Chapter 55

  I raise my hand to stop him. “I’m not gonna hear that, Phoenix. I gave you three months to come to me but you never did try. You hurt me the most. I trusted you, and I don’t think I can ever trust you again.”

  “Samantha, can I, um, can I just give you something.”

  I laugh and shake my head. “You can’t bribe me again, Phoenix. You can’t just buy me something to get what you want from me. You did that before, so it’s a no.”

  “That’s not what I mean, I just want to—”

  “No, Phoenix. I think we are done talking. I should go back to work.”
