Tristan Grayson wasn’t at all surprised that Archie Sumrs knew about his relationship with Mika Sumrs. Instead, he turned and pulled the dazed, naked woman on the floor behind him to her feet. "I’m afraid I can’t grant Mr. Sumrs’s wish. Miss Sumrs and I are a legally married couple, ant to spend the rest of our lives together. How could I possibly do as Mr. Sumrs demands?"
"Tristan Grayson, don’t think I don’t know the shady dealings in your entertainnt industry. If you truly loved Mika, why haven’t you announced your marriage for the past three years? And with your resources, how could you let the woman you love live in a place like that? Also, I will find out who that woman in the hospital is. You’d better pray you haven’t done anything to betray Mika. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it."
The smile on Tristan Grayson’s face froze the mont he heard the words "that woman." He gripped his phone tightly, his tone instantly turning icy. "Mr. Sumrs, I suggest you stay out of my business."
Without waiting for Archie Sumrs to respond, Tristan Grayson hung up. He shoved the phone into Mika Sumrs’s hand and left the room without a single glance in her direction.
Mika Sumrs held the phone, her mind reeling. She had completely forgotten to cry.
Tristan Grayson’s words kept echoing in her head. ’I’m afraid I can’t grant Mr. Sumrs’s wish. Miss Sumrs and I are a legally married couple, ant to spend the rest of our lives together. How could I possibly do as Mr. Sumrs demands?’
’So, my brother knows about my relationship with Tristan Grayson.’
Suddenly, she shot to her feet, panicked and utterly lost.
’What am I going to do? I married Tristan Grayson in secret. How am I going to explain this to Mom and Dad? How can I possibly make my brother understand?’
’And it’s not just that I got married—I’m divorced, too.’
’At only twenty-five, I’m already on my second marriage.’
’If Mom and Dad find out, they’ll kill .’
Tristan Grayson stood by the living room window. After a few monts alone to compose himself, so of his anger finally subsided.
Since he’d decided to be with this woman, it was about ti he t her family. And he might as well et his so-called brother-in-law while he was at it.
It would be a good opportunity to teach his arrogant brother-in-law that no one in this world—aside from his own family—could threaten Tristan Grayson. He also needed to make it crystal clear that this was Valerim, not Austerra...
He turned, grabbed his phone, and sent a text to Henry Archer before heading back to the bedroom.
When he got to the bedroom, he found her huddled on the floor, still naked, hugging her knees with red-rimd eyes.
He couldn’t stand seeing her like this, acting as if she’d suffered so great injustice.
The anger he had just managed to suppress flared up again. He strode over, and without a word, yanked her up from the floor. "Don’t you dare put on this pathetic act for . Do you have any idea how disgusting you look right now?"
"Tristan Grayson, we’re already divorced! Why won’t you just let go?" ’Why did he have to tell my brother we were married? By doing this, he’s completely destroyed my last shred of hope.’
’Without love, at least I still had my family. But now? Now I don’t even have them anymore. After what he’s done, how can I ever face my parents again?’
