As she dressed, she said, "Don't blyourself. We are both adults, responsible for our own choices. Without you, things could have been a lot worse fortoday. I didn't exactly ask for this. Honestly, I should be thanking you. I know that if you had the antidote, you wouldn't have done this." Jake remained silent. He was abruptly gripped by a peculiar sense of abandonment. He couldn't help but feel she didn't want to take responsibility after having sex with him.

His eight-pack abs and well-defined muscles were clearly visible, veins subtly tracing under his skin. The blanket fell just past his V-line. Jake had plenty to say, but in the end, all that escaped him was a soft, rueful laugh. “You seem to be handling this situation remarkably well." Kallie finished dressing and turned to face him, her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill over. In a sudden, jerky movement, she stepped back, sending the glass on the bedside table crashing to the floor.
Without hesitation, Kallie grabbed a shard of glass and pressed it against her neck. A thin, red line appeared on her pale skin with just slight pressure.
Jake's heart pounded in his chest as if it were about to leap out. He quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his waist. Panic surged through him as he rushed toward Kallie.
"Don't move!" Kallie cried out, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her cheeks. “I feel just the opposite of calm. My reputation means everything to me, and right now, I'm in agony because you're not the man I love. I didn't even know you before this moment. I refuse to be labeled as just a loose woman. Today, it seems, is my unlucky day, but I can't bear to continue living like this." Jake's heart raced as he saw the desperation in Kallie's eyes. He could tell she was about to do something drastic.
In a fit of desperation, he blurted out, "How can you claim not to know me? I'm the father of your daughter, your ex-husband! We only ended up in bed by accident. If you hateso much, I'll disappear from your life forever. But please, don't do this!" Kallie froze at his words.
Jake took a cautious step forward, gently grasping her wrist and carefully extracting the shard of glass.

The coldness in her eyes made him frown. He asked with a voice filled with bitterness, "When did you find out?"
