had broken up. The butler led me through the house,
stopping at the dining room.
My heart galloped at the sight in front of me, before
withering.
Maddox was there. He still looked the same…
I wasn’t sure what I had expected. For him to be
mourning our lost relationship? To be heartbroken? Maybe
I thought he’d be missing me… enough that he’d be
suffering…
Like I had been. Sleepless nights, loneliness that clawed
at me, every waking hour, hollow dreams. Hell, even my
orgasms felt empty.
But Maddox looked just as handsome as always. He was
clean shaven, and if I wasn’t mistaken, his muscles looked
even bulkier. I guessed he was working out more, with all
the free time he had now. His hair was longer, though, and
curled by his ears.
Poodle.
Maddox wasn’t alone, though. Bianca stood next to him.
She smiled and said something to him, too soft for me to
hear. He didn’t smile back – he looked anything but
interested, at whatever she was saying. That shouldn’t have
made me feel better, but it did. I didn’t want him to smile at
her… Oh God, I sounded petty and jealous.
Maddox turned, and his eyes fell on me. His gaze
narrowed, and I loved that I could still steal his attention,
even without a word. Just a single look, and I got him.
He got me, too.
Bianca followed his line of sight, and she gasped, almost
dramatically.
“Garcia,” he greeted coldly.
“Coulter,” I returned, with the same tone. Bianca looked
back and forth between us, before quickly taking a step
back. “Um, I’ll leave you to it. I’m going to take a nap.” She
scurried away, leaving Maddox and I alone.
