Only, he didn’t get to finish.

Ridge shut that down.

DON’T!

Quietly, like he’d entered his mind to check on him, Lucian Monroe left. He closed the door behind him, giving Ridge what he wanted.

I’m sorry, Lucian. I didn’t mean that. Please forgive me. I’m just so…angry at her. She betrayed me and lied to me. I slept with her multiple times AFTER him. She let me too. Please don’t leave me.
