Chapter 15: Zara

The last few days have been a whirlwind. After I’d gotten the text from Demon with the picture of him and Lucky, I’d gone into survival mode. I knew that I had to get away and lick my wounds in private. If I had to look at him, I might just shoot him. He’d crushed me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to trust another man again. I was done.

As soon as it was late enough, I’d called my supervisor at work and told them I had a family emergency and needed to leave town for a while. I told them, right now, I had no idea how long it would last, but I’d let him know.

He’d been less than thrilled but said he understood. They were accommodating because I was one of their star physicians. I knew I was taking advantage, but I didn’t care. It was time I worried about myself. With that taken care of, I then called Ted back.

“Hi, Ted, I know it’s super early, but I was wondering if you still needed a doctor to fill that vacancy for the next month?”

“Well, yeah, I do. Do you know someone?” I could hear the excitement in his voice.

“Yeah, me. I was able to get the time off after all. I can be packed and over to your place in a few hours. If you’re okay with me coming early and staying for a day.” I prayed he’d say yes. If not, I’d stay in a hotel in Nashville. All I knew was I wasn’t staying in Hunters Creek. Hell, maybe Demon wouldn’t even bother to come around. After all, he chose to send me a picture to tell me we were over. It would be too much to see the ladies or the other guys in the club. A month in Mexico would give me time to think and decide where I was headed next. I knew for damn sure, I wouldn’t be staying in Hunters Creek. I wanted as far away from Luca Moretti as I could get.

“Of course, you can come early, Zara. Leslie would love to get a chance to visit with you before we leave. I have to say, I’m totally amazed you could get the time off. What about the man you mentioned?”

I wished I hadn’t told him that. “Oh, he’s going to be gone for business for at least a month, so it seemed like the perfect time for me to go as well.” I hated to lie to Ted, but I couldn’t bear to tell him I’d been fooled and used again. It would be too humiliating.

We ended the call with my promise to see them later. With that settled, I ripped through my house like a whirlwind. I just grabbed whatever looked like I might need it. I shut off my phone because I didn’t want to have any communication with the world. I knew as soon as the ladies found out that Demon and I were over, they’d want to talk.
