It only took me a day to move out of the apartment I'd shared with Nathan for three months.

I didn't tell him.

I only sent him one text.

"I've moved out. You can keep the deposit and use it to cover the boxers. Now we're even."

Then I blocked him everywhere.

I also handed in my resignation.

Derek tried to talk me out of it, but my mind was made up.

There was nothing keeping me in this city anymore.

I bought a plane ticket to a city where no one knew me.

I wanted a fresh start.

At the airport, I

The boss is going crazy looking for you!"She sounded like she was about to cry."He's been looking for you all day. He's gone everywhere he thinks you might be. Claire, where are you?"My heart ached, but I forced myself not to give in."Amy, don't tell him where I am.""Tell him to forget about me.""I wish him all the best."I hung up and turned off my phone.As the plane took off, I watched the city grow smaller beneath me. Tears blurred my vision

    Was Nathan engaged?The words hit me like a bolt of lightning.I stood frozen, staring at Nathan in disbelief.His face turned pale."Ashton, shut up!""Shut up?"Ashton sneered. "Why? Because you don't want her to know? Nathan, having a little fun is one thing. But don't tell me you've actually fallen for her. She's not worth it.""Your engagement to Isabella was arranged by your grandfathers. You think you can just call it off? Does your grandfather know about that?"Every word cut deeper than the last.Suddenly, I felt like the biggest fool in the world.I'd walked right into someone else's relationship without even knowing it.I was the other woman.And like an idiot, I'd actually fallen for him. I'd believed everything he'd said and done.How could I have been so stupid?I stood up. I'd heard enough."Sorry. I shouldn't be here."I turned to leave."Claire!"Nathan reached for me, but I stepped away. "Don't touch me."I looked at him, unable to hide the disgust in my eyes. But may

    When I woke up in a hotel room, it was already noon. I'd stayed with Nathan all night. But when morning came, I still wasn't ready to face him. So I'd slipped out, found a hotel nearby, and gone back to sleep.I picked up my phone and checked the company forum.To my surprise, the people who had been tearing me apart yesterday were now apologizing.[I'm sorry, Claire. I take back everything I said yesterday.][So Sandra was behind it all? What a snake!][Poor Claire. She got dragged through the mud for no reason.][The boss is a legend! He went straight to the police! Can't wait to see Sandra behind bars!]I stared at the screen.What happened?I scrolled up and found an official company statement posted at nine that morning.It cleared up every rumor.The photo at the karaoke bar had been taken when Adrian and I signed the contract. His wife had been there with us the whole time.The luxury car belonged to the company and had been used to drive employees home after working late.As fo

    The next morning, Nathan woke up with a terrible headache.He stared at the ceiling for a long moment before he realized he was back in his room.His head was still foggy from the hangover.All he remembered was drinking. A lot.And then? Then... Claire came.He jerked upright and looked around.The room was empty.Did she leave again?A crushing sense of loss washed over him.He threw off the covers and got out of bed so quickly that he almost fell over.He caught himself against the wall, then stumbled into the living room.On the dining table was a bowl of hot oatmeal with some buttered toast beside it.A sticky note sat next to the bowl."Eat this when you wake up. It'll help with the hangover."He recognized the neat handwriting immediately. It was Claire's.Warmth spread through Nathan's chest. He picked up the spoon and slowly ate the oatmeal.It was the best oatmeal he'd ever had, even if it was salty enough to kill him. Clearly, Claire had no business being in the kitchen.Aft

    I found Nathan in one of the noisiest corners of the bar.He was slumped over a table, with empty bottles scattered around him.His expensive suit was a wrinkled mess.His gold-rimmed glasses sat crooked on his face. He looked nothing like his usual self.Is this really Nathan?The man I knew was always calm and put together. Nothing ever seemed to shake him.I walked over and shook his shoulder."Nathan, wake up."No response.I shook him again."Nathan!"He groaned and slowly lifted his head.His eyes were bloodshot, and he could barely focus on me.He stared at me for a few seconds before he finally recognized me."Claire..."A drunken smile spread across his face, and he reached for my hand."You came."I pulled my hand away."If I hadn't come, were you planning to drink yourself to death here?""Who's going to pay for my emotional damage?"He clearly wasn't listening. He just kept smiling at me like an idiot."Claire, you didn't leave. Thank God."I didn't bother arguing with a dr

    "Go home and wait for further notice."I couldn't believe what I'd just heard."What? Can you say that again?""I said you're suspended."Nathan's voice was completely emotionless."It's the board's decision."The board's decision?Right. The board's decision!So he was staying out of it and letting the board take the blame.Just last night, he'd told me he liked me. He'd even asked me to be his girlfriend.But the moment trouble hit, he cut ties and threw me under the bus.Of course.I must've been blind to ever fall for him."Wow, Nathan. I'm impressed."I laughed bitterly."I was an idiot."I should've known a man like you wouldn't actually care about someone like me."Don't worry. I won't be a problem for you anymore."From today, we're done!"I hung up before he could answer.If I'd stayed on the phone another second, I knew I'd start crying.I went back to my desk and packed my things while everyone watched.Then I picked up the box and walked out without looking back.I didn't g
