Then I shake my head.

“Let me catch up for a minute. Last night I made love to you. I wake up with you in my arms, jump in the shower, and then...”

She stares at me blankly.

“Molly. Fill in the gaps.” I growl then glance up and smile at one of my uncles. Her eyes are on the ground when I look back. “What—”

“Molly! Photos.” Bella calls out.

Before I can stop her, she turns and disappears.

Motherfucker.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

MOLLY

––––––––

The entire wedding was beautiful. Payton hasn’t stopped smiling and I’m certain she’s going to have a sore face tomorrow.

Totally worth it.

I’ve never seen two people more in love.

Knox is besotted with her.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working toward an academy award pretending I’m having a great time and ignoring Atlas, who is staring daggers at me.

Today was not the day to confront him or discuss this. We’ve both had roles to play and other people to think of.

I saw Levi glance between us at one point and I’m sure he knows we’ve been sleeping together. In saying that, he’s been surrounded by a number of young women who seem to be throwing themselves at him.

Shameless.

Is that how I looked all weekend?

I know he’s confused, and I don’t blame him for being annoyed with me. Then I remember Harlow’s text message and all I can think isfuck you, asshole.

Steve’s face flashes in and out.

I just want to go home.

I don’t want to see Atlas again, and I am over dating men.

From now on I’m focusing on Brand Alchemy and making it a success. My goal is to set myself up financially. Love can happen later.

I probably need some therapy before I can attract the right man. It sure didn’t happen this weekend.

Don’t they say that what you think on the inside manifests on the outside?

Whatever it is that I do to attract disloyal men needs to change.

He’s all yours, Harlow.

I sip the last of my champagne and glance around. For once, I don’t see Atlas shooting daggers my way, so I excuse myself from the conversation I’ve been having then make my way into the house to use the restroom.

I’m just about to round the corner inside the house when I hear two male voices.
