Page 80 of Billionaire Unreachable: Wyatt

“I do. But this doesn’t make sense, Wyatt. It’s after three and you can’t give me a clue about where you’re going? Is something wrong with your family or our friends?”

He leaned down and gave me a brief kiss. “They’re all fine. I’m sorry. I hate like hell to do this, but I have to get going. I promise that I’ll tell you everything as soon as we see each other again. It’s not something I really want to discuss on the phone.”

Okay, what in the world is going on with him?

This was not the Wyatt I’d gotten to know and adore.

As he strode toward the door, I said, “Please tell me this has nothing to do with another woman.”

The words had come out of my mouth before I could think about them.

Maybe they were a knee-jerk reaction to all of the secrecy that I couldn’t even begin to understand.

Maybe they were a product of my past and being cheated on in both of my only other committed relationships.

Maybe they had slipped out because I suddenly remembered the night of the break-in, when Wyatt had been mysteriously out late at night for no apparent reason with Xena.

What possible reason could he have for leaving in the middle of the night to go somewhere that he couldn’t tell me about?

Wyatt turned as he reached the door. “If you need me to tell you that, then you really don’t trust me.”

The tone of his voice had been cool and stoic, and he didn’t say another word as he walked out the bedroom door.

I supposed that I could go after him and apologize, but I had no idea what to think right now.

In the end, he hadn’t given me the assurance that I’d wanted, which only made me more confused.

It wasn’t his family or friends.

It wasn’t work.

He didn’t exactly deny that he was leaving to go to someone else.

It was after three in the morning, and he had to leave for an urgent situation?

If his weird behavior didn’t haveanother womanwritten all over it, what did?

Tears began to trickle down my face, and my heart felt completely crushed by his words.

Because…

“Dammit!” I said out loud to the empty room.

I was in love with Wyatt Durand.

I’d known that for a while now, but it had seemed too soon to say those words out loud, and I had no idea whether Wyatt felt the same way.

I knew he cared about me, and I knew that he was definitely attracted to me, but love?

I wasn’t even sure that Wyatt believed in love.

He was a guy who wasn’t even sure he had a heart.

Our relationship had progressed so easily, so naturally, so damn perfectly that I hadn’t wanted to spoil it by jumping the gun.

Now, I was kind of glad that I hadn’t said it out loud because I’d feel even more rejected and vulnerable than I did right now.

There is absolutely no proof that Wyatt is with another woman!
