CHAPTER 23
Isabella’s POV
By the next day I’ve rattled myself immensely with overthinking. What the hell is going on between Carter and I? Do I want something more and can I even have something more.
I don’t see him at work till around lunch, I grab my purse and head into the elevator finding him in when it opens.
We both look at each other silently, I wait for him to step out but he doesn’t so I enter standing beside him quietly not saying anything.
He doesn’t say anything till we start going down and he abruptly presses the stop sign, halting us.
“I’m sorry about yesterday.” He said caging me to the steel wall and burning me with a searing gaze.
“I know I can&rs

It’s my third glass and it’s only tasting sweeter on my lips, it’s a week day and I’m not supposed to be drinking but I’m so fucking nervous after the day I’ve had at work. The tips of my fingers always feel the turning point first when I drink. That familiar buzz that makes my body feel a bit heavy and my mind light, I hardly ever get drunk I had a horrible experience in college and I still have ptsd hence the reason I hardly drink. “What’s going on with you today?

Carter's POV I drank the sight of Isabella in she looked like she was in pain, so beautiful even in her pain, her long, dark hair lying in loose waves and her gorgeous eyes shimmering with tears and fear. Suddenly I felt guilty for asking her what happened to her, there's obviously a reason she's so scared of being in any locked space. Even her apartment is very open with large huge windows everywhere, and ofcourse how undeniably scared she was the first day I met her. "What happened to you?" I ask again. "I was sexually assaulted." She says then she sighed deeply like it was something she had to get off her chest and my heart crashed to a stop before resuming a fast, erratic beat in my chest. "Well he didn't technically rape me, he almost raped me but it's like he took a part of me with him that night." She explain

Carter must have done that. My heart squeezed. Carter. He had taken care of me. I felt so safe around him, I have never actually told anyone the extent of what happened to me in details. The only people who knew what happened to me was my parents, then my two best friends Alessia and Lydia and ofcourse my friend Demi and I didn’t tell them anything in detail. I sat up, and despite my sore eyes, I had
