He always puts my needs before his own.

This was my time to protect him and I failed him again.

None of that matters though, because the betrayal and disgust in his eyes reaches deep into his soul. There’s no coming back from this.

He will forever be tainted by what he’s seen, and he will never forgive me.

Chapter Forty-one

JIMMY

Imust have blacked out, because the next thing I know, Lilah’s sitting on the floor, my knuckles are throbbing and Bernie’s holding his eye with his limp dick hanging out. I cannot be seeing this.

I knew something was off with Lilah, so I followed her into the city, thinking that maybe she’d slipped and was off to see her dealer.

But this… I never could have predicted this.

When she parked her car, I was confused at first. Why would Lilah come and see Bernie?

“Jimmy!” Lilah gets up off her knees.

Oh God, she’s on her knees. Tears stream down her face and the cups of her bra hang down, revealing her tits.

I glance behind her at Bernie, who’s slipping his cock back into his pants.

I can’t fucking be here.

Turning without a word, I bolt down the hall to the elevator. I stab the button, but it takes too long, and Lilah calls for me down the hall. Pushing my hands through my hair, I look around until I see a stairwell. I race to the stairwell door. I can’t be around her right now. I’m afraid, for the first time ever, that I might hurt her.

I’m out of breath by the time I reach the bottom floor, pushing through the door that opens to the back part of the lobby.

Lilah is waiting for me. She must have ridden down on the elevator I called.

“Jimmy, just wait!”

I push past her and speed walk out of the lobby, ignoring the security guard calling out to say goodbye.

“Jimmy, wait.” She tugs on my shirt after I clear the doors to the building,

I can’t hold back my anger. “That sure didn’t look like Mina.”

“Please listen to me. I can explain.” She sobs, hanging on to the front of my shirt.

“I know what I saw!” I rip her hands off me because I can’t stand for her to touch me with hands that were almost wrapped around Bernie’s dick.

The thought makes me wretch, and I step to the side of the walkway and puke into the garden. Straightening, I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand and glare at her. The sight of her pulls more bile up my throat.

“You don’t… it wasn’t…”

“It doesn’t even matter whatever cokehead lie you’re about to tell me.”

“What? I didn’t…”

“I saw the lines on the table. Don’t fucking lie to me. Don’t treat me like I didn’t see what I did. You think I’m stupid?” I yell.

She grabs on to my shirt again, not letting go.

I unclasp her hands off me finger by finger, her tears shattering my heart to pieces.
