No, no, no. no! This can't be true what in the devil's name? Why am I seeing Jaro Briggs? After 20 fucking years. Did I lose my mind?
"What are you doing here?" I asked scared, tense, humiliated and feeling every fucking feeling.
"I might ask you the same." He said with a smirk. Damn him how in the world is he still managing to look that hot. He hasn't changed much except aged a bit yet looking lesser than his age.
"This is my house for goddamn sake," I yelled.
"I thought this was Mr Holder pipes house."
"I am his wife. Which makes this house also mine!"
"So you are a married woman with kids ? How riveting yet dumbfounding". He said. Is he complimenting me or commenting on me?
"What did think I would be? A pole dancer?" I sighed.
"More or less. Yet you have remained that beast always devouring anything that gets in its way." He accused. How dare he talk to me in this way, in my very own house.
"It's been almost 20 years, Jaro don't act like you still know me!" I called out.
"Is it so? Then why do I see you staring at my pants ?" He said with that damn smirk again. Why in the hell he showed out of nowhere and tormenting me? What he and I had is in past. Water under the bridge. "Don't tell me you still expect me to do all the things we did as teenagers." He said calmly.

Rage can be a strange emotion sometimes. Nobody knows what the outcome will be if one is overpowered with rage. Nobody is able to make rational decisions when they submit to this demon called Rage. And Rhys, of course, wasn't an exception. It was by mistake, and by rage, that he used his hand on his wife. But, actions and words are something that can't be undone. He knew that he was angry but so much that he used his hand on ...
He knew even if Luna and Valerie forgave him, he will not be able to do that with himself. No one is that kind, especially not him. So, he immediately agreed to take refugee with his friend Blaze in a church called :- "The Sanctuary".
It was his anger and rage that he wanted to forget. It was his guilt that he wanted to overcome. It was his regret that he wanted to forgive. And there were so many other emotions attached.
There was so much that he thought he would do when he would step inside 'The Sanctuary'. What he didn't think was that he would never be able to return back...
