“Does your new wife know about this? I can’t imagine she’d be happy if she found out her oh so special mate wants another woman,” I say, pinning a hard glare on Andy. I have half of a mind to march into the hallway and tell her myself.I’d hate to break apart her happiness, but no one deserves trash
Fiona POV“I’ll drive you home.”The words come out even as I inwardly curse myself. Driving him home will only expose more of my faults. I haven’t driven a car since before I went to prison. This could be a disaster, but I still accept the keys when we reach his car and when he holds them out to me
“You are, and I wanted to thank you for stepping in earlier and for talking with me now,” I tell him sincerely. Spending the entire ride in silence would have been nerve wracking.“No one has ever told me that before.”“Really? Then they don’t matter,” I say, shaking my head. “I know Chloe thinks so
Fiona POV“Thank you so much!” I call to the lady who’d been helping me. She waves and welcomes me back anytime.After two days of searching, I finally found the necklace. Since Chloe loves high fashion items, I researched some of the brands she loves and found a one-of-a-kind necklace for auction.
I bite my lip, biting back a response, when someone else enters the room. She walks right over and sits in the third chair at the table.“What if it’s not true?” The new woman asks skeptically. “King Nolan hasn’t been married for years, and he hasn’t been seen with Tara in any of that time.”I want
Fiona POVNolan’s table is at least four tables away from ours, and his back is somewhat to us, so he doesn’t see me. I don’t know how to feel about that, but when my eyes land on his date again, a sour feeling turns my stomach.Are they really sleeping together like the news says, or are they just
The waitress quickly brings the bottle of wine and pours each of us a glass before leaving it at the table.“This is a great year, one of the more expensive ones, too,” Billy says, lifting his glass to me before sipping on it. I do the same and then ask him about the online boyfriend. “Right. Well,
Fiona POVI sober up pretty quickly after Tara’s rude words and disgusted sneers. Her outward attitude toward me is so different than how she acts toward Nolan, and it makes me want to puke.Through the mirror, I notice that she touches him a lot. Actually, she touches him entirely too much for my l
Fiona POVLeaning back, I let my body sink beneath the hot water. I soak in the vanilla rose scent, letting the warm and calming bath relax my tense muscles. Since it’s Saturday, I don’t have to worry about anything related to work, and I can just relax.I haven’t had a lot of time to just breathe a
Fiona POVOpening my eyes, I blink against the sunlight coming through the windows. The white ceiling above me rub at my eyes. Where the heck am I? My ceiling is a gross grey color and has weird water stains on it.I gasp, my breath coming in and out too quickly.Unease hits me, and I sit up, lookin
Fiona POVI hurry away from my desk before Nolan can call me to eat lunch with him. For the last three days, he’s found reasons to bring me to his office or out of the building for lunch. Yesterday, we met at his house during lunch time to deal with a party issue.Even though I keep trying to avoid
Fiona POVMaybe I should have waited for the bus.Originally, I hadn’t wanted to wait for the delayed vehicle, and again, I didn’t want to pay for a taxi. Taxi costs have been so high lately that usually, I would rather walk. Everything was fine when I started walking away from the company. There we
Fiona POV“Can I help you, sir?”When I enter, he motions me toward him and turns his computer screen my way as I stop beside his desk.“Which of these letter heads looks more professional for our company?”Did he seriously just ask that?Confusion and annoyance bubble up inside me, and I bite my to
Fiona POVStay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. I keep the mantra on repeat in my head as I work. He’s probably still angry from last night, and with the confusion I feel and the rejection, I don’t exactly want to be anywhere near Nolan. He acted like the kiss wasn’t h
Fiona POVI try so hard to maintain my composure. I’m sure Nolan wouldn’t appreciate me melting into a puddle at his feet, so I take a deep, calming breath because if I don’t, I think my heart will jump right out of my chest.“Isn’t that actress your girlfriend? You should be taking her to the party
Nolan’s jaw ticks as he turns his gaze on me, “The meeting has been moved up, so I need these done tonight. You can take them to your desk and sort them.”With that, he takes a seat at his desk, turns his computer on, and waves me off. I sigh and scoop up the pile of papers while wobbling out to my
