JAMEY

Anger coursed through my veins like molten metal. It encased and hardened my heart. Never, ever would I allow that woman to get me so twisted up ever again. It didn’t matter how utterly sexy she was or how every bone in my body was drawn to her. The best words for her were insane bitch. Manipulative, distrusting, conniving cunt!

I seared with anger riding the elevator to the bottom. I couldn’t wait to get back to my condo and have that expensive car returned to her along with every single suit I’d bought with her money.

I crossed the lobby quickly as my shoes clattered against the tile floor. Echoing through the mostly empty foyer, I hit the door to the parking deck wide open. I only stopped in my tracks when I realized Megan Little stood next to the door.

“Oh, hell, no. You get the fuck away from me,” I said.

“She didn’t do it. Sebastian did,” she whimpered. “He’s done it before with guys that liked her. They all failed the test. I like sex any way that I can get it, so I didn’t mind seducing them. However, I see the way you look at her. I knew you would tell me to go away leaving me to play the victim role as he suggested. Look, you have no reason to trust me, I get that, but I’ve never seen her like this. She’s ready to disown him. Before you came in the room, she was jumping down his throat saying you would never believe that she didn’t have anything to do with it.”

Rubbing my forehead, I asked her, “What did she say before I got there?”

“She said you’d see through his test immediately. That you would blame her, and he said that was exactly what he hoped for because you lied about loving her,” she said. “Only it wasn’t a lie, was it?”

“I don’t love her,” I said.

“But you might,” she said.

“No, it's an infatuation. She had the chance to believe me, but she allowed him to play the game. She could have stood with me,” I said.

She shook her head. “And what? To have you blame her, anyway. You didn’t take a breath up there. You went from realizing what happened, to down her throat in an instant. Perhaps Sebastian is right.”

“Right?”

“He said you have been here all along to destroy her,” she said as she walked past me back in the building.

“She didn’t make you do it?” I asked flatly.

Just before she walked through the door, she said, “If you have to ask, then you don’t deserve to know.”

These fucking people! I was about to go mad. Instead of driving the car home, I’d just call for a cab. I’d give Megan the key and just leave it. I went back in the door, and she wasn’t at her desk. Looking down at the key, I knew that I didn’t come back inside for the key or Megan. I came back in for Alexandra.

Sprinting to the elevator, I knew I had to get back up there quickly.
