She’s pulling away from me.
But I won’t let her.
I can’t lose her.
Not like this.
I’ll head over there, plant a kiss on her lips and tell her I love her. After that, the ball will be in her court, but at least this ridiculous one-step-forward, two-steps-back dance can end.
As I leave the office, a delivery guy enters and asks for Elizabeth.
“This is her husband,” Riley says, pointing to me.
“I’m kind of in a rush…”
Both Riley and the delivery guy give me pleading looks.
“I’ll sign for it,” I grumble.
He hands it over after I scribble my signature.
Turning to Riley, I offer the envelope. “Can you put this on…?” I catch sight of the label on the front and frown. “You know what? I’ll hold it.”
“Yes, sir.”
I return to my office, close the door and tear open the package.
My hands tremble as I slide the documents out.
Fearfully, I skim the contents.
“Mrs. Elizabeth Harrington makes a formal demand for renumeration…”
I collapse against the desk. Angry tears pool in my eyes. I grit my teeth, my fingers bending the papers.
I’m an idiot.
I hold the legal document up again.
Read the words again.
An empty pain wracks my chest.
Damn.
I’d forgotten how much this hurts.
Being betrayed.
Sold out for money.
I release a bitter smile and call Levy.
He answers on the third ring. “Brogan!”
“Is the asset transfer complete?”
“The money will be there first thing tomorrow morning. I’ll wire the hospital bills immediately, so you don’t have to worry.”
