same old same... 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

That’s when I found him— my fiancé—in bed with another woman.

Liam was the number one reason I avoided Fort Shasta. The other reasons included the small minds of the inhabitants, and the girl Liam dumped me for.

Crying didn’t help the woman I later was who found herself heartbroken by the man she thought loved her. Crying surely didn’t stop the bleeding and pain as I miscarried my child. Crying was a goddamned waste of my time. “Thank you, Mr. Reed, for everything. I think I should get going.” I tried to sound as composed and put together as I could. I didn’t give the man a chance to respond before I hightailed it out of there.

Bethany and I were together for nine years before I’d decided to walk away.

“Seems the bimbos in LA are anxious for their next boob job,” Liam snorted.

“Seriously?” I questioned. “You don’t know the first thing about my job Liam. First off, I don’t do boob jobs.” “Ah, so you do noses.

“I’m not that type of plastic surgeon. I do fucking reconstructive surgery. I don’t do tummy tucks and boob jobs. I give people a new lease on life. I repair cleft palates for children born with them. I help those deformed by accidents,” I growled at him, my anger running over.

“Selfish. You’re one selfish bitch. Your dad suffered for a whole fucking year, but you couldn’t find one damn minute in your schedule of making money helping people to see your own fucking dad.”

“I didn’t know because he never fucking told me. He never said a word until two weeks ago. I only found out two weeks ago and I was moving surgeries around, so I could come see him next week. I was coming, and he died before I got here!”

How dare you use me like that after everything you’ve done to me.” I witnessed the anger that blazed in her eyes.

You left me for Kayleigh. You gave her the one thing I wanted. You had a child with her and you want to tell me now that you messed up?”

I started bleeding one night two weeks later. I went to the ER alone and I was completely alone when I learned I’d lost the baby. I never told Dad. I never told you. Olivia only learned a month after.”

I loved you, I still love you, but I had to look out for myself first. You did exactly the same thing.”

“You didn’t have to fucking sneak out like some whore in the night. You’re the love of my life, Bethany. Please, consider it. Consider staying around.”
