Chapter <b>3 </b>
Whatever weird shit Tiana, Garrett, and his boys got up to as kids–the kissing, the touching, the experimenting–that was their business.
I didn’t get it, but I could respect it.]]
<b>My </b>boyfriend, my choice, my problem.[]
But insulting me to my face? In front of everyone?]
Hell no. Not for one fucking second.[]
Time to roll up my sleeves and have a real “conversation” with this bitch.[]
After I’d pinned her down and pped her around for a solid minute, the guys finally pulled me off her.[]
But then Garrett–that piece of shit–raised his hand and smacked me across the face.]
The taste of blood filled my mouth, my ears ringing as his voice cut through the chaos:]]
“Sutton, are you insane? Can’t take a joke?“]
“And you call yourself ssy!”
“Getting physical like some trailer trash!“]
“Apologize! Now!“]
He was screaming at me while gently checking Tiana’s face for damage.
The other guys just stood there with these smug, entertained expressions.[]
So Garrett hits women now?
Surprising, but then again, maybe not.]
Guess that whole gentleman act was just that–an act.[]
Here’s the thing about me: I’ll eat anything except shit.
I immediately grabbed a <b>beer </b>bottle from the table and smashed it over Garrett’s head![]
ss <b>exploded </b>everywhere, and blood started tackling down his cheek
After a moment of shock, he pointed at me. creatung: “Sutton, you’re fucking crazy!”
“We’re done! I’m breaking up with your

“PERFECT!“[]
With that, I turned to leave.[]
I didn’t want any part of their toxic little circle, and I sure as hell didn’t want Garrett anymore.]]
I just wanted to get home and tell my mother everything–make sure she killed any business deals or prenup discussions with the ckwells immediately.[]
But then Tiana’s shrill voice cut through the air behind me:[]
“Don’t let her leave!“]]
“Marcus, lock that door! Now!”
Before I could react<b>, </b>she grabbed my phone from the table and smashed it on the floor.]
It shattered into pieces,pletely destroyed.[]
“Garrett, you can’t let her walk out of here, and you sure as hell can’t break up with her!”]
Tiana was practically foaming at the mouth. “Your families are in the middle of major business negotiations! You can’t let some bratty bitch ruin everything!“]]
“She can’t leave here and start running her mouth about what happened!“[]
“Garrett, when women get out of line, you beat them into submission!“]
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
This was supposed <i>to </i>be an educated<b>, </b>modern woman?![]
But Tiana wasn’t done:]
“Garrett, you’re pathetic! Letting some uppity bitch <b>get </b>the better of you<b>?</b><b>“</b>]
“She hit me, and today she’s gonna pay for it!“]
I was almost curious to see what she had in mind.[]
“You five–fuck her! I’ll record the whole thing!” Tiana’s eyes were pure venom. “Let’s see how high and mighty she acts after we get this on video!“]
“Plus, with footage like <b>that</b>, your family can negotiate whatever deal they want, right?”
“What’s she gunna do, call the cops?”
“She’s Sulton Marshall–if tus gets out, her reputation is destroyed forever!”
“The best way to handle lotches like this is to adushee them into submission. Make sure they never look you in the eye <b>again</b>!
