Something about this guy's guise at fake innocence really riles me up. Though truthfully, part of my rage stems from seeing my evil ex. But it doesn't matter. This guy isn't safe, and he doesn't belong around my Caroline.

"You know who. The man who forced himself on your sister, not only making lewd comments but kissing her, forcing her to punch him, causing her to go to emergency surgery. And it's all your fault. You are not welcome anywhere near her, or us."

His face went through a gambit of emotions, and then he moved closer to Caroline, putting his hand on her arm as if to comfort her. What nerve! He whispered to her, "Are you okay, sis?"

She nodded, saying, "I'm fine now. I know you didn't text me."

That's it. I needed to put this no-good phony in his place, and fast. I screamed, "Caroline believes in the good in people far more than you deserve. I want you out of the castle, or I will banish you for good!"

It was excessive. But it made a point. No one else got to mess with Caroline again. We had more than enough trials before the engagement. I would move heaven and earth to make sure our marriage was much healthier and safer.

He drew himself to his full height, taller than me, as he spoke with a very icy tone. "How dare you try to banish me for checking in on my sister. Peppering me with accusations without even stopping to try to verify whether I was involved or not! You are just as shitty as your father!"
