One word.
Two letters.
But those two letters changed
everything.
It was impossible to predict the impact
I would have on the life of the only woman I'd ever truly loved. No
way to know that I would result in her ruin.
I’d suffer for eternity with the
knowledge that it was me who brought devastation to her doorstep.
Though I deserved the anguish I felt,
to see her suffer was unacceptable.
I would fix this.
Somehow I would prove to her that I
wasn't the monster she thought I was.
Even if it meant becoming a monster in
order to make that happen.
Then the door swung open and there he
was. For a brief moment I was taken by his handsome features—his
olive skin and pronounced jaw, the sparkle in his dark eyes, his
perfect, straight nose. More than anything, it was the pull that
remained between us that surprised me. Like I was a planet still
circling his sun.
There was a moment when we locked eyes
that the gravity of all that had happened wasn’t weighing heavy
between us, and it almost caused me to stumble back.
Then, after the moment of intimacy had
passed, I was sure I saw dread slip over his expression. I wasn’t
going to stay put and find out though.
I wouldn’t be standing on his
doorstep begging for whatever scraps of information he deemed worthy
of casting my way. No, I was here to demand what he, at the very
least, owed me, and I wouldn’t leave until he gave it to me.
“We need to talk.” I pushed past
him, careful not to make contact, and bolted down the hallway toward
the living room.
“Emily, this isn’t a good time.”
Marco’s footsteps followed quickly behind me.
“I don’t care. Put aside whatever
it is you’re doing. I want answers.”
I came to an abrupt stop when I stepped
into the living/dining area and found Alexa sprawled across the couch
like she was a feast ready to be enjoyed.
Her blouse was half unbuttoned, her
legs draped over the cushions, causing her skirt to ride up a bit on
her thighs, and her lips slightly swollen. Her lipstick had been
rubbed off her mouth and onto her skin. She wore a saccharine smile
that I wanted to rip off her face.
I crossed my arms over my chest and
turned back to Marco. “Oh, I see. Well, pardon me for
interrupting.” There was no disguising the venom in my voice.
His tortured gazed darted from me to
her and back a few times before he schooled his features and
responded. “Can we have this conversation some other time?” he
asked, his voice neutral.
“Marco, who’s this?” Alexa purred
from behind me.
I spun to address her with a fake smile
on my face. “I’m Emily. We met at the art show a few months ago
when I was there with Marco. Back when we were still fucking. You can
call me Brandi, though.” I turned to lock gazes with him before
finishing. “Everyone who knows me intimately does.”
His fists clenched at his sides and his
jaw tightened. Good. Some small part of me was pleased that I was
still able to elicit a reaction like that from him.
I swung my attention back to the blonde
on the couch. “I’m sorry to swing by unannounced like this and
interrupt what was obviously going to be a good time for you both. I
just need a few minutes with Marco, and then I’ll be out of your
hair.”
Alexa’s eyes narrowed on me for a
moment, and though she was playing nice with me—probably for
Marco’s benefit—it was clear she wasn’t pleased with the
interruption.
“Perhaps I should go,” she said.
“No!” Marco said, whip fast. “Emily
should be the one to leave.”
Not going to lie.
That stung.
A lot.
No matter that everything between Marco
and I had been based on lies, the fact that I was so easily tossed
aside smarted.
“I’m not going anywhere until we
speak.” I leveled him with a gaze that told him I was serious.
“Why don’t you use my bathroom to
freshen up, Alexa? It’s that way through my bedroom.” He pointed
toward the room that we’d spent many a night in. “I’ll meet you
there in a few minutes.”
A victorious
smile crept across her face, and her gaze swung to me as she rose
from the couch. She brushed her fingers across Marco’s chest as she
passed him. “Don’t be too long.”
He nodded but didn’t spare her a
glance as she passed, his gaze still fixed on me.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, I
spoke. “Sorry to interrupt your play time, Marco, but you owe me
some answers and I’m ready to collect.”
Haven’t met Marco Valenti yet, Now is
your chance!
