Chapter 74

• Arielyn
• Whatever I thought heartbreak and rejection felt like eight years ago didn’t quite compare to what I was feeling right now, nothing prepared me for how sick I felt inside, I woke up early and left Raul’s room because I didn’t want to hijack his room the whole day, I made sure to lock my door because I didn’t want Kendrix to come in and make everything even worse. He already made his stance clear and now it was up to me to get over myself. I had to force myself to smile and look as happy as I could fake when Win-rose called because I didn’t want her to be worried about me when she was supposed to be having fun with her new husband, she did ask about Ken and I just told her he was busy. After the call, I went back to my misery and that’s how I spent my whole morning and afternoon. Raul came to check up on me and I told him I was okay and I just needed some time to myself and he left without questions. My phone started ringing and I stared at it, hating that someone who was not Rose decided to call and interrupt my miserable time. I reached out and took the call.
