The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 18 A Love Divided

“I won’t force you again. I meant what I said–after we’re married, we’ll be a real couple. Not before. But from now on, don’t see Simon again, and stop thinking about him.”

“Let go of me!”

Lily had always despised that weirdo Simon–there was no way she’d ever “think about” him.

But that didn’t mean she wanted to be in John’s arms.

The scent of Elsa’s perfume still lingered on his body, and it made her skin crawl.

“John, you just slept with Elsa and then forced yourself on me. You’re disgusting.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

John frowned. “I only take care of Elsa out of pity. Nothing has ever happened between us. How could I possibly sleep with her? Can you stop overthinking everything?”

Lily didn’t respond right away.

Her mind wandered back to that phone call tonight.

She had only heard Elsa’s moans–John’s voice never came through. It was possible Elsa faked those sounds on purpose.

Maybe they hadn’t actually slept together tonight.

But so what?
