“I hope you live the most miserable existence,” I leer, not able to stop myself from speaking my mind. “What an absolute disappointment you became in my life.”

I meet her gaze and a tear falls to her high cheekbones, but I don’t spend anytime retracting or dwelling on what I had just said.

No, rage just checked in to my heart, and it’s not looking to leave anytime soon.

“Not as much as you’ve been to mine when you told me you fucked your sister,” she clips back, and I feel all the blood rush from my head.

It’s the final straw.

The way shereallyfelt about that story. My vulnerability and openness finally came back to bite me in the ass.

I’m nothing to her but someone with a dick to get off on. It was stupid and naive of me to believe for a moment that she actually was falling in love with me.

That she would’ve chosen me without a Titan seat and a big name to stroke my cock to.

This was always a means to an end.

“So, you are a ruthless bitch,” I fume back. “Just like Cairo said.” I push my cheek out with my tongue and force my body to fucking leave. “Thanks for releasing me, McQueen. Now I can hate-fuck the blonde waiting for me on my phone and not absorb any sort of qualms or feelings behind it.”

“Reeve—”

“Don’tsay my fucking name ever again,” I bark out at her, glowering down at the raven beauty who just crushed me with one merciless sentence. “You’ll never,everget another piece of me. I’m fuckin’deadto you.”

Her nostrils flare as she raises the cute little chin of hers, but Bay doesn’t give me anything else to feed on. To hate her for.

So I keep ramping up with anything possible to make her feel as uncomfortable as I do again in my own skin.

“I guess I’ll see you around Friday night dinners then.”

Bay immediately glowers at me. “No, you’re not. Because you’re not coming. This severs all ties.”

“But I still got all the ties with Torin, baby. And I always show up to his rescue.”

“Wanna bet?”

“I don’t bet with wastes of time, but I can guarantee. But, you’re more than welcome to try to stop me, McQueen.”

And with that, I stride out of the garage, plucking my phone out of my jean’s pocket to reach out to the blonde, Macie, who’s been feening for my dick for weeks.

She wants to replace Bay. Wants to smoke and get high and fuck.

I’m all down for that.

Just not with one woman anymore.

I want them all.

SIXTY-FIVE

The last eighthours have been a blur of going to see Levi in jail, getting pestered by Sheriff fucking Muncy, and the constant worry of Ellie and Mae.

Then there’s the heartache.

The piercing, stabbing pain in my gut that twists and turns and demands nothing less than to hollow me out.

I knew I would break both Reeve and I when I signed that marriage license with tears in my eyes. All I saw was the line and the blue sticker that saidsign here.
