Chapter 5

First, I slapped Fintan hard across the face, and just as Jolene was about to scream, I slapped her too.

"I wish you two dogs a long and happy life together!"

I strode quickly towards the exit of the venue, with Fintan yelling hoarsely behind me.

"Freesia, get back here and apologize to Jolene!"

"Don't play hard to get with me, don't think I'll come running back to you!"

I paused mid-step, then turned and walked back.

Fintan looked at me with a smug expression that said, "I knew you didn't have it in you."

I grabbed a decorative flower column from the stage with one hand and knocked Fintan flat on his ass with a single blow.

Then I swung back around, sweeping Jolene off her feet too, leaving them in a tangled, yelping heap together.

Did you think this fitness instructor was all talk and no action?!

"If you ever dare show your faces to me again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

With that, I left without looking back.

The first thing I did was go to the hospital.
