Chapter 73

• Alexis paced back and forth in front of her bed fuming. She should have taken her mother's advice and pulled Odessa's hair. That damn woman was everywhere. She'd left home willing to give Ray a chance to explain himself. She was so ready to listen until she saw Odessa, sitting there and talking to him like she had every right to. But then again it was her fault, wasn't it? She'd served Ray on a silver platter when she'd told Odessa she could have him.
• Even so, she didn't think Ray would fall for her tricks. They'd signed the divorce papers. So then why did he keep seeing her? Wasn't there a rule about not keeping in touch with exes or something? Dammit. Why was she letting that woman get to her? Her intention hadn't been to fight with Ray. She had carried the ring in the hopes that he'd get down on one knee and propose the right away after they'd made up. But that Odessa kept ruining things. She wouldn't even excuse herself when they were arguing. She sat there with a small smile on her face mocking Alexis, celebrating the fact that they were fighting. In front of her.
• "Aarrgh bitch" Alexis kicked her bed then swore again. She had to get out of the house or she was going to harm herself. Or anyone who crossed her path. Moving to her closet, she took out the few dresses she'd left behind. She was going to go out partying and forget about Ray and Odessa. She wouldn't spend another minute thinking about those two. No way. If Ray wanted to be with that witch then she wasn't going to get in his way. He could have her for all she cared.
