(Warning: this chapter contains scenes that might be disturbing to some such as violence, readers discretion is advise)Nessa’s pov..I sat on the bed, my chest tight with Bella pacing up and down the room, Annie laying flat on the bed.Bella: I’ve always said it! I knew no matter how innocent a man may look — he’s still a man! But y’all thought I was bitter. Now see where it has gotten us — just see!Annie: Calm down, Bella.Bella stopped, her hand on her hips.Bella: I should stop? He fucking ruined my birthday party. Now instead of everyone talking about the Bella Reynolds’ amazing party, all everyone is talking about is Aaron cheating on Nessa!Annie: Is that what you’re worried about, Bella? Your party? What about how Nessa feels?Bella scoffed.Bella: How Nessa feels? Are you dumb? This is the perfect opportunity for her to let go of his nerdy ass! Her dad saw what happened so to console his daughter’s broken heart, there’s no way she won’t be given her shares. Now they can go

Aaron’s pov..I took a deep breath, opened the door, and stepped inside as three pairs of eyes landed on me—Annie, Bella, and Nessa.We glared at each other for a moment, the silence suffocating, until I finally cleared my throat.“Guys…” Nessa started.“Oh yeah… of course!” Annie jumped in. She stood, pulling Bella down from the counter. Bella scowled at me while Annie gave me a small, pitiful smile before leaving.I slowly turned back to Nessa. Her arms were crossed, her face blank.“Nessa…” I said, my voice low as I searched her expression. Nothing.“Aaron, I—”“I didn’t do it! Nessa, I swear I didn’t do it. I have proof! Nicholas… he—he planned this entire thing. He drugged me!” My eyes widened.“...Nicholas?” she asked, frowning.I nodded quickly. “The day after your date with him, he came to me. He showed me a video of you signing documents at his place. He had a contract where you supposedly signed over half the shares to him. He said he could take over the company. I panick

Nessa’s POV..I sat outside on the front porch as Aaron’s car pulled up. I stood, resisting the urge to clap like a kid whose favorite parent just came home.What the hell was wrong with me?He stepped out, walking toward me with a small smile on his face.Me: come on, I cooked dinner..I sat cross-legged on the bed in my nightwear, my hair still damp from the shower as I waited for Aaron. Dinner had been silent, him barely looking at me once—but with how pink his cheeks were, I knew exactly why.The bathroom door opened and Aaron stepped out in a loose shirt and shorts, his legs showing. God, he had beautiful legs. And, as expected, his eyes landed on everything but me.Aaron: uhm… I’m gonna… go sleep on the couch.Me: you can just sleep here! It’s a big enough bed anyway.He hesitated, pressing his lips together before finally nodding. He got in on the other side, and I slid under the covers too, our faces turned toward each other as his round dark eyes searched mine.Aaron: how’

Aaron’s POV..I finally snuck out of the gate, sucking in a breath. Nessa and I had decided to come to town to visit Mom and Dad with Marshal and also see his wife.Yes, a year ago Marshal had secretly had a small wedding with Martha, a woman in her early forties he’d apparently been seeing for years but was too shy to introduce to Nessa. Nessa, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care. Her dad was happy, and that was all that mattered. Martha seemed like a really nice woman, to be honest, with a great sense of humor.The party didn’t seem like it would end anytime soon, and it was already 8 p.m. Nessa and I would be leaving by noon tomorrow, which meant if I didn’t go see Sam tonight, it would be impossible.I got into my car, thanking God I hadn’t parked inside, and started it. My eyes drifted to the gifts I had picked up for Sam on the way here.It’s been almost a year since he lost his dad and almost a year and a half since we last talked. He never replied to my texts, never retur
