Rachel’s POV

I stood in the conference room, presenting to a room full of colleagues and clients. I could feel Darius' eyes on me, but I refused to look at him.

I kept my focus on the presentation, trying to ignore the lump I felt clinging to my throat.

Yesterday night, I could swear I saw a glint of disappointment and hurt in his eyes when I admitted that what we shared was a mistake.

The sheets beside me were empty, but still warm. He hadn’t been gone long. Where is he? I sat up, pulling the sheets around me, my heart pounding just thinking about him. My phone buzzed loudly on the nightstand, pulling me out of my thoughts. I reached for it, frowning at the f

I was dressed in a tailored suit, my hair styled perfectly, exuding confidence even though I was dying with nervousness.I haven’t felt this part of me for years. The Rachel Beaumont spark was quenched; reigniting it is a tough one, but I would eventually because it was who I was and will forever be.A few years back I gave up everything all for love and got nothing but heartbreak and betrayal, a mistake I should have never made, but it’s of no use crying over spilt milk.
