My heart was shattered.
I should have known. I never should have trusted anyone, especially my own feelings for a woman.
What the fuck was I thinking?
“West, please…”
“Pack your bag. I’ll have you flown back first thing in the morning.”
I left her there and went to a different wing of the cabin to sleep. The sound of her crying out echoed in my ears the whole fucking night.
By the time dawn arrived, I’d shed my own fair share of tears. But as the sun rose, my anger had too. I was determined to shut down all my feelings for Kaylee.
They were strong and deep and I knew it would take a really long time.
But I was fucking done.
ChapterThirty-Nine
KAYLEE
“How long are you going to mope around?” Violet asked, filling my wine glass.
“As long as it takes, I guess,” I mumbled.
“Kaylee, what can I do?”
“Nothing, I just have to feel this.” I’d been a complete mess since getting back home. I felt terrible.
West hated me now and who could blame him?
“I fucking knew this would happen,” Violet muttered, shaking her head.
“I’ll be okay.” I didn’t want her to worry about me. “I just need to jump back into work. Tomorrow. After I wallow in my misery today.”
“Just keep a low profile for a while,” she said. “I think I should hire a security guard for you.”
“A cop for a cop?”
She laughed, shaking her head. “No, a cop for someone who’s become an unwilling celebrity.”
I sighed, rolling my eyes. “Fucking Danika.”
“Fucking Danika is right. I can’t believe that bitch did that to you.”
“She wasn’t doing it to me. She was doing it to West. She wanted to hurt him. It worked.”
“Well, she’s an evil person. Karma will get her.”
“I hope so.” I wiped the non-stop tears that had been falling from my eyes.
My phone buzzed and I picked it up reluctantly. Hoskins had sent me a text.
If you aren’t too busy fucking your famous boyfriend, bring your ass down to the Playhouse. Now.
“Shit,” I said. “I gotta go.”
“Where?”
