I hear him, and he’s right. Things are different for him, and what we did can’t be undone.
Evie might not say anything, but now that people know who she is, there’s no end of possibilities of how we could be found out.
And still, I’m thinking of her.
Why did she do it?
“Georgiou, what the hell did she need that money for?”
“I don’t want to talk about it, Henry.”
“But we fell for the same girl,” I say it blatant and plain.
He narrows his eyes at me. “I can’t talk about that right now either.”
“Why the fuck not? You don’t want to try and get to the bottom of why she did what she did?”
“No, I don’t. Do you want to know why? Because she knew who we were when she saw us at the auction. She knew this was a big fucking lie that could blow up in our faces.”
“Georgiou, we bid on her. She didn’t know that part. She wouldn’t have known that we were going to be there, much less bid on her. We picked her before she even stood on the block, and when we saw her, we decided she was going to be ours.”
The light comes back into his eyes, but it’s gone a second later.
“I got to get out of here.” He sighs. “I need to calm the fuck down before I do something I’ll regret.”
He walks out, and the next thing I hear is the front door slamming shut.
He takes the motorcycle, which probably means he’s either going to a bar or a club and will probably end up getting pussy to forget the shit.
I can’t do that this time.
I walk into the living room and sit down so I can think.
Evie is stinking rich and the heiress to fortunes untold. But that’s not her money; it’s her father’s.
She has to do what she’s told.
She and Peter didn’t exactly look like the happy couple. She looked like she wanted to run away from him.
What if that was it?
Escaping.
I remember her wrist and the bruise on it. Did he do that to her?
With what we know about Peter, I don’t even know why I’m asking myself that question.
We’re supposed to see her tomorrow, but we can’t.
It’s over.
It’s fucking over, and even if we wanted to, we couldn’t take the risk and continue this relationship that should never have started.
I just wish I could believe that.
