by Shell, C.
My heart is thumping wildly against my chest. I am not sure how it keeps pumping considering how broken and battered I feel. I don't even try and stop the tears as they fall freely down my face. What is the point? How could he betray me so deeply and lie to me over and over?
So many things make since now. Why Daemon was always staring at pictures of Gary and I. How I got such an amazing job right out of college without any experience under my belt.
I am such an idiot. How could I be with two totally different men and not know anything truthful or real about either of them.
Seeing my pain, Cherie pulls me into a hug and strokes my back the way a mom does to their child. "For what it is worth, I think Daemon's feeling for you are genuine. He has a reputation as a playboy for a reason, but he is not like that with you. I knew from the moment you two officially met in that boardroom, he was a goner, and there would be no stopping him from pursuing you." She said softy and hesitantly.
"I wish you had," I whisper as I pull back and give her a give her a small smile. Wiping my eyes I thank her for her honesty and for allowing me to keep my job.
Saying a quick good-bye, I rush out of the room and back down the long hallway. Instead of returning to the main ballroom I head towards the elevators. After hitting the down button, I pull out my phone and I send a quick text to Sasha and Tony as I wait impatiently for the lift to arrive.
Me: Leaving now! Daemon lied and betrayed me. I will explain later. Please do not worry about me. I will call you both tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your night.
As I hit send, the elevator doors open. Entering the lift quickly I am thankful that I'm in here alone. I hit the main level button and sag against the back wall. As the doors finally close I succumb to the sadness and let the betrayal of what he has done take me over.
Reaching for my phone I send one more text. To Daemon Scott:
Me: I am not yours! Not now and not ever. Thanks for getting me the job.
To be continued...
