Description
The glass hit the wall before the sentence even finished. Max didn't flinch. He just stood there, chest heaving, eyes burning with that fury Faye had learned to both fear and crave. "You think you can just lie to me, Faye?" His voice cracked - not from weakness, but from something sharper. Betrayal. Faye laughed. The kind of laugh that hurts more than any scream. "You didn't even let me talk, Max. You never do." He slammed his fist against the table. The sound echoed through the Monaco apartment, followed by silence - the dangerous kind. In that silence, she could hear her own heartbeat, frantic and broken. He took one step closer. Then another. "Tell me you didn't sleep with him." "Tell me you trust me." Neither spoke after that. The distance between them burned like fire - until one of them finally reached for the door. That was the night everything detonated. And neither of them had been the same since.
