Chapter 51; Sinclair

Sinclair I want out.As I decided in my head I felt peace.It was for the best. I glanced at her and shook my head. We had to go our separate ways. I couldn't keep pretending. The peace that filled my heart at the decision quickly turned into anger. I hated how manipulated and dumb I felt. The fact that it was done by someone that I thought loved me hurt even further.I shot to my feet. She looked at me.“I'd like to leave,” I said and waited for a response. She paused and then stood with me. “Let's go.” What? I watched her pack her bag. “Let's go. I need rest.” I flinched.Rest.I thought she would have at least missed me enough to want to spend time with me but her answer just told me she didn't..I stiffly nodded and walked towards the exit, not waiting to see if she was following me.I reached my car, unlocked the door then waited for her to get in. Once she did I immediately drove out. The haste at which I drove threw her off but she immediately regained her composure.I s

Chapter 52; London

London I sat up on the bed and stared into space. It was hard to imagine that a few minutes ago I had a man who loved me- even though it was a lie. I sighed and pulled the pillow up to my chest. Everything inside of me hurts. Throughout the day, I had moved through the motions, not hurting, barely panicking but now it felt like I was bursting at my seams.The pain I didn't feel when I walked away from Sin was clawing at my chest, wanting to see the light.I placed a hand on my chest and breathed heavily. I knew it was only a matter of time before the pain would come but I didn't think that it would hurt that much.Maybe I was just as naive as my sister thinks I am.I placed my hand on my head and tried to control my breathing.Emotions built up in me and my memory slowly came undone.It all came back to me.How he would want to be with me. Be around me and how I would cling to him because I liked him.I remembered his stares that made me blush and how he made me feel seen.I jumpe

Chapter 53; Sinclair

SinclairI groaned and wiped my eyes as I woke up. I glanced around the room and saw it was empty.It looked like nothing happened yesterday.It looked like the Albright sisters didn't drag my heart through the mud yesterday.Bitterness filled my heart as I remembered the argument I had with Cathleen in the night. “How did I fall for someone like her?” I asked out loud. I stood for a few seconds then shook my head. There was no need to brood on it, she was gone. She was out of my life forever.“Good riddance.” I hissed.I shook my head and pulled myself to the bathroom. “The earlier I leave. The better.” In a few minutes, I was dressed. I got my clothes and shoes, then packed them. I walked around the room to make sure I didn't leave anything behind then nodded.I went to the receptionist and handed her the keys, “Cathleen Albright will be back for her clothes today.”Or maybe not. I hope she never comes back.“Keep them safe for her.” She gave me a single sharp nod, I felt her eyes

Chapter 54; London

London I woke up to the noise of knocking on my door. I stretched on the bed and blinked, taking my time to adjust to the light of the day. I rubbed my aching neck and stretched my limbs again. “I finally fell asleep.” The knocking intensified and I pushed myself to open it thinking it was Cathleen coming to kick me out. I opened the door and froze when I saw who was standing there. “E..E…Eva.” She nodded at me with a grim look on her face. “Can I come in?” I nodded, speechless. How did she…? She entered and glanced around the room. I stared at her as she walked around making herself comfortable. She patted the sheets and mumbled, “She has good taste.” She? I panicked and jumped to fix it. “I ordered the hotel, Eva. I don't know what you're talking about.” “Ordered?” She raised a brow and patted the pillow. Shit. I cursed. I bit my lips and let out a nervous laugh. “I…I meant reserved. I reserved this hotel myself. That was just a slip of tongue. I didn't mean t

Chapter 55; London

LondonI was now a proud, card carrying member of the love sucked community. Because there were no wins when you were in love at least not in my situation. I had set out to gain one person's Love at the risk of the other and what had I gotten instead? Neither. A sister who didn't give two fucks about me and a man who didn't know about my existence. Was it fair?I couldn't answer that question even if my life depended on it. For some of us, life could never be fair. It was people like Cath that ended up eating her cake and still having it. "Stop thinking about it so hard." Eva said.I turned to face her as the car flew down the highway, carrying me back to my old life. A life that I had left to crash and burn while I was away falling in love. Falling in love like a damn fool. I chuckled bitterly."Did you hear me?" She asked. Huge sunglasses covered her eyes and she was dressed impeccably in navy slacks and a sky blue silk blouse. I suddenly remembered her saying she had had a crush

