Chapter 72

  Eve didn’t even greet Pam when she answered the phone, she went straight to her question.

  “Why did you do it? I thought we were friends.”

  There was silence on the phone for a moment and then what sounded like a sob.

  “I’m sorry,” Pam said.

  She walked into the lounge to get some privacy. After the day she’d had with Esther and her comments the last thing she’d needed was some more drama. But Esther was a stranger and Pam was someone she had thought she could be friends with. That betrayal hurt more than anything Roman’s family could say to her.

  “That’s not good enough, Pam. You turned my life upside down for your selfish reasons,” she hissed. “I had to move my family so they would be safe.”

  “I didn’t know it would be like this,” Pam sniffed. “I’ve been following the comments online, I didn’t know your boyfriend was such a hotshot billionaire.”

  She wanted to correct her and tell her Roman wasn’t her boyfriend. A part of her was starting to like hearing that word.
