I breathe deeply to settle the fuming pulsation of my muscles, the wrath boiling through the thick layers of my skin ready to hit my veins and burst open any minute.
Misery.
It bounds me tight.
“Where’s my laptop?”
My head spins and my heart pounds, bile climbing up my throat, revulsion crawling across my flesh.
My blood boils as Whitney licks her lips, relaxed in her pose, gratification pouring out of her.
“Give me what I want, Logan, and I’ll tell you. The quicker you do, the faster you can beg Ellie to forgive you. Although, I’m not sure anymore if she will.”
Dread rocks through my veins as Whitney’s eyes shift to my front door.
I can feel Ellie’s life-force drain away in my doorway, screaming for a breath, for some air before she speaks.
“Oh, God. No. Have you been fucking her the whole time you’ve been with me? What do I need to forgive you for, Logan? I would have forgiven you for anything, but her.”
My stare rips from Whitney to Ellie. The woman so beautiful I can’t bear to see the tears falling down her face, the wringing of her hands. The shock of her seeing Whitney in my house, and me on top of her.
Sickening, cynical laughter breaks from Whitney’s all too happy mouth. I can feel her claws digging in.
A vicious circle of deceit. Round and round it goes.
“Oh, this is better than I thought it would be. You should have learned your lesson years ago not to mess with me, Ellie. Funny thing how I’ve lived in this town for years and never knew you did too. Not until a few weeks ago. We could have shared Logan the way I shared him with everyone else. We could have bonded like sisters again. I wish I could say it’s nice to see you again, but it’s not. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this. I’m Logan’s wife, and we’re having a baby. I’m four months along.”
Logan and Ellie’s story continues in Undone. Releasing October 8th.
