CHAPTER 22 – TRUCE

Chloe

Bristling in in my seat like my pants were on fire, I really didn’t care how I was getting home. I had already decided I was getting away from him as soon the plane touched down. Gibson may have been able to do whatever he wanted with most women, but I was not ‘most women.’

Thinking we couldn’t have gone far, because it had only been forty minutes since we’d taken off, I thought it couldn’t be that difficult to get back to Ruby and the others at the hotel.

When I realized I only had my driver’s license and virtually no cash with me, I felt gutted that I had let my guard down and left myself in such a vulnerable position. What was I thinking, going with him into the unknown like a lamb to the slaughter? I decided I was going to ring Ruby when I got to the airport, and ask her to hire a car to come get me.

Closing my eyes, I could feel my ears popping and stomach lurch with the plane’s descent and my stomach was already feeling acidic from the lack of food. The exchange between Gibson and the cabin crew girl made me feel so…jealous?? And I wondered if Gibson had been with her before. Stupid really, of course he had. That hadn’t mattered because he had humiliated me by putting me down and that had made me feel stupid.

Swallowing hard, I fought back the feeling of being inadequate to Gibson. Mainly because of the way that Kace had conditioned me and how he made me feel so undesirable over the past year. My gut twisted and the threat of tears choked me, making my throat close. I struggled following that to keep my composure.

Still sitting with my eyes closed when the plane landed, I wished that he would just leave and I could save face and slip away quietly. Reality told me that was definitely not an option, but I had managed to get my feelings in check before I opened my eyes and was relieved to see that the stewardess had gone.

Gibson was still sitting with one leg crossed with his ankle resting on his knee, his face with a grim expression on it. His elbow was resting on the plane window, and his head, resting in his hand. The lap belt buckle was undone and the arm rest nearest the aisle was pushed up.

Before he could speak, I got in first. “Don’t say a word. Just tell me how to get home. I think you’ve done your job and I don’t want to be here anymore than you want me to be, so let us stop the pretense and just let me go home. All I need is to call Ruby to come and get me or someone can drop me at a bus station and I’ll make my way back. Where the hell am I anyway?”

Sounding much more assertive than I felt, I tried to stare
