Charlotte grabbed his jacket, her whole body trembling. “You promised me. You said you wouldn’t do this!”

Her breath caught, color draining from her face.

Gently, Evander brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “I can forgive anything you do to me. But if you choose another man, I won’t allow it.”

He started to walk away.

He shook her hand off, coldly. “Take a sick day, quit your job if you must. I’ll give you an excuse.”

Charlotte stared at him in disbelief, frozen.

taken.

When the door shut and darkness swallowed the room, Charlotte didn’t cry or shout. She just slowly slid back against the headboard, her face blank as she watched the city lights glitter through the window.
