“What?”
He shrugs, “I'm still trying to figure out why you kissed her. Where did you guys even meet?”
“It was at the club. My tipsy self thought it would be a good idea to keep her company and probably apologize.”
“Forget apologizing to her. You have just added to your list of offenses in her book. If Nala learns about this, she will have your head.”
The mention of my sister brings a smile to my face. She's the only one apart from Chris who can knock some sense into me.
“When is she coming to pay you a visit? I've missed her sassy self.”
“She hasn't given me a date,” I reply. “Knowing Nala, she's going to pop up without a warning.” We laugh, and I'm glad the weight in my chest has decreased.
“I have to get going now,” Luke announces, standing up.
“Me too.” I stand up as well, satisfied with my neatly arranged files on the desk, and we walk out together.
The drive home is swift and quiet. I look at Gianna's apartment, and luckily for me, she's outside.
But she's not alone. A man is standing in front of her, pinning her against the iron gates.
“Stop the car!”
“What?” my driver questions, looking at me through the rearview mirror.
“I said stop the car.”
Chapter 5
Gianna
Work has been hectic today. I have gone over three clients today, and I have a migraine. Thankfully, my boss let us go early, but I know tomorrow will be more hectic. Apparently, we have a big client coming in.
As I near my apartment, I see a strange car parked in front of my apartment's gate. Thinking it's probably one of my neighbors' visitors, I pass by it to open the gate.
“My love,” I hear from close by.
No, please, no. Not him. No.
I inwardly panic. I clumsily try to open the gate as I sense him come nearer.
He holds my arm and turns me to face him. My heart hurts as I face my ex-boyfriend, Kendrick. The man who shattered my belief in love.
“Why do you keep running away from me, my love?” He's smiling at me as if nothing went wrong. As if we are okay.
“Don't touch me.” I wriggle out of his hold, but he's still smiling. “Why are you here? I thought I made it clear that I don't want to see you anymore.”
“You broke up with me. I didn't want it to end,” he says through gritted teeth.
I stare blankly at him, wondering why I dated such a dumb individual. I must have been so desperate to have a boyfriend that I fell into the wrong hands.
“Love, I cut all contact with her. It was just once. Just one time and you gave up on me, on us.”
“I don't give a damn what happened. I already let you go. Free me,” I plead.
“Free you?” He repeats, looking mad.
If there's one thing I always avoided, it's making Kendrick mad. His anger is uncontrollable. You just have to avoid him when he's angry.
