Watching him walking away with his shoulders bunched and his head hung low doesn’t fill me with satisfaction or joy from knowing I kept my promise to my sister and broke the guy that destroyed her. When he rounds the corner to the elevator, my legs move on their own accord and I stand at the end of the alcove and watch as the doors open. The three of them step inside with Corvin in the middle. He turns around and the doors begin to close. As he finally lifts his head, our eyes collide and a lump forms in my throat at the sight of the unshed tears in his brown eyes. What breaks me worse than that sight is the sad smile he shoots me, telling me it’s okay that I broke him and he doesn’t blame me for everything I’ve done to him. The doors close and I break. I drop to my knees, bury my face in my hands, and cry.

It’s not a pretty girl cry. This is the type of crying you do alone in your own room where no one can see you or hear the horrid sounds that come out of your mouth. This pain I feel in my chest is soul deep. The tears aren’t just for what I did or how I hurt Corvin, they’re for the loss of my best friend and for the shitty hand life dealt me. I’ve never taken pity on myself like this and allowed myself to cry or feel any type of pity for what I have struggled through since I was a child. Seeing that look of utter devastation and heartache on Corvin’s face snapped something inside me, and now I can’t stop the tears from falling. I don’t even care that I can hear the others speaking in hushed tones behind me. They mean nothing to me and I don’t care what they think of me and the mess I currently am.

I flinch away when I feel a hand on my shoulder and snap my tear-stained gaze up to see Leah crouching down beside me with a sad smile on her face. “I get it.” I scoff, she has no fucking idea what I’m feeling. “You hurt my brother and I get why, but your sister was my best friend, Alexa. Cody would never have wanted this. Your body isn’t a weapon to be used at your disposal, it’s your temple to treasure.”

I stare at her like she has lost her fucking mind. “You think I slept with your brother for revenge?”

She frowns and cuts a glance at the other before looking back at me. “Isn’t that what this is all about?” I push to my feet and try to step around Leah, but she blocks my way. We’re the same height, which brings us eye level. They may be siblings but they look nothing alike. Leah’s green eyes spark with anger the longer she stares at me, the other two come closer ready to intervene if needed.
