Chapter 110 Audrey

I sat behind my desk, pinching the bridge of my nose as I stared absentmindedly out the window. The voices from the video meeting droned on, barely registering in my mind; rather, 1 was focused on the city skyline that was stretched out below me, a maze of glass and steel that usually filled me with awe and maybe even a little pride. Today, it only reminded me of how trapped 1 felt.

These past few weeks had been absolute hell. With each passing day, I felt more and more like a coward. The decisions I had made felt like a leaden weight in my stomach, rendering me unable to breathe, unable to eat. I had lost weight, lost sleep, lost sanity.

But what choice did I have? What could I possibly do to fix this mess that I had created?

My mind drifted back to that fateful day at Claudia's house. The day everything fell apart. I could still smell the fresh-cut grass, feel the warm sun on my skin, taste the lingering sweetness of Audrey's lips on mine.

"I know what you did in the woods," Fiona had said, her voice dripping with venom. She had cornered me as soon as Audrey left, her eyes gleaming with malicious triumph as she sniffed my neck like a dog. "I can smell that human girl all over you."

I had tried to play dumb, even though I was certain she could feel my heart pounding in my chest.

"I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about," I said, wrenching myself away from her and turning.

But she wasn't fooled. Her hand caught my wrist, her long nails digging in. She leaned in close, her nose nearly touching my

neck.

I shuddered. I could feel her inhale deeply, sniffing me again. I felt like a piece of meat.

"My, my," Fiona purred, reaching out to swipe her finger along my neck. It came away with a smudge of pink. "If you're going to f**k a human girl, at least don't do it on my mother's property. And maybe learn to clean up properly afterward."

My stomach plummeted. Audrey's lip gloss; I had missed a spot.

I had snapped then, finally fed up with the charade. Time to do what I came here to do,

"That's it, Fiona. We're done, I said, grabbing a napkin off the table and wiping my neck. "I never had any intention of marrying you, and frankly, I despise everything about you."

Her face had contorted with rage, her perfectly manicured nails digging into her palms. "You can't be serious. You would choose that little human w**e over me?"

"In a heartbeat," I had growled, not bothering to hide my disdain "Audrey may be human, but she has more personality in her little finger than you do in your entire body. You're nothing but a spoiled, cruel heiress who has never worked for anything in her life."
