Chapter 35

She had decided to move back to LA. She had just moved the headquarters of her fashion house from New Jersey to LA. Everything felt surreal She was finally bark. I knew that winning her back wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't care. Knowing that she was close to me She was holding a ceremony tonight to celebrate moving her headquarters here. Every single person in my family was invited. Everyone but me. Emily still gave me the chance to go and I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, but she allowed my mum a plus one. Dad already had his own invitation, and so were Harper and her husband.

She probably didn't want to address me directly. I hurt her. I understood what I had done and I deserved her coldness. However, I wasn't going to give up.

I didn't think that Emily could get more beautiful. but she never I could feel my heartbeats as they raced. There were many people around me and all of them were talking, but everything was blurry in my eyes except for her. She was the only clear image in my mind.

She wasn't alone though. There was a man beside her. I didn't know who he was, but I knew that I was bound to hate him with the way he was holding her close to him.
