The Single Mom Who Toyed With Married Men Chapter 05

Something heavy hit the door from the other side. A dull, metallic crack.

Someone had found a hammer. Each swing rang through the apartment like a gunshot.

Nathaniel stepped in front of me, eyes locked on the door rattling in its frame.

Three minutes.

The elevator chimed.

Mr. Davis’s voice tore through the hallway a second later, backed by the heavy boots of building security.

“Hey! Knock it off! All of you, back away from that door!”

I pushed the handle down and opened the door.

The hallway was packed.

Harrison stood there with a claw hammer raised, face flushed.

Mrs. Foster sat on the floor across the hall, Leo still sobbing in her arms.

Chloe was slumped against the wall, eyes half-shut, barely holding on. Or pretending to.

The second the door opened, Harrison jabbed the hammer toward us. “Oh, NOW you come out? A woman collapses at your door and you just sit in there and do nothing?”

Nathaniel moved forward, but I stepped in front of him.

I moved into the doorway, looked past Harrison, and found Mr. Davis. He was drenched in sweat.

“Mr. Davis. Did you watch the video I sent?”

I said it loud enough for every person in that hallway to hear.

Mr. Davis nodded, clutching a tablet to his chest. He shot a look at Chloe that was hard to read. “I’ve seen it,

Mrs. Hayes. I brought everything.”

“Good. Play it.”

Chloe’s eyes snapped open.

She tried to push herself up, and her voice, so faint a moment ago, found a new edge. “Mr. Davis, what video?

I just felt dizzy and came to ask Mr. Hayes for help. What is all this…”

I didn’t blink. “Just jogging your memory about how you fainted.” I turned to Mr. Davis. “Play it.”
