My husband's whore got a scratch so i got a new husband novel

Nathan Cross and I had this toxic thing for years . Everyone said he was obsessed with me . This guy who walked around like he owned the world would literally do anything for me - smile , cry , even swallow his massive ego . But in our seventh year together , he finally met his " true love . " We had the mother of all fights and called it quits . Five years later , Nathan's back in town for like three days when he decides to white - knight for his new girl and completely wrecks my food truck . Yeah , no . I walked straight up to princess and slapped her . Three times .

Next thing I know , we're both getting arrested . I refused to apologize , so they kept me locked up . He posted bail immediately and strolled out with his girl like nothing happened . Three days later , the cops said they needed to call someone to pick me up . ' Nobody to call , " I told them . " They're all dead . " That's when Nathan shows up with his whole squad , probably expecting some drama . Só I grabbed a metal cup and threw it . Hard . Got myself another week in county . This female cop asked me later , " Why are you so angry all the time ? " I didn't answer . What's the point ?

' m dying anyway . Not gonna waste my last months being fake - nice to people . Plus , Nathan's brother killed my dad . So honestly ? He deserved worse than a cup to the face . At 3 AM , the late - night crowd was finally clearing out from my food truck . I was cleaning up the grill when this blonde girl walked over and started picking through the menu . Chapter 1 Behind her was Jake Miller , one of Nathan's buddies . He saw me and went rigid . " Chloe , maybe we should hit up that 24 - hour diner instead ? " Jake said quietly . Chloe shook her head with this sweet smile .

" It's three in the morning - where else are we gonna find food ? Besides , this truck looks clean . We're good here . " She looked at me . " I'll take two burgers and some fries . Can you make the patties well - done ? My boyfriend doesn't like them pink . " I mumbled " sure " behind my mask , but my hands were shaking as I flipped the burgers . Not from nerves . Or fear . That's what happens when you see your enemy . " Jake , grab us some sodas ? Nathan's coming and we should celebrate being back in town . " Jake's face went stiff . He didn't answer .

He knew damn well Nathan wouldn't be celebrating anything with me around . Chloe didn't notice . She unlocked her phone , showing off some cute couple photo . Nathan's left hand was right there - missing half his pinky finger . I cut that off years ago . Fair's fair though . The scar on my forehead ? That's from when he shoved me into a table . Chloe hit voice message like she wanted the whole world to hear : ' Babe , we're at the food truck on Fifth Street . Hurry up , I'm starving . " Same old tricks after all these years . Like this basic move was supposed to get under my skin .

I seasoned the fries . Hand slipped . Added way too much salt . Whatever . " Nathan , over here ! " Chapter 1 Chloe jumped up , waving at some guy walking over . She ran and threw her arms around him . But through the steam from the grill , Nathan's eyes found mine . He froze for a second . Chloe started to turn around , but he grabbed her face and kissed her before she could look back . I focused on the burgers , flipping them harder than necessary . The smoke made my eyes water . Jake came up to the counter , starting to say something a few times before finally getting out : " Look ...

just leave them alone , okay ? They've been through enough shit to get here , and- " He trailed off , coughing from the smoke . I wasn't really listening anyway . Just kept cooking , throat burning , but my head crystal clear . That's when I heard that familiar voice : " Make sure those are well - done . My girl doesn't like any pink .
