ready to come back, she’ll let me know.

Chapter 22

The next few days were difficult. I missed her so damn much, and all I wanted to do was see her.

Ashlyn kept calling me and making it a point to see me at the office. The days went by slow, and the

nights slower. I buried myself in work most nights and went to dinner with Paul and Denny. Ellery’s

second treatment was scheduled for next week, and if she didn’t come to her senses by then, I would

have to go find her. I won’t let her go through that alone.

I was in the kitchen the next morning, having coffee with Denny and Claire, when a text from

Ashlyn came through, saying she was on her way up. I’d invited her over to talk. Today is the day that

I’m getting rid of her and out of my life once and for all. I walked over to the elevator just as they

opened, and she stepped out with a big smile on her face.

“I was so excited to get your call,” she said as she ran her finger down my chest.

I removed her finger from my chest and led her to my office. This wasn’t going to be easy, but it

needed to be done, especially if I was going to have a future with Ellery. I asked her to sit down, but

she refused.

“What’s going on, Connor? I’m sensing some tension here?” she said.

I took in a sharp breath before I spoke. “There’s something that we need to discuss, and it’s going

to upset you.” She looked at me with daggers in her eyes.

“If this is about that blonde whore I’ve been hearing about, then I don’t want to discuss it. I want

things between us to go back to where they used to be,” she said as she moved closer to me.

“First of all, Ashlyn, Ellery is not a whore, and you are never to refer to her as that again. Do you

understand me?” I said in an angered voice. “Second of all, Ellery is my girlfriend, and I love her

very much. And finally, things with us are over; they were over the night I met Ellery.”

She stood in front of me as she cocked her eyebrow. “Is that so? Well I think I can make you change

your mind.” Suddenly, Ashlyn lunged at me, and before I knew it, her lips were on mine. I pushed her

away as I looked up and saw Ellery standing in the doorway. My heart sank as I saw the pain and

betrayal in her eyes.

“Ellery, this isn’t what it looks like,” I said in a panic. She put her hand up as if she was telling me

she didn’t want to hear it, turned around, and started to walk away. Ashlyn smiled as she watched her

leave.

“See, Connor, I told you she doesn’t love you like I can,” she said.

Ellery stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. She had the same look in her eyes that she did

that night at the bar. “Oh shit,” I said as I watched her slowly walk towards Ashlyn. Ashlyn stood

there with her arms crossed, and with a smirk on her face. This wasn’t going to be good, and it was

making me nervous. Ellery approached Ashlyn and extended her hand to her.

“I don’t think we’ve officially met. I’m Ellery, Connor’s girlfriend.”

“Funny, Connor said he didn’t have a girlfriend anymore when he had his hands all over me,” she

said as she refused to shake Ellery’s hand.

Ellery looked at me as I stood there speechless. I couldn’t believe Ashlyn just said that, but I have

to make Ellery believe she’s lying. The only thing I could do was shake my head so she knew it

wasn’t true. She glared at me as she began to speak to Ashlyn.

“He said that?”

“Yeah, he did, just after he kissed me and told me that it was me he loved all along, and you were

just a charity case that he felt sorry for.”

Shit, I can’t believe she just said that. I have to stop this now or I’ll lose Ellery forever. No matter

what, I’m making sure Ashlyn is out of my life for good. I saw the look on Ellery’s face, and the anger

brewing in her eyes. It’s a look that I’ve never seen before, and to be honest, it scared the hell out of

me. I took a step back as I saw Ellery raise her fist and slam it across Ashlyn’s jaw. She fell back on

her ass as Ellery bent down until their faces were inches from each other.

“My advice to you is to crawl back into the whore hole you crawled out from and to never look at

me or him again. If I even catch you looking in either of our directions, I will pound my fist into you

so hard that even a plastic surgeon wouldn’t be able to fix you,” she said as she turned on her heels

and started walking away.

Ashlyn held her jaw and screamed, “You’re a crazy bitch; do you know that?!”

Inside I was laughing because Ashlyn deserved it, and I couldn’t believe Ellery did it. She was

leaving, and I wasn’t about to let her go. I ran after her and grabbed her arm before she could reach

the elevator. “Don’t you dare take another step,” I commanded. She whipped her head around
