It Kills Me (Betrayal, #1)

by Penelope Sky

“You’re a fucking monster,” I said. “And one day, she’ll see it.”

I’d never chased a man before, and it didn’t feel good to chase the same man over and over, to convince him to stay with you when he should want that himself.

What if Axel dumped me…because he wanted to? What if he really had grown tired of me? What if there was no bigger reason?

“Everything alright? You seem distracted.” “No, I was just daydreaming.” About a man who may not want me anymore.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” I stared at my wine as I said it, but my voice sounded like it belonged to someone else. “You know what?” I raised my chin and looked at him, releasing a heavy breath. “No, I’m not okay.”

“He’s not good enough for you,” he said. “Forget about him.”

Goodbye, Axel.
