CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

REECE

I had two phone chargers in my room.

One to charge my current cell and the other to charge the one I’d been hiding for the past two years.

It had all the old pictures of me and Alice, saved in a hidden folder. I’d catch myself looking at them every time I had missed her, and that was more often than not. Every fucking day I would scroll through the painful memories of the two of us.

It wasn’t so much that being together had killed me.

But being without her did.

Those photos were a reminder that I knew what real love was. I had experienced it. I had tasted it and felt it. Desired it like I did no other.

Love with Alice had completely consumed me in a way that I wanted to be her willing slave.

But love without her? It was the type of death you could never come back from.

I never thought I’d see Alice again until I recognized her outside the resort. She was just as beautiful as I had remembered her.

I couldn’t react the way I wanted to because I was in the company of Lunara’s parents. All I wanted to do was sweep her in my arms, kiss her and never let her go. Instead, I had to pretend that I had no clue who the hell she was, all while faking a relationship with my not-fiancée. That changed now that my dad figured out who she was.

But Alice belonged to someone else now. I couldn’t lie and say it wasn’t painful that she found someone, because knowing that someone got to love her the way I used to is what hurt like hell.

And that’s no one’s fault but my own.

I had my reasons for leaving her, for breaking up with her the way that I did. She didn’t know what they were and I intended for it to stay that way.

Lunara was young and had already been to hell and back. Part of me hated her for calling Alice and Leo to organize our wedding, but the other part of me was grateful that she did.

Because I got to see her.

And as shocked as I was the moment I laid eyes on her for the first time in almost two years, I knew she was as well.

What I didn’t know was that someone had lied to her and my friends, telling them that I was killed. Maybe that was true. They murdered Reece, the persona I had made up to get away from my family, and brought Edric back from the dead.

But I was alive and my heart still beats for one person and one person only. Alice. The love of my life whose soul I crushed the last time I had seen her.

I hated myself for that and I didn’t blame her if she hated me too.

My phone was in my grasp as I paced the room of my hotel suite, walking between the lounge area and bedroom. A photo of Alice and I
