CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

“You just can't catch a break, can you?” Cindy glances at me over her shoulder as she stands in front of the stove making scrambled eggs for breakfast.

I can't tell if she finally went back on her low-carb diet or if she just felt like having eggs this morning. Whatever the case, I'm glad it's not one of her kooky experimental recipes. From what I can see from where I'm sitting, this morning's recipe is simple. Eggs, cheese, bacon, salt, pepper, and a splash of cream to make the eggs fluffy.

“The universe hates me right now.” I groan, practically draping my upper torso across the dining room table with my cell phone clutched weakly in my hand.

Even though I didn't have one drop of alcohol last night, I feel like I have a hangover, and it's killer. My mood did not improve with sleep. Part of me hoped that when I turned on my phone this morning and saw a flood of text messages from Croix and Raj, it would. Raj texted me. Croix didn't. Raj said that he heard about what happened and asked if I was okay. The fact that he didn't tell me I should give Croix a chance to explain things leads me to believe that there is no good explanation for what I saw. The fact that Croix didn't try to contact me again only confirms that. To make matters worse, I got another text message from Derrick. He must have a secret sensor planted inside of him that tells him when I'm miserable, because what are the odds of him texting me the very next day after Croix and I pretty much broke up. The text was basic and impersonal. He said that the job at Club Lux was still there if I wanted it. If Hudson Paragon Solutions hadn't offered me a better job, I'd probably be crazy enough to switch sides right now. At least, that's one good thing going for me.

“When it rains, it pours,” Cindy comments absentmindedly.

As she pours the bowl of egg mixture into the heated frying pan, it sizzles.

“I'm going to take the Paragon Solutions job,” I tell her.

“Good. I think that's a smart move.” She breaks up the eggs with a spatula.

“It is,” I admit to myself.

“I know this probably isn't the time, but your brother left something for you. It's over there.” Cindy nods to an envelope on the edge of the kitchen counter.

“Just throw it away.” I turn my head so that my voice is muffled.

“Aren't you the least bit curious about what's inside?”

“Not the least.”

“Well, I am.” She picks up the envelope and walks it over to me, tossing it on the dining room table. “Open it.”

“I don't want to.” I pout.

Cindy gives me a warning look. “He's your brother, Raven. What if something is wrong and he needs you?”

“He should have thought about that before he fucked me over.” I sit up with a sigh, taking the envelope and tearing it open with all of the disdain that I feel for my brother.
