Chapter 14

• "You're insufferable. Go take a hike." His words hit a raw spot; the one vulnerability Sophia wasn't sure she could conquer; if he ever violated their marriage in that manner. She grabs the contracts from the top of the pile he's already signed, her hands trembling but her voice filled with resentment as she tries to maintain her composure.
• Leon grabs her wrist and pulls her towards him over his desk before she can make her gloomy exit, causing her to stumble on her shoes. He stands up to confront her, their faces just inches apart over the wooden surface.
• "Show some decorum, VP Hale. We're in the office. Get a grip, stop behaving like an immature and insecure jealous spouse because you forfeited that right a long time ago." He flings her wrist aside, causing her to lurch forward and she has to slap his desk with her palm to prevent herself from falling. She glares right back at him, meeting his cold and emotionless gaze. His eyes, so dark and focused on her, cause her to momentarily hesitate. She lets words spill out of her mouth, using them as a weapon to hurt him in return.
