The Secretary Series: A CEO and Secretary Steamy Romance

"You told me you would be different from your father when I was pregnant the first time! Did you lie to me? To us?" Ariana jabbed her index finger at Carter in her frustration. 


Carter stumbled, unsure of how to answer her. He didn't want to hurt her and the longer they were together and working together, the worse it had gotten. The gap had only widened between them regardless of how hard they had tried to stop it from happening. 


Ariana grabbed her engagement and wedding rings from her left ring finger, twisting them off and throwing them at his face. "I'm done, Carter. I'm tired of trying, and trying, and trying, and all you are doing is working! I'm tired of making excuses for why you can't go to one of Josh's games. Why you can't come to one parent/teacher conference for either Emily or Josh. I'm just tired. I'm going to my parents and staying there for a bit with the kids. I'll have the divorce papers sent to you."
