Chapter 43

Candice

A ripple of anger and fear courses through my body. I never should have found this man last year. He has done nothing but cause pain in my life. I hate him with every fiber of my soul and as Austin gives me a worried look, I wonder if Nicholas has ruined any chance I may have had at happily ever after.

"Babe? Did you hear me?" Austin says.

"Wh-what?"

"I asked if you were alright? You looked like you saw a ghost." God, why does he have to be so perfect. As soon as I tell him who I really am, I'm going to lose him, and I've only just gotten him.

"Oh, um nothing. The name sounds familiar is all. What's he do?" I ask, even though I already know. Fucking small world.
