A low chuckle came from Melissa, her anger seeping out to her voice.

"Was that really necessary? Do you know how heartbroken Janet is?"

Marcus' hands stopped their movements and he put down the kitchen knife.

His deep eyes turned to Melissa. "Then tell me one thing. Has Shawn always been loyal to Janet? Has he never betrayed her even once in all these years they were together? If you can tell me yes, then I'll apologize."

Melissa knew that Marcus was being unreasonable, but she couldn't find words to refute it.
