Chapter 99
~ Navine ~
Back at home, in the bar room, I sat alone nursing a bourbon neat. The amber liquid caught the light from the chandelier, creating patterns on the dark wood of the bar. My phone sat on the table in front of me, screen dark, mocking me with its silence.
I kept thinking about what had happened. About my stupidity. About the choices I'd made.
I'd hurried back to the mansion after confronting Yvonne, like an i***t. And why? Because I wanted to be sure Nathaniel wasn't f*****g her again. Even if he had done it before… and I was increasingly certain he had — I didn't want it happening now. Didn't want him in Hailey's bed while I sat at that goddamn party pretending everything was fine.
The logic was twisted. Possessive. Completely irrational. But I couldn't help it.
