I Called Off The Alliance At Dawn Novel

Chapter 4 "What happened?" James finally let go of me and hurried toward the bathroom, worry creasing his face. A moment later, Jessica's laughter rang out, pleased with her little game. "The water feels amazing! James, what are you doing here? Wanna join me?" "You little liar, Jessica." He dropped his voice on purpose, but the warmth underneath it was unmistakable. The moment I heard that tone, I froze. Something inside me started to peel away. I knew that voice too well.

Because when James loved me most, he'd say things like Why can't you just behave?" while his eyes practically sparkled with affection. His body wasn't the only thing that was dirty now. His heart was, too. I couldn't deny it anymore. James had fallen for someone else. I wiped the tears from my face and turned away from the bathroom. I walked over to the couch, one slow step at a time, and pulled two phones from the jacket he'd tossed aside. Almost funny. His password was still my birthday. His phone was full of my pictures. Timestamps. Sweet little notes.

The tears came faster now, spilling down my cheeks as I scrolled through image after image with shaking hands. Until I found it. The video he'd used to threaten me. Our wedding night. After I'd fallen asleep, he'd gently touched my face and talked to himself. "Emily, you have no idea how long I've waited for this." "But sometimes she just reminds me so much of how you used to be. That's why I screwed up. I know you hate lies. When you wake up, I'll tell you everything first thing, and you'll forgive me. Right?" Chapter 4 44.44% L Lera INSTALL Cinco anos servindo a ele.

Na noite passada, me entregou a um... O He'd held my hand against his cheek. His reason for confessing was laughable. He couldn't control himself, so he came up with this pathetic excuse. I pulled myself together. I deleted everything. Every photo. Every video. Then I changed his password. To his own birthday. In case he had backups, I put the phones back and went to his office on the second floor. I deleted everything that had my name on it. As for the wedding photos plastered everywhere, I waved the butler over and told him to take them all down. her." "Mr.

Harrington already told you to, didn't he? No trace of us together anywhere. Wouldn't want to upset The butler hesitated, then nodded reluctantly. He signaled for the staff to gather the photos. "Don't just put them in storage like he said. Throw them out. If she gets bored and wanders in there one day and finds them, she might just slit her wrists all over again." "Yes, miss." He had no choice. The photos went straight to the trash. I packed my bags and called our driver. "Frank, pull the car around.

I need to go to the airport." I'd just reached the bottom of the stairs when James appeared in his bathrobe. When he saw my suitcase, fury burned in his dark eyes. "Emily, why won't you listen? Where are you going?" I met his gaze and walked down step by step, head high. "We're done, James. Where I go is none of your business." Seeing I was serious, he laughed and grabbed his phone from the couch. "Fine. You walk out that door, and I'll share that video of you underneath me with the whole world." I raised an eyebrow and laughed coldly.

"That's all you've got, James?" I kept walking toward the door, ignoring his darkening face. Chapter 4 44.44% € Lera INSTALL indo a ele. Na noite passada, me entregou a um... Furious, he jabbed at his phone, but the password wouldn't work. Jessica shuffled out in her robe. "What's wrong, James?" He shoved her away. "Get off me." Then he rushed after me. "Emily, you changed my password?" "So what? I can get it back in no time." Then something occurred to him. He smiled darkly. "Even if you deleted it, you know I love you too much not to have a backup. Don't test me.

Just stay." I took his phone and typed in his birthday right in front of him. Handed it back. "I didn't delete the videos. See? They're all there." He grabbed it and glanced at the screen, but before he could focus, Jessica stormed over and snatched it away. "Why are you wasting time with her, James? If she wants to leave, I'll help you post it." Without waiting, she tapped a random video and uploaded it. Chapter 4 44.44% admin