Chapter 56; Sinclair

SinclairNew York felt different. Cold and unwelcoming. It didn't feel like home anymore. My apartment felt too cold and clinical for my liking. My whole body and soul revolted against being here without London. I wanted to take it back to forty eight hours ago when it has been just us. Before Cathleen had appeared and ruined everything. She didn't even say goodbye. I pushed the silly thought away. Of course she couldn't have said goodbye. I wasn't supposed to know that she had been there with me. She didn't know I knew. My phone pinged with a new email as it had been doing since I stepped foot in new York. All the business I had put on the back burner while I was off falling in love demanding my immediate attention now. I was yet to remove Harper from the position of my assistant and wondered if I should even bother anymore. London who had had a problem with her was no where near me. But truly, Harper was over due a better position. I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose. The

Chapter 57; Sinclair

SinclairI hate it here.The thought jumped to my subconscious and I gritted my teeth as I walked into the building where I worked.I felt eyes on me as I walked past a handful of employees. The eyes watched me walk, staring from my feet to the hair of my head.I let out a breath as I walked out of their sight. I looked back only to see them whispering.I winced.I was going to be a source of entertainment to them today and I knew why.I looked terrible.While I didn't break the dress code of the office by wearing Crocs, caps or shiny attention-calling gold chains, I didn't look my best.My suit wasn't as colour-coordinated as it would be on a normal day. My hair had seen better days. It was rough like I had run my hands through it multiple times even though it was only eight o'clock in the morning.My tie hung loosely around my neck. Loose enough to show I didn't care but not loose enough to call HR’s attention.I knew how I looked. I just didn't care.An employee walked past me and

Chapter 58; London

LondonI pulled down my gown and let out a breath as I walked into the club.I walked around till I saw a female server. She wore a bright pink uniform and smiled as she served the customers. I waited till she was done before I went to her.“Excuse me.”“Yes.” She balanced a tray of empty drinks and looked at me.“I'm here for the interview.” Her face broke into a smile. “You're here for the interview!”I forced a smile on my face and nodded, “Yes. I am.” “Come with me. I'll take you to the boss lady.” I followed her and we weaved through crowds of servers and clients. She stole a glance at my legs, and then my face. She looked into my eyes and smiled.I tried to say something but she beat me to it and said, “This is the office.” She pointed at the door.I nodded and knocked. “Come in.” The person inside said. I let out a breath and walked in. The first thing that assaulted my senses was the smell. The room smelled like a store for rotten food. I held my breath and started breath

Chapter 59;Sinclair

I got into my car and drove home. While on the road, I rolled down my windows to let the air rush in, wanting to cool myself down. I thought back to the way I treated Harper earlier and cringed. That wasn't me. That wasn't how I behaved. The wind whipped my face as I drove at high speed. I waited for my heart rate to increase, I waited for the rush of adrenaline, I waited for the spike of excitement that driving at high speed promised but all I got was a sad, depressing feeling in my chest. “Disappointing,” I murmured. I switched on the radio, to distract myself from my thoughts. A calm instrumental was played on the station I was listening to. I listened to it and my lips curved on their own accord. “The flute. It's so relaxing.” The flute kept playing for about five minutes. I had already passed my house and was just driving but I didn't care. I needed it. The flute stopped playing for a while and the radio commentator’s voice filled my car, “That wonderful sound you just he

Chapter 60; London

My alarm went off a few minutes to six. I woke up with an irritated groan, no longer used to the early mornings after my one week of waking up whenever the fuck I wanted. I had luckily been able to get back my dog walking gigs, combined with my new job at the club I was back to being afloat, and I used that term loosely. I swung out of bed and made my way to the kitchen. I turned on the kettle and dug out a clean mug. I headed to the bathroom while I waited for the water to boil.. Splashing cold water on my face did little to wake me up fully. I brushed quickly before walking back to the kitchen. As soon as that first hit of coffee hit my bloodstream, I began to feel alive. I stood against the kitchen cabinet and gulped the whole cup down before going to get dressed. A while later I was leaving my apartment in a T-shirt, leggings and sneakers combo. Most of the dogs I walked were from the nicer neighborhood three blocks away. It was on the way to the dog park so I hacked a route and
