I’m not fucking stupid. Our time together had an end date. Everything always does. It just happened to be tonight. So why not be the prick to fuck her from behind while her father wows everyone with his speech.
What I wasn’t prepared for was my body to betray me. All of a sudden, the thought of not touching her again drives me to insanity. No one else can touch her. She is mine. I wanted so much to own every inch of her if that was even a possibility.
Yet, all these wild thoughts amid our heated moment ignite my desperation when she turns around to face me with burning eyes.
“Are you trying to destroy my father?” she accuses.
“Alexandra, what kind of question is that?”
“Answer me,” she demanded, glaring at me with such ferocity. “At the board meeting, I saw you hush Carol when she spoke about Harperlex. Earlier tonight, Chester threatened me. He said if I leaked anything to my father about what you’re doing as so-called payback, I’d be fighting a big lawsuit.”
My hands immediately move to my jacket, but despite my reluctance to discuss business with her, my anger is anything but controlled.
“Jesus fucking Christ, Alexandra. Stop acting like a child. Business is business.”
Her mouth falls open, shocked at my outburst.
“So, then I was bait?” she questions with a pained stare. “You used me to do what exactly?”
“Don’t even go there,” I mutter.
“Why? It makes perfect sense that …” she trails off mid-sentence, only for her to clutch her stomach like she’s ill or about to be sick.
“Whatever we have,” she continues with a shaky voice, “is over.”
I knew this would happen. It was supposed to happen.
We were never meant to be anything.
But the pain stabs me in the chest, a pain so deep it strangles my ability to breathe.What the fuck is this? Control yourself.
“Don’t say that, Alexandra. You just don’t understand …”
Her stance is anything but weak. “Consider this my resignation and termination of whatever you want to call us fucking around with each other behind your wife's back.”
“I told you the truth!”
“Yeah,” she murmurs, fixing her panties since I hadn’t bothered to do it. “But actions speak louder than words. You want to destroy my father, and I’m the fool who fell for all your tricks. Goodbye, Hunter.”
As quick as this all went down, she turns her back and disappears down the stairs.
Fuck, fuck, FUCK!
My hands desperately run through my hair. I can go chase her and explain everything. But a part of me knows I need to let her go.
If I don't destroy him first, Edwards will find a way to destroy me.
My mission will remain crystal clear without Alexandra distracting me with all she is.
I will rule the industry.
And Lex Edwards has no idea what is coming.
I pull my phone out of my pocket and send the text I’d been putting off.
Me
I’ll be home tomorrow. We need to talk about our agreement.
