  79. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A pinch of guilt surged through me, but I composed myself soon. I didn’t care. He could go to hell for all I cared.

“Oh! That explains his desperation,” she mumbled. “I’ve never seen someone so miserable, to be honest.”

“Are you siding with him again, Cassie? I can’t believe you!” I fumed. Whose friend was she here?

“Of course not! How can I? Whatever he did was extremely wrong! He shouldn’t have done it even though he only wanted your well-being.”

“Cassandra!”

“All right, all right. I’m sorry. I won’t say anything now. Are you okay, though? I have to tell him something when he calls me again,” she asked, sighing. Though there was concern in her voice, it only oiled my anger. She was somehow still supporting him. I’d blocked him in every way possible, and now he was trying to reach me through Tess and Cassie.

“You know what? I’m putting the phone down. You can talk to that prick all you want!” I cut the call and threw my phone on the bed.

That man! How dare he? He was now taking my friend on his side? The nerve! I didn’t understand why no one was seeing what heartache I was going through. They were just seeing his misery. His pain.

Covering my face with my hands, I took deep breaths, trying to calm down my boiling rage. But it wasn’t helping. As if the heartache blew more wind into it.

The bell of the door made my heart skip.

Is it him again?

I didn’t want any drama before Mom and Dad. But I didn’t think he’d do it after what I’d said. But not believing my instincts, I ran downstairs before anyone else could attend the door. I’d just flip him off and send him back if he dares to show up on my—

The moment I opened the door, I was shocked. But for an entirely different reason. The man that stood before me was someone I didn’t ever think would come back to my threshold again.

Warner.

THIRTY-EIGHT: SURPRISE VISIT

“Warner?” I stared at him in shock and surprise.

He called and messaged last night, but through all this going on, I couldn’t check his message. And now, seeing him standing before me rose the guilt inside me again.

“Hey!” Tucking a strand behind my ear, I greeted him with an awkward stance.

His brown orbs roamed my features, a frown set between his brows. “You all right? You seem… not well.”

Even after what I did, he was still concerned about me. That’s why I didn’t want to lose a friend like him. Before we started dating, he was my best friend in New York.

I had a sudden urge to hug him tight and share all my problems with him. But I knew I couldn’t.
