Chapter 11 No Room for a Third Party in My Marriage Eric was as sharp tongued as ever .
I almost wanted to give him a thumbs up .
Jeremiahs expression grew darker as he hissed through gritted teeth , Eric , this is between me and my wife .
What does it have to do with an outsider like you ? Then , he grabbed my hand .
Come with me ! C Before I could react , he yanked me out of my seat .
But another hand gripped my other arm firmly before Jeremiah could drag me far .
I was startled and turned to see Eric holding me .
There was clear concern in his eyes , and his expression was cold as he confronted Jeremiah .
If theres anything you have to say , you can say it here .
Jeremiahs eyes were stormy , and his grip on my hand tightened .
This is between us .
What does it have to do with you , Eric ? Let go ! Iwas caught between the two men .
I could sense their tension escalating rapidly .
We were at a restaurant , and it was lunch hour .
Their commotion drew the attention of several onlookers , and I didnt want to be the center of their attention .
Though I appreciated Erics concern , there were things I needed to address with Jeremiah .
I also had to sever our ties .
I turned to Eric and said , Please let go , Mr.

He wont hurt me , and I can ensure my safety .
Plus , there are things we need to discuss .
Erics gaze was deep and unreadable as he stared at me .
There seemed to be emotions that couldnt be deciphered .
After a brief silence , he released his grip and reminded me , Call me if you need anything .
I smiled .
Got it .
Jeremiahs anger flared once he noticed my smile .
He dragged me out of the restaurant and shoved me into his car which was parked by the side of the road .
I calmly settled into the passenger seat and watched him slam the door shut after getting in .
Just as I thought hed drive away , he sat in silence .
That made sense .
He couldnt bear to leave Elsa on her own .
Jeremiahs gaze was dark and filled with rage .
He eyed me suspiciously as he questioned , Tell me , is Eric the reason youre insisting on a divorce ? I burst out laughing sarcastically .
A filthy heart sees filth in everything .
His face turned purple with rage .
How dare you ? Chapter 11 No Room for a Third Party in My Marriage 2/2 I cut him off with a sigh , Jeremiah , my decision to divorce you has nothing to do with Eric .
Its because I no longer have feelings for you , and you clearly feel the same toward me .
Jeremiah froze as a flicker of panic and guilt flashed in his eyes .
Before he could respond , I continued , Since we dont love each other anymore , let go .
Theres no need to keep tormenting me .
Itll only make you look petty .
Jeremiah frowned deeply .
There was wrath in his tone as he snapped , What do you mean by letting go ? Are you saying being with me is tormenting ? Yes ! I looked him straight in the eye and admitted to it without hesitation .
Since I was going to make everything clear , I might as well expose all the painful truths .
You stay late at work with Elsa , defend her , and take care of her when shes sick .
Youve done so much for her , but as your wife , what have you done for me ? You forgot my birthday and that Im allergic to roses .
When Im unwell , all you do is tell me to take my meds .
Do you think I cant survive without your reminder to take my meds ? Im telling you , I wont allow a third party in my marriage ! Having bottled up my grievances for so long , letting it all out now felt refreshing .
It was as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted off my chest .
