In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

“You’re the ones who found out about this?”

The policeman refused to elaborate any further, knowing that going into too much detail might result in disciplinary action for him. So he just shook his head and waved down a taxi, then got in it and left.

The fact that Miranda had put on her new dress today specifically to show Skylar but was now being made to wear a prison uniform left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Her feet felt as heavy as lead as she stood helplessly by the roadside, staring at the brightly lit-up police station. The building was literally right in front of her, yet she couldn’t bring herself to take a single step forward.

The phone in her pocket rang. Noticing that the call was from Tobias, she cleared her throat and shoved down her swell of emotions before answering it.

“I just got back. Where are you? Why aren’t you home?”

There was a long pause as Skylar inhaled deeply through her nose, then replied, “I’m in front of the police station. My mom’s in there.”

“Send me the address. I’m coming over.”

Just as he had promised, Tobias soon arrived at the police station. The sight of him getting down from his car made Skylar feel as if the earth had finally stopped swaying under her feet.

“What’s wrong? You seem upset, did someone bully you?” He asked, running a hand through her hair soothingly.
