Lex…

I couldn't explain it, but I was nervous.

It was now or never. It was officially my birthday. I was twenty-five years old. And about to be free of the old man.

My brain was still rattling from the party last night. But I hadn't had too much to drink. If it was possible, I’d had too much of Abbie. I felt punch drunk. Hung over on her taste. My lips were still buzzing from the kisses on the rooftop.

I hadn't slept. I tried to convince myself it was nerves over this morning's meeting, but I knew it wasn't. I'd been thinking about her. Unable to step back, walk away, not able to let any of her go. She'd been on my mind. And I was obsessed. Like an idiot.

Shit was too messed up with the whole Gemma situation. But today wasn't about that fucked up situation. I had bigger fish to fry. Today, today was about my freedom. And if I could gain some small piece of it back, I was going to.

I had already donated the birthday car. The one my father had given me like a clueless idiot. I'd called my assistant to have someone come and pick it up, and they'd done so last night.

I drove my own car into the garage and parked it in the family spot as always. The gates opened for me easily. After all, everyone assumed I belonged there. Well they were about to find out differently.

I took the elevators up to the office, along the way greeted by a myriad of assistants and VPs and mid-level managers, many of whom told me happy birthday. And I was grateful. A part of me was sad that I’d never feel this family atmosphere again. But the truth of it was it had been a long time since this place had felt like family to me.

And honestly it had only felt like family because my father had been too busy, and so a myriad of secretaries and assistants had looked after Xander and I and we'd run amok in these hallways. Boldly walking into people's offices as if we owned the joint. Which, as children, we had sort of felt like maybe we could someday. But Xander had already secured his freedom. Now it was time for me to secure mine.

I didn't even bother knocking on my father's office door, and instead I let myself right in. He looked up from his computer as if he'd been expecting me. "What took you so long?"

I closed the door and slipped my hands into my pockets as I made my way to the massive window overlooking the South Bank. "Let me guess, you've been watching me since I parked the car?"

"Of course. I expected you earlier."

"Did you?"

"I trust you didn't overindulge at your celebration last night?"

"Do you even know what it means to overindulge, Dad? It's ten in the morning. If I’d overindulged, you wouldn't see me until tomorrow."

He lifted a brow. "Do you have the same afflictions your brother does?"

I scowled at him.
