"Cut the bullshit Ella. You honestly think that now after you got what you wanted I'm going to believe you still want to play the doting girlfriend? What the fuck makes you think I'd even go along with that?" His green eyes darken with rage but I'm not sure what it is he's so upset about.

"You said you would support me." The words tremble as they leave my mouth. He told me that he wanted me to give in the best article that I could so why is he now saying he doesn't want to continue anything with me.

"Support you!" Percy bellows causing me to flinch. He stands, keeping my gaze. "You think I would support you after you tried to destroy me? After you destroyed my family? Do you honestly fucking think that I'd want anything to do with you?"

I take a step back away from him and put my hands up in surrender, It's obvious something other than what I know is happening. Percy isn't a rash man. "Percy I don't understand. What are you talking about? How have I tried to destroy you? I thought you wanted this? You were the one that told me to go on and publish it." I try not to sound threatening but I can't keep the anger out of my tone.

"Yeah I did. You duped the fuck out of me. Well I'm happy to say I'll never fall for that shit again. Get the hell out of my house before I call the police." He sneers at me before he turns his back on me.

My mind spins as I do my best not to take what he's saying to heart. I'm not going to just give up on us. I take a few more steps in his direction ignoring his previous order for me to leave. "Percy, I'm not going to leave. I want us to work. I know you want that too. I know you-"

He turns around and throws the cup he has in his hand against the wall, I scream and jump back to get away from the crazy man standing in front of me.

"You know me? What in the hell makes you think that you know me, because you followed me around a few days? Or maybe it's because we fucked? You just know how well my cock fits in your pussy. That's all you know Ella."

My gut clenches with disbelief. He's never even in the beginning when he couldn't stand me for forcing him into the interview, he's never talked to me like this.

"Percy, I don't know where in the hell you get off talking to me like this but I'm not going to stand for it." I clench my fists by my sides and take another step towards him trying one last time to figure out what it is that he's so upset about. "Why are you being like this? Did something happen that I don't know about. We were fine earlier."

"Fine?" He chuckles lightly at first until the chuckles turn into full on hysterical laughter. "Fine! Yeah, I fucking thought so Ella. I thought we were more than fucking fine but seems like I was wrong. I'm going to give you one more chance to get the hell out of my space before I call the cops. Though that's probably what you want. More of a way for you to destroy me in the media."

Destroy him? I have no idea what he's talking about but there's one thing I know for a fact is that I'd never do anything to intentionally hurt him.

"Percy, you know I'd never do that. You know me." My voice wavers and I try my best to step around the broken shards of glass on the ground.

The hysterics have gone away and now Percy stalks over to where I am, he grabs my arm and forcefully pulls me toward the front door. "Percy, you're hurting me!" I hiss and try to yank out of his grip.

Pushing me out the door, I stumble and land on my ass in complete shock and anger.

"Take it up with my lawyer. He'll be in touch." He sneers at me before he closes the door in my face. Shutting any hope of a having a relationship with him along with it.

Nothing prepared me for this.Nothing prepared me for the aching, ragged tears that line my heart. I love him and now that it's over all I want is to scream it from the roof top. The problem is I don't even know why it's over or what I could have done to make him so mad. I thought when I told him that I was done with the article and he told me to go for it that he truly meant it. How was I to know that he didn't.

"I could go over there and put chalking putty inside all his mufflers. That'll be hell to fix." Carrie rubs my hair as I lay in her lap and continue to cry my eyes out. Like always anytime I need a friend, Carrie is right here to the rescue. Honestly the girl is more like a sister than a friend.

"What the hell would that do. He'd still be gone. Carrie, what happened? I thought he... I mean I thought he was in love with me. What did I do?" My voice cracks and my throat clogs with more tears that I know are going to hurt to let out.

Carrie lifts me up off her lap and holds me up right so I'm looking at her. Her eyes are a little wet as well, she's been crying with me.

"Ella, you listen and you listen good, you have done absolutely nothing wrong. I don't know what the hell his problem is but I can assure that it's not your fault. It's his own fucking damage that's causing him to act like that. I mean for one of the most eligible billionaire bachelors in the world he sure is bad at it." She scoffs and lets me lay my head back down on her lap.

I laugh slightly at her last remark. "A bad billionaire bachelor, sounds like a fraternity or something. They should have cards and a website." I joke getting Carrie to give me a smile as well.

"Right! A warning website for every woman who would even think of looking in their direction. A place where women scorned can build a community and support eachother." Carrie clutches her hands together trying to mimic unity and I can't help but turn over and laugh with her.

"Can you just imagine the stories that people would put up there!" I laugh harder now.

"We should do it." Carrie isn't laughing anymore. Instead she's got that determined look in her eye.

"What? Do what? What are you talking about?" I ask her.

"We should put up a website steering people away from Percival Snow." She nods her head and before I can even think of exactly what she's trying to do she's over at the desk and pulling her laptop out.

"Carrie. Don't you dare! I'm not going to put my business on the internet for anyone to see. I don't know what's going on with Percy but I'm sure making a website about him isn't going to make things any better." I try to close the laptop but she simply holds it open before she turns to glare at me.
