An Act

Megan's POV

"You son of a bitch!" Aston growled.

"Ashton, stop!" I heard his father shout at him with authority, but I didn't care what he had done to Gael. I felt so hurt because the man I love; betrayed me once again; I could take all the insults coming from his family, but Ashton's disloyalty for the second time was too much.

I almost stumbled on the ground, and I realized I was still wearing high heels; I haven't used to wearing them, only on special occasions. I usually wear flat shoes inside my office unless I needed to meet important clients and I needed to close a deal.

Wearing stilettos could always give someone additional confidence, but as of the moment, I felt like I had lost myself. I stopped and took off my shoes, and I ran barefoot on the lawn until I reached the guardhouse.
