Wedding. I drop a glass plate that I'm holding, and I'm dimly aware of the way it shatters on the floor. "Eden." Flo reaches for me. "Are you alright?”
The beautiful woman says something about clumsy help, but I barely hear her.
Sergio left to do something, and he didn't tell me what.
His mother mentioned a wedding.
Everything I've had with him, and… he's getting married.
Of course he's getting married. Did he care that I'm a married woman? No. He doesn't think anything of marriage. He didn't think my marriage to Seth was sacred, so why would he care about having an affair?
"Sergio will explain everything when he gets back," Gino says. “Eden, listen—”
No, he won't. Because I'm not staying for an explanation.
He gave me the money. I told him about Starla and he gave me enough money to leave.
My heart plummets as I walk to my room, a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach.
On the way to my room, I see Timeo.
"Hey." My voice sounds hollow and distant. Foreign to my own ears. "Someone accidentally overpaid me."
I may be leaving, but I'm not taking what doesn't belong to me. He gives me a funny look. "Didn't Sergio tell you?"
Right. I want to snap, “Obviously not,” but that’s not who I am.
Funny he thinks Sergio tells me anything. "Uh, no?"
"He gave you a bonus."
"Why?"
"He said it was in case you needed it."
“Well, that’s no reason to give people bonuses.”
Timeo snorts. “Good enough reason for me.”
I have no idea what that means, but great. The money is mine. As if I care.
I should be rejoicing, right?
“Thanks. Okay, listen, Timeo, I want you to do me a favor.” He obviously doesn't know that Sergio's fiancée is here yet. Good, that works out to my advantage, because he’d probably try to stop me. I look at Daisy.
“I want you to tell Quinn that there's a note for her in my room.”
My heart breaks at the thought of leaving Daisy behind, but Quinn will take good care of her.
"Okay." He gives me a strange look. "Why can't you tell her yourself?"
I decide to pull a Sergio. "I have something to do. Do you know where Sergio is, by the way?"
"He’s… I can't say. He told me not to tell anybody."
"Lovely."
I've been angry before, but nothing compares to the way I feel now. It's easy being angry at someone who's a definite enemy. It's easy to dislike a villain.
