My Boyfriend and Best Friend Left Me Behind Chapter 10
Lawson didn't go back to Southport.Instead, he found a place in Northbay, not far from the casino. And there was only one reason I knew that.Every night when I walked into the casino, he was there.He would stand at a distance, holding flowers.I ignored him and kept my attention on my own work.Later I got an email from Beth, cursing me out in it."You are truly vicious. If it weren't for you, he never would have ended our partnership!""Well, you must be satisfied now. Without those deals my father tore into me, and my mother wants me thrown out of the family!""You caused all of it! I treated you like a friend. Why would you do this to me?! You are so unbelievably selfish..."I didn't read to the end, but I already knew what had happened.I didn't reply. I blocked the address.A few days later Lawson stopped staking out the casino. I thought he had finally given up, and quietly congratulated myself.I also started posting guards around the casino.They were there to make sure he n

Beth was next, right after Lawson.She rushed to Northbay without so much as a suitcase and was waiting outside the villa first thing in the morning.The moment she saw me she walked straight up and started in on me. "Enough, Annie. It's been over a month. Are you still not over it?""I did the things you should have been doing.""Do we have to come coax you every single time?""Do you understand how important that load was? If the money couldn't be cleaned, everything we worked for would have been wasted."Listening to her, I couldn't help finding it ridiculous."And? What does that have to do with me? Was there anything in that load for me? Why should I launder your money?"Beth froze. Something dark settled in her eyes."How can you say that?""You built the route for that load, and you planned the handling afterward.""You can't do the work and then walk away from the responsibility."I kept my tone light. "Why should I be responsible for credit that went to you?"Beth lost it comp

A month later I was fully settled in at the casino.I had also laid down new rules for the floor.My father took me around the family business all day, and I moved through every kind of event. Every day was full.For a while, I saw nothing more of Lawson.That changed on the day my new casino opened and I acquired several clubs.Everyone in Northbay knew my name. Stories about me were going around, and plenty of people wanted to talk business with me.That night the celebration ended.I came down off the yacht and pulled my wrap tighter.But then I saw Lawson standing a short distance away, his eyes bloodshot, his hair a mess, and his stubble untrimmed.When he saw me, his lips trembled slightly."Annie, how have you been?"I was thrown for a second, then asked coldly, "Why are you here?"Lawson's expression eased, and he lowered his head, his voice quiet. "I came to see you. I heard you're doing well in Northbay.""Now you've seen me. You can go."I started to leave.He grabbed my wri

I stood up slowly and pushed my hair back. "Northbay. What do you want?"Lawson sounded shocked. "Why did you go to Northbay? Why didn't you talk to me about it first?!""What does it have to do with you? I go where I want."I let out a breath. Whatever patience I used to have was gone.Lawson's voice rose sharply. "What exactly are you being difficult about? Do you have any idea how worried we were!""You don't answer calls, you don't answer messages, all because we didn't turn around for you that day?! And that makes it okay to do something this irresponsible?!"Lawson hadn't changed at all.I listened quietly and laughed under my breath. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.""Wait!" Lawson sounded desperate, and when he spoke again his tone had softened. "We aren't blaming you anymore. Beth took care of the laundering. Come back now and I'll go with you to thank her.""What's so great about Northbay? You're out there alone with nobody looking after you. You've had your fun. I'l

I turned my phone off when I boarded.In Northbay I moved into the villa my mother had arranged.After dinner a video notification popped up. Beth had posted a clip on social media.In it, she and Lawson were soaking up the attention at the dinner, the elders crowded around them with praise.Beth was laughing in that coy way of hers, tipping her head into Lawson's chest every few seconds.I didn't watch more than that. I closed it and shut down every channel that could show me anything about them.Then I turned my phone off again.Five hours later, over coffee at a cafe by the harbor, I finally turned it back on.The second it powered on, dozens of missed calls flooded the screen.More than a dozen unread messages followed.Lawson and Beth had taken turns blowing up my phone. Lawson had sent voice messages.[What is this supposed to mean?][Why is your account closed?][You know perfectly well the payment from yesterday's load has to be cleaned before it can go into the family account.

My eyes went hot, and when I lowered my head a tear landed on the back of my hand.I listened without a sound, my throat locked.They knew exactly how dangerous these runs were, that rivals could follow us and start shooting at any moment.And they still chose to leave me here.I had no gun on me. I had even taken off my body armor.They chose to rush back to a dinner and enjoy being praised by their elders.My vision blurred more and more.Even breathing hurt in my chest.Lawson's voice came through again. "Alright. When you get there, I'll come pick you up.""Call me anytime if anything comes up.""Don't wander off. You don't want outsiders noticing you and getting yourself into trouble. Keep your emotions under control."I drew a breath and hung up before he finished.In that moment the wind stripped the tears off my face.They came down in heavy drops onto the back of my hand, and I couldn't make a single sound.Before we left on this run, my mother had tried to talk me out of goin
