Chapter 20 Divorce Proposal

“What, did you just say?” “Let's end this. This marriage is toxic, and cruel for the both of us—” Chase grabbed her chin, forcing her closer to his gorgeous face. But his expression was near murderous. For a moment, only his heavy breathing filled the dark living room. “Don't you dare utter such words to me again.” He finally said, “You must be really drunk. Go sleep off the alcohol.” Mirabel protested, “No! This isn't the alcohol talking—” He grabbed her jaw tighter, till she was in pain. “Don't ever tell me no.” He nudged her towards the stairs, with a hard slap on her ass. Mirabel was frustrated to the point of tears. She didn't look back at the silent rage in his blue eyes as she made her way up the stairs. He might think she was drunk now, but tomorrow, she would mention the divorce again. She would get it, no matter what! The next day, Mirabel reacted badly to the wine. She stayed asleep all day, until it was dinnertime. Amy was standing by the side of the bed, waiting.
