Chapter 35

Hayden was livid. "What do you mean his house is for sale?"

She hadn't said much throughout this ordeal, largely because I hadn't told her anything. She didn't know Davis had stood me up on our anniversary; she assumed we'd had an argument. She had no idea I hadn't talked to him since, either. She thought that, like most couples, we'd had a disagreement and had been spending time apart. I had no idea what reality she lived in, but it sure as hell wasn't mine.

Unable to continue the charade, I broke down and told her the whole sordid truth, all the ugly details, including why I'd missed deadlines and why Meredith was blowing up my phone.

"First of all, Callie, this has gone beyond Meredith. Liam is now on the prowl, too, but that's a topic for another discussion."

I rolled my eyes at the mention of Liam's name. I didn't even fucking work for him, but he was always in my business. I wasn't sure if that was Hayden's fault or Liam's, but until I knew for certain, I'd blame him.
