Chapter 82

Chapter 82.

Nelly’s POV.

“Fuck” Kex cursed under his breath as Astel stormed out of the room. He turned to me, his eyes full of anger. “That idiot,” he mumbled, shaking his head.

I cleared my throat, trying to break the tension in the room. “Let it slide,” I muttered, as I helped him arrange his clothes.

As I began to sort of arrange his suit, my mind replayed Astel’s words over and over. again. He wanted me back, but accepting him meant that I didn’t know my worth. I wouldn’t let him manipulate me like that.

I nodded, not wanting to anger him further. As we walked away from the party, my heart was racing. I hated it when Kex got angry like this.
