Chapter twenty-one

Meg – Sister Comfort

I’m the biggest idiot in the world.

Why did I think that I’d get lucky enough to find someone I really connect with and not have some kind of strings attached? I cannot believe that I opened my heart to a man who was playing me this whole time! How could I have been so blind?

Drew refused to tell me about his family so I took it as he wasn’t close with them. In reality, he didn’t want to spill the beans on who he really was by revealing his family name. ‘Working in New York’ meant so many different things in my head, so when he claimed he was a headhunter, it made sense.

I just went with it without so much as following up on his words. Not even a Google search! I can’t help but blame myself, knowing everything I overlooked. The small things I missed that were right in front of me this whole time.

I do know one thing for sure. He will not succeed with his big-money plans here. No sirree, Seaside Cove is my home and I want it to stay low-key and happy. What will this place look like, and how can Mia and I even keep working here, if the giant succeeds?

I stand firm in my conviction that the inn is not for sale, but there’s a nagging worry in the back of my mind that I can’t ignore. If our grandfather actually lets them buy this place, so much is going to change, and there’s no good in that.

Everything changes with a buyout, no matter how much Drew says that things will stay the same. The rooms will be different, the prices for the rooms are going to go through the roof, and I don’t even want to think about how many people are going to get laid off. Mia and I could very well be included in that.

The minute Bellamy gets its claws into the inn, it’s over. It’ll be stripped like a car for spare parts until nothing of what it used to be remains. It won’t be quaint and cozy and unique. It’ll just be another property bought and flipped to fit a cold, money-hungry billion-dollar company’s business model.

“Knock, knock,” Mia’s muffled voice sounds from the other side of my bedroom door.

“Come in,” I call weakly, cuddling deeper under my covers.

“Hard day,” she sighs, coming in and lying next to me. “How are you doing after all of that?”

Before I can even think of an answer, I realize I’m holding back tears and fighting to keep them from falling. Mia already has her arms wrapped around me, softly shushing into my ear. The tears fall, the sobs come out, and once again, my older sister is trying to mend my broken heart.

It wouldn’t be the first time she’s had to do this but this time is different. I’ve never felt so much for one man in my life. I guess the pain of losing him has to match.
