I WAS PREPARED FOR a shit storm when I got home. Instead, I was greeted with a mess in the kitchen and a half drank bottle of wine on the living room table. The heat radiating from my body couldn’t be ignored. I didn’t need this shit today.

Before I could call out her name, a giggling woman came down the hall alongside the kitchen.

I kept looking forward, but for some reason, it comes back around to stop me dead in my tracks. “April,” I snarled.

I EXPECTED A moderate but manageable disaster when April and Eric met for the first time. Instead, I received the worst possible scenario. From the familiarity in April’s smile and the way the color drained from Eric’s face, it was clear they knew each other at some point. Fuming with an unimaginable amount of fury, I turned and ventured upstairs.

Grabbing my shoulders, Eric spun me around once I reached the top of the stairs. His attention was split between my face and my stomach. Slowly, he eased his tight grip on my shoulders and dropped his hands to hold mine. Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, he collected his unfounded anger. Finally opening his eyes, he spoke. “Whatever you’re thinking, I can a hundred percent guarantee that you’re wrong.”

“I’m thinking you fucked her. God! Did you advertise your dick in the national newspaper? When will it ever end with you? Why can’t I ever have something without it being marred, or destroyed by someone, or something else? Why does this keep happening to us? We’re right back in the thick of what almost killed us. You said you got rid of everyone who could hurt us. Preston? April? What about them? Why do you keep bringing chaos into my life?” I shook my head, utterly annoyed. “Is there a woman left on this planet who you haven’t fucked and severely damaged?”

I was equally as upset with him as I was with April. She’d allowed me to go on for months, venting about Eric when we were both stuck in Parkland. She never gave me any inkling to make me think she knew him. She pulled for us. She encouraged me to maintain hope in my relationship with Eric when I’d lost it. She did all those things while knowing all the while who Eric was. I trusted her. I wrongly trusted her.

“My twisted angel, please look at me,” he cooed, holding my head in his hands. “The life I used to have—the life without you—changed when we happened. It stopped the moment I met you in Pullman. I’ve told you that. You know that.” With expectancy, he glanced down the hall for a moment.

He’s lying Nikki. He sent April to Parkland to spy on you, just like he planted Dr. Longo.

As I listened to the only thing that spoke with any semblance of reason, his attempts to manipulate me only amplified my anger. Knowing Eric and the lengths he would go to in order to get what he desired, I didn’t believe April was at Parkland as some sort of coincidence.
