Tim froze in place, the words echoing in his mind. Dana’s tear-filled eyes confirmed his worst fear. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
“What do you mean you belong to someone else?” he asked, his voice incredulous, almost disbelieving.
Dana started to sob, unable to meet his gaze. “Tim, I…”
“Speak!” he shouted, losing control for a moment, pushed by a surge of jealousy. “Who is he?!”
Her voice trembled as she replied, “His name is Stephan and…”
“How long?” Tim cut her off, his voice cold and demanding. “How long have you ‘belonged’ to this other man?”
“It’s not like that,” she tried to explain, but he raised his voice again, more forceful this time. “I asked you a simple question that I deserve to know: how long?” he repeated, his voice like ice.
Tears flowed down her face
