Chapter 24

Alexis's POV

My heart never ached this bad. My chest was heavy and at times it felt like I forgot how to breath and every bone in my body felt like they were about to break. I missed Aubrey so much.

My father came home about an hour or so after Michelle took Aubrey to the airport. He asked me to meet him in the living room to talk.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Alex. Not because you messed with your soon-to-be stepsister but because it was the ultimate slap in my face." He finally let out. I couldn't even look my father in the eyes. The tone of his voice expressed a hint of hostility and I knew not to make direct contact with him when he was upset.

"I understand you're lifestyle and I've always accepted you for who you are. When you-know-who left us, I still supported you and I. I worked harder and completely upgraded our lives. And you do this to me?" He asked, raising his voice a little. "Nothing to say?" He inquired.
