I was wrong.
Tears well in my eyes. Don’t leave me. Don’t prove me right.
I hold my breath.
Turn around. Tell me this is all a sick joke. Tell me you didn’t see me as a transaction this whole time.
Brogan doesn’t even look at me.
He keeps walking.
Past the table.
Past the counter.
Through the door.
Tears fill my vision, blurring the words on the divorce papers.
It hurts to swallow.
To breathe.
To cry.
It hurts so damn much.
I knew it.
I should have never let myself get too close to Brogan. I should never have fallen so hard. But I did. And here I am again, looking down the barrel of another heartbreak, hopeless and alone.
Thirty-One
Brogan
While Steph’s heart is beating nice and strong, mine is withering away into nothing.
Which only makes me feel more pathetic.
What kind of sucker gets hit with his own bullet?
I had my eyes wide open. This time around, I knew good and well that the marriage was fake.
There were no secrets.
No pretenses.
Elizabeth never presented herself as someone who’d stay by my side forever.
I knew that.
Still, I wanted…
More.
More than she was willing to give.
The day I handed her the divorce papers, my world split apart.
