    Chapter 260 What Did Our Two–Year Marriage Even Mean?


    I could not quite catch what he was really trying to say, so I justid it out straight. “Look, we’re not


    husband and wife anymore. It’s not right for you to get tangled up in my mess, especially since our


    divorce is bound toe out eventually. If it’s going to happen anyway, why not just get it over with


    when it’s necessary?”


    He did not say a word, just gave me this intense stare that seemed to go on forever before he finally


    spoke up. “Are you that scared of being linked to me that you can’t wait to cut ties?”


    I scrunched my eyebrows, feeling the anger bubbling under his words, and took a deep breath before


    replying, “We don’t have anything between us now.”

    “Yvette!” His voice spiked as he stood up, his tall, lean figure casting a shadow, his good looks marred


    by unmistakable fury and disappointment. “What did our two years of marriage even mean to you?”


    I did not get why he was so worked up. I kept my cool and met his gaze. “Sure, we were married, Idris,


    but have you forgotten? I have been the wife I was supposed to be for the past. two years. What about


    you? Have you been the husband you were supposed to be? You’re nice to me now because you


    found out I am the one who saved your life back then. But what if it had been Moore who saved you?


    Would you still be this good to me? Would you still go out of your way to save me? Would you still rush


    to my aid without a second thought?”


    I was not oblivious to the way Idris had been acting differently around metely, but I knew better than


    anyone why he had changed. It was all because of that old debt of gratitude.


    It did not matter who the person from the past was. He would have been just as devoted to her. It had


    nothing to do with me, nor was it rted to whether we had been married or not.


    Seeing the shock in his eyes and the anger melting away, I almostughed. I did not need his answer; I


    already knew it.


    Yes, his kindness to me was not because I was Yvette, his former wife. It was because I had once


    risked my life to save his. All he was doing was returning the favor, in and simple.


    I did not hear him answer. I took a small breath and said calmly, “You can go now. Our divorce is out in


    the open, thanks to Marcus, so you and I are done. When you saved my life yesterday, we got even.


    We’re square, with no debts between us. This mess is not yours to fix. I trust the


    cops


    will sort it out and find the truth.”


    I got up to leave, but then he said something unexpected, “What if it wasn’t because you saved me?”


    I froze, turned around, and looked into his deep, shadowy eyes, puzzled. “What?”


    He just gazed at me, took a deep breath, and said, “Anyone can repay a favor, but you’ve always been


    the only one for me.”


    I was lost, my brow furrowed in confusion. “Idris, we’re divorced,” I reminded him.


    “So what?” he shot back, his gaze intense and stubborn. “You’re single, I’m single. We have all the time


    in the world.”


    Speechless, I wondered what he was getting at…

    I could not guess what he really ineant, and my mouth hung open, yet no words came out. He did not


    seem to expect any, just looked at me and said, “I won’t let you stay here long.”


    With that, he walked out of the room.


    I stood there, dazed. What did he mean by ‘all the time in the world‘?


    Noah’s death had cast an invisible over me. Although I had figured Moore would corner me in this


    alley, I never imagined it would be this suffocating.


    The forensic team came up empty–handed. There was not a shred of evidence on Noah’s body tying


    his death to Moore, nor could they clear my name. Moore and I were at a stalemate, each of us


    pointing fingers at the other, adamant that the other was Noah’s killer.


    We found ourselves stuck as a result.


    As the hours slipped by, the buzz outside grew into a roar. The cops were caught in a bind, too wary to


    let me walk free, yet not convinced enough to p the cuffs on me as the murderer.


    With no other cards to y, at dawn’s first light, the police brought Moore and me face–to- face for a


    showdown.
