CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
LEXI
––––––––
Iclimb into the Uberafter my bags are loaded into the trunk and wipe the tear that leaks out.
I wanted so much to say goodbye to Mason, but the truth is, it would’ve been much harder.
Saying goodbye to Emily was difficult enough, but I’ll speak to her every day.
I can’t be here another minute.
In this city.
In this country.
In a world where Mason looks at me with a million feelings and does nothing.Where I see him moving on with his happy life one day soon, believing I’m some criminal who is a threat to his finances.
I want his heart.
Also, that lovely cock...but mostly his heart.
I want him to look at me like I’m the person who will wear his ring, summer in his Hamptons house, hold his hand at weddings and go home to make love.
Instead, all I see is desire and regret.
When I was saying goodbye to Emily and Sebastian privately a little earlier, Seb offered to help me fight to clear my name.
In other words, pay for some fancy lawyers.
I can’t take it.He’s doing it out of obligation to Emily, and while I appreciate it, I guess I’m too proud.
When I get back to England, I’ll find a job quickly, deal with my parents' judgement and connect with some other friends.I’ll piece my life back together.
I’m a survivor.
I won’t quit.
I won’t let this destroy me.
Perhaps in six months I’ll reach out to Mason and ask if he’ll be a referee so I can get a personal assistant role again.This might just be a big lumpy bump in the long road of my life.
I’ll survive.
The driver closes his door, and we start to pull away from the entrance of the hotel when I take one last glance.
