Her lips flatten and annoyance flares in her eyes.
I don’t care.
I’m good for the threat and she knows it.
With a sigh, Asia glances away. “I talked to your mother.”

She sighs. “About Sharon.”
Twenty-One
Asia
The moment I say her name, Hansley’s expression tightens.
“She's the one who broke your heart, isn’t she? She’s the one you can’t get over,” I whisper.
He doesn’t deny it.
The truth hangs in the air like a shroud.
Pain explodes in my chest.
Why does it hurt so much?
Why do I care?
From the moment I heard Zo talking about Sharon and Hansley, I knew—somewhere deep inside—that she was the woman buried in Hansley’s heart.
His confirmation changes nothing. It only exposes the truth in my own folly. I let myself get carried away because of a drunken mistake.
Even though I kept telling myself that it wasn’t real, a part of me entertained the thought that it could be.
But that’s as much a fairytale as what Thad and I shared before it all fell apart.
Hansley used me for a good time.
For a distraction.
So he could blind himself to the pain of losing her.
I’m just another one.
Another pair of legs.
Another mouth to kiss.
Another woman to throw away when he’s done.
But I knew that.
He was always honest.
It’s his thing, isn’t it?
Being so upfront that no woman can accuse him of leading her on.
