Katy rushes to her boyfriend’s place—only to catch him cheating. Instead of remorse, he feeds her pathetic lies and expects her to forgive him. Humiliated and furious, something inside her finally snaps. This isn’t heartbreak—it’s a turning point. But how far will she go to make him regret everything?
“Don’t you think you’re being a little obnoxious?” I ask, cocking a brow. She squints at me. “Are you crazy? And I don’t even care what you said. I just think maybe you shouldn’t be talking to girls you used to fuck while this-” she waves a hand between us “-while this is going on.”…
” Damn. Katy Evans is really something. I’ve met a lot of girls, but none of them surprise me the way she does. Her confidence, her determination to never settle for less… that’s something you don’t learn from textbooks. Bryan looks livid when I glance at him. His jaw is tight, eyes dark, and I…
“And I think you’re so egotistical you can’t stand the idea that you’re not my type.” I cross my arms even though his chest is pressing against them. “You really want me to believe,” he says slowly, “that you felt safer with Bryan than you feel with me?” Oh God. He’s actually turning this into…
I dig my phone out of my pocket and pull up the campus shuttle app, pretending to focus on the screen even though my hands are shaking a little. “You want to go back now?” Allie asks. “Yeah.” “What about Braydon?” Seriously? Can she read the room? “I’ve had enough for one night.” I answer.…
“Yes, she did.” I turn to see Bryan approaching, a backpack swung over one shoulder. He stops beside me, facing Miley with that easy, confident posture I once found charming. “And I think she’s right,” he says smoothly. “If you were gossiping.” My eyes widen. What the hell is he doing here? And more importantly,…
“Let go of ” Bryan starts, but the words cut off when Justin’s fist slams into his face. Bryan staggers, but another punch follows, then another, each one harder than the last. “Justin! Stop-please!” I scream, shoving at him, and pulling at his arm, but he doesn’t stop. Bryan hits the ground, trying to shield…
Katy stands in front of him, her hand on her hip, and hair falling out of her messy bun. “You’re seriously not going to say anything?” Justin shrugs. I lean against the counter, and stay quiet. I know I should probably butt out because sibling fights are like landmines but it’s hard not to feel…
Now I say, forcing myself to pull away before I do something even dumber, “let me get you that Chinese food you wanted.” I hop off the bed, but as soon as I turn away, an exhale tears out of me, my grin impossible to hide. Seriously. Why the hell am I this happy she…
He shrugs. “Because we haven’t had time to talk about it.” He pauses, smirking. “Thanks to someone.” I lean back. “Must we talk about it? And what’s there to even say?” “I can name a few things.” He takes a sip of his latte, eyes not leaving mine. “Your sudden decision to play that dumb…
He shrugs. “Guess I like doing insane things.” I look back down, the golden logo on the ticket glinting under his room lights and my brain’s short-circuiting. The Network Collective. It’s the biggest annual business conference in Chicago and every business major dreams of attending because it’s where CEOs, founders, and investors come to scout…
