... haven't you?"

"Zach," Brielle pleaded, but Daniel cut her off.

"Oh stop," Daniel spat. "Brielle seems to think you're this sensitive, caring man who is deeply mourning Kali's death and we have to tiptoe around your emotions and trauma."

"Are you kidding me?" Zach asked. "I watched her die, Daniel! I spent almost every bit of time by her bedside while she was dying as I could while nurses did most of the work with Nadya in the NICU! Just because we weren't romantic didn't mean I didn't love her!"

"You want me to be honest?" Daniel asked, and Zach nodded his head. "Kali dying was the best thing for you. The only thing that would have been better is if the eighteen-year baggage upstairs had died with her too."

Diego gasped in revulsion at what he was hearing, standing up himself and only stopping his advance toward Daniel because Zach was in his way. Zach took a step back, his eyes wide as he took that in. He looked like he had been slapped in the face by the information, but it didn't take too long for his eyes to turn calculating. Zayne moved his wheelchair forward, but he didn't have time to do much before Zach went after Daniel, punching him hard in the cheek, which grazed off him and to the side.

"It was an accident," Daniel said as Aspen helped Brielle get to her feet.

"Uh huh, and was Zach's face an accident too?" Brielle asked, which caused Zach to touch his face where wounds were already bleeding freely.

Brinxton stepped forward, addressing Brielle, "Do you want him out of here? Just say the word."

"Zach started the fight!" Daniel cried, but Brielle ignored him and just nodded her head to her brother to say she wanted him out.

"No, you knew his buttons and you pushed them," Zayne pointed out to Daniel angrily. "You knew what you were doing!"

Brinxton didn't waste any effort on talking to Daniel, he simply walked up to him and took a firm grasp on his bicep and began to propel him toward the door, pausing briefly by the coat rack to shove Daniel's coat into his free hand before pulling open the door and practically launching the man out of the house. The softness with which Brinxton closed the door ...
