Chapter 47

• Alex POV
• I clench my fingers tightly around my phone as anger spurs through me. Seeing the comments online criticizing Ariel today made me feel a sting in my heart which I know was because of the love I have for her. How could Alicia do such a thing? I so much want to scream at her and tell her how much I hate her, but I have to keep calm if I don't want to blow things up. I'm on the verge of getting what I want now, so that shouldn't be a problem.
• Releasing the breath I've been holding unknowingly, I slump on the couch and scroll through my phone. It was yesterday since the scandal, and I've been scared to call her. I feel this is all my fault, but on second thought, I also feel that I'm doing the right thing. I finally resort to calling her, and she picks up on the first ring, although it took her some time to do.
