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.

When we had arrived at the party, I heard the whispers and murmurs of the other

“He’s here alone. I heard Shantel cheated on him,” I heard one man say to another.

I didn’t know how to feel. A part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me felt a sense of vindication. After all the pain he had caused me, he deserved this.

I took a deep breath and turned to Kex, trying to sound calm. “Done,” I said, placing my hand on his cheek. He pulled away, his expression cold.

“Let’s go home,” he said, his voice hard.

“But the party’s just getting started,” I said, my voice shaking. He didn’t smile.

“I don’t care,” he said, raising his voice. I flinched, and he noticed. “Let’s go home,” he said, his voice softening.

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.

The ride home was silent. Kex gripped the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white. I wondered if he was mad at me, or if he was just furious with Astel.
