Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 4

Effie called her back almost immediately.

As soon as the call connected, Nita's anxious voice came through. "Effie, are you okay? Why didn't you answer earlier? Where are you?"-

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm at home," Effie replied, trying to sound as casual as possible.

"That's a relief. By the way, is everything alright between you and Mitchell? He just called me, sounding completely frantic, saying he couldn't find you." Nita's tone was laced with suspicion.

Effie hesitated for a moment, then decided there was no point hiding the truth- Nita would find out sooner or later anyway. "Um... I need to tell you something, but you have to promise not to freak out."

There was a beat of silence on Nita's end, and then she replied, a hint of dread in her voice, "Okay, shoot. What happened?"

"I broke up with Mitchell. We're done, and he's got nothing to do with me

anymore. Oh, and he's with Suzan now." Effie said it calmly, finally able to face the situation without flinching.
