It Pains Me (Betrayal, #5)

by Penelope Sky

“My only suffering is seeing her with someone who doesn’t deserve her. She’s having a panic attack right in front of you, but you don’t even notice. Put your wife in a fucking cab and spare her this indecency.”

“You can’t be heartbroken unless you gave your heart to someone to break.”

“You said I had everything. But I wouldn’t have anything if I didn’t have you.”

“Not to mention,” Axel said, “I’m sexy as fuck too.”

I grabbed my glass and took another drink, downing all of it before I snagged the bottle to refill it. He pulled it out of my hand. “No more, Astrid.” “I won’t be able to tolerate you without it.”

“Fuck this. I’m gonna save myself.”

“You fucking shot me.” “Just wish I aimed a little higher,”

Now my heart was racing. Theo was coming for me…

“You deserve the world, sweetheart. Nothing less and only more.”

“And any chance with you is worth taking—no matter how minuscule it is.”
