I thought…
Fuck. I thought she was mine.
I couldn’t believe she played me like a fool. Now all I could feel for her was hatred. She went from being my lover to my enemy. At this point, I wouldn’t put it passed her to be behind this takeover her parents wouldn’t give up on with our ranch. She obviously hated me that much.
I tried to compose myself, but it was no use. I was too far gone in my rage, which was never good. I never thought she’d stoop so low to get back at me.
Payback is a bitch.
Looking out the window, I watched Haven walk into the office that was on the property, closer to the stables than the house.
By the expression on her face, whatever she had to say wasn’t good.
“What?” I bit, unable to control my temper.
“Umm…” She swayed back and forth, weighing her words.
“Everything okay?” Dad asked her, aware something was up as well.
“Define okay?”
“Haven…” I warned, ready to fucking snap.
She inhaled a solid breath. “You promise you won’t flip out?”
“Too late for that.”
“Ledger, I’m serious.”
“So am I. What did you do now or is it Cove again?”
Haven and her best friend put my family through the wringer these past few months. Between Haven’s boyfriend, Hayes, and our eldest brother, Jace’s fiancée, who just happened to be Cove, they were trouble. What could I say? Jace loved nineteen-year-old pussy. They were twenty years apart, but who was I to judge.
“Actually,” Haven exclaimed. “It’s neither of us. Now are you done being an asshole?”
“Out with it, Haven, or you’re going to see much more than just an asshole.”
“Sweetheart,” Dad chimed in. “Now’s not the time to mess with your brother.”
“Yeah, I noticed, but what I’m about to say isn’t going to help his attitude problem.”
My eyebrows pinched together.
I never expected her to announce, “Hazel Blakely’s here, and she specifically asked to see you, Ledger.”
I jerked back, stunned.
“See,” she acknowledged. “Told you.”
“What does she want?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. She just asked if you were here.”
“Where is she?”
“In the living room.”
I stared at her wide eyed.
