I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, squinting at the bright screen. Several missed calls from Adrian stared back at me, twisting the knife already lodged in my chest. I had thought he was the love of my life, the one I would marry and finally give myself to on our wedding night. But all those dreams shattered when I found him in bed with another woman.

My fingers hovered over the call log, but I couldn’t bring myself to listen to his voicemail. I tossed the phone onto the bed, the pain of his betrayal still fresh. Last night, I had tried to forget what I’d seen, but it was still there, hiding beneath the surface, ready to pull me down again.

Jess sat beside me, watching my expression. “Are you okay?” she asked softly.

“I don’t know,” I said, my voice low. “I feel… confused. I just saw Adrian’s missed calls and voicemails, and now I feel like I cheated on him. D*mn it… I feel just like him.”

Jess shook her head. “No, you’re nothing like that jerk.”

“I am,” I muttered, clutching my head as more memories of Gabriel’s hands and lips came flooding back.

“Claire…” Jess grabbed my shoulders, shaking me a little. “You’re not like Adrian. What happened with Gabriel was a reaction to what Adrian did. You’re not at fault.”

“But I am.” I groaned. “You warned me to stay away from the dangerous man at the club, but I didn’t. I followed him into a dark hallway, and we… we…” My voice faltered as I tried to piece together what happened. “We had s*x, I think… I’m not sure. Everything’s a blur. I regret it all now… My first time, with a stranger, in a
