Chapter Ten

Bella thought not dreaming of Mike would make her feel better. She was wrong.

She woke up tired, but without the sweet ache between her legs or the satisfied tingle on her fingertips. And she was lonelier than ever.

She’d flirted with guys the night before, though nobody as handsome or interesting as the mysterious blond. It hadn’t gone past a few smiles and compliments, because she wasn’t looking for more. She wouldn’t have gone further with Mr. Hot either, if he’d pursued her.

She was done with Mike, but her heart hadn’t gotten the message. It ached for him. Her body did too. It was empty without him. Cold in his absence. Purposeless.

Was punishing his indiscretion worth all this pain? He swore he was innocent. That he was framed. It made no sense, but maybe he’d only done it the once. Should she forgive him?

No.

Leaving him had nothing to do with punishing him for sticking his dick in another woman—though taking his London restaurant might have been a little about that. It was about protecting herself from more betrayal.

Her heart and her body would have to get used to being without him. Eventually the numbness would cover the pain. Maybe, if Angie really could do magic, she could help Bella forget.

But not yet. Bella wanted to dream of the man Mike used to be one more time. One more night with him might be enough.

She hated lying to herself.

“You have an incoming call from That Fucking Pig.”

Damned HouseSsistant5000 refused to block his calls despite Angie’s fiddling with it. And it still wouldn’t change back to the female voice.

“Reject,” Bella said.

“You may want to hear him out.”

What the hell? Was she still asleep, or did the friggin’ software offer her relationship advice?

She clapped her hands. “Uninstall HouseSsistant5000.” Some problems needed radical solutions. Mike was one of them, and another night with him would solve nothing. It would only add to the pain of a decision already made.

“Uninstall HouseSsistant5000 in progress. Are you sure you don’t want to give Mike a second chance? He may be telling the truth.”

Or he might have managed to tamper with the program. He was the one who’d installed it, to begin with. Why couldn’t he leave her in peace—allow her to sweep him under the rug, drown him out, and continue her lonely existence without doubting her sanity?

Bella all but ran to the bathroom and under the shower jet. The roaring of the water masked anything else her fucked up electronic assistant had to say, but it didn’t mute her thoughts or the memory of the toast the gorgeous stranger made last night.

She slipped down the glass wall of the shower and curled into a ball. She wound herself tightly around the hollow space in her ribcage and promised to protect it at all costs. There would be no second chances. Mike wasn’t her meant to be.

She had a life to live, and she’d start by meeting with Cassandra and working on her career.

She got out of the shower, wet but not clean.
