I could feel my chest constrict. She knew about me…She knew who I was.“You've got some nerve to waltz back into Arturo's life after everything you did,” Jasmine accused, seething. “After everything you put him through. He was broken without you. So miserable. And I was his shoulder to cry on. You'll never be able to compete with me. Arturo will come running back to me as soon as he realizes what a glorified bitch you really are.”She smirked, knowing that she was getting to me. It felt like somebody had shot a million daggers in my chest from millions of directions all at once.“That's enough, Jasmine!” Arturo screamed, his voice strung with venom, like he was trying to stop himself doing something he would regret. “Get the fuck out of my apartment right now. Me and you are done! You'll never be hearing from me again, do I make myself clear?!”“Wait, what?” Jasmine denied. “You're throwing our friendship away for this bitch? Stop being stupid, Arturo. You're going to regret this.”“

“No offense, but who the fuck are you?” I sneered, as Carmen rubbed her chin, immersed in thought. “This really isn't a good time. You can't just barge in here without an appointment.”“Now you listen here, you little shit,” the man seethed. “I heard everything. I know exactly what's going on.”“Excuse me?” I snarled. “What the fuck are you talking about?”“So this is the woman you've been cheating on your wife with,” he accused angrily.I jolted upwards, startled, wondering why the hell this man that I had no idea who the fuck was knew so much about my life.“I don't see how my personal affairs are any of your concern,” I snarled. “Mind your own fucking business.”“Spare me the self-righteous bullshit. I'm Donte Abruzzi. Arturo Abruzzi's brother.” He trailed off his sentence, balling his hands into fists. “Now, you're going to ring the police and tell them not to pursue the case of your missing wife. Jesus, with the way you treat her, I'm not surprised she left you.”“Excuse me?” I

53bruceMONTHS LATERI sat down on my computer in my office, agitatedly getting all of my work done for the day.I'd spent weeks trying to do some digging on Donte.On Arturo...But I found nothing.With every search I made…Every file I looked at.It was like they were ghost men.They had nothing about them held against them on anything.I didn't want to let it go so easily...Because the fact that there was so little information just made me even more suspicious about them.But I learnt to let go.To let go of Sofia...That bitch and what she did to me fucking killed me.Replayed itself over and over in my head like a form of fucking torture.I could only pray that Arturo would fuck her over in the worst possible way.Make her feel worthless.Make her feel like she was nothing.Nothing without me.I rolled my eyes angrily, standing up in a huff.Fucking bastard.Arturo Abruzzi…You'll get what's coming to you one day.“Hey Bruce,” came the voice of my accountant as he strolled into

I blushed at his words, my cheeks flushing as bright red as my hair.“I'm so happy you got the book deal. Hard work pays off, babe. I'm especially happy that you finally got the good news you wanted, ‘cos I was getting quite tired of you biting my ass about it for months.”I giggled in response. “If I don't complain to you, who else will I complain to?”“I wouldn't have you any other way, babe,” he smirked, and before I knew it, he was down on his knees, holding out a ring in front of my face. I could feel my eyes well with tears. This felt like something out of a dream. It felt so fucking surreal.“Arturo, what are you-”“Sofia Martinez, I am completely and utterly in love with you. I don't want to spend another day without you in my life.“I want to grow old with you.“Have a million fucking babies with you.“Watch you write more and more books until we're both old and seventy-two.“I want you to be mine forever.“Forever and fucking always.“I love you with every fibre of my fuckin
