowned. “Wait.”
“You always were dumb, Shelby,” Faith told her. “The two of you deserve each other.”
“Faith, this isn’t like you. This is him.” Matt glared at Reuben. “I know you’re only upset because you care about me.”
“No, Matt. This is me. This is me being furious with you for everything you did to me. But not because I care about you. It’s because you ruined my dream and damaged my relationship with my family. Are you even a Daddy Dom?”
He looked ill. “God, no. I was just pretending to keep you with me.”
God. She was such an idiot.
“And were you sleeping with her while you were with me?” She gestured toward Shelby.
Matt grimaced. She took that as a yes.
“Well. I guess I should be grateful that you didn’t give me any diseases. God knows, Shelby’s had them all.”
“Hey, you bitch!” Shelby jumped toward her, but Reuben quickly stood in front of her while Matt grabbed Shelby.
“Let me go! Let me at that bitch!”
“Enough!” her father roared.
Faith stared over at him in shock. It wasn’t like her dad to ever raise his voice. Even Shelby grew quiet.
“I have been quiet for too long. You.” Her father pointed at Matt. “You are going to pay for what you’ve done to my daughter and our family.”
“Yeah?” Matt sneered. “What are you going to do? You’re just an old, washed-up, powerless farmer.”
“My dad won’t need to do anything,” Faith told him as she step. “Because I am going to ruin you.”
“You are?” He laughed. “Faith, you couldn’t even kill a spider in the shower. What are you going to do to me?”
“Well, first, you’re going to jail,” Reuben said, wrapping his arm around her.
“What?” Matt demanded.
“Hmm. But I don’t think that’s enough. I’m going to have to see what else I can do to make your life a complete and utter misery. I know plenty of people who can torture you in jail. Every. Single. Day.”
