Chapter 6

The police arrived quickly and, after understanding my need to file a report, showed sympathy on their faces.

"Don't worry, if the situation is as you described, we'll summon them soon."

The taxi driver who brought me here also chimed in indignantly:

"This is utterly shameless. Sharing a bed for five years, and then hurting you so deeply because of an outsider."

"Bro, you've got too much endurance. Otherwise, I bet you would've knocked them flat already."

I gave a bitter smile.

Mr. Montgomery, the driver, wasn't wrong. Due to my regular workouts, if I had decided to take physical actions, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

But I couldn't.

Apart from Alec, one was an elderly person, and the other was my wedded wife.

How could I bring myself to raise a hand against them?

Of course, if Melody hadn't held me back, Alec would've been on the floor, if not with a bruised face, at least knocked down.
