Chapter 20

Meg's POV

I stared at my phone in shock.

Charles had cut the phone on me the moment I had mentioned my name. He couldn't even pretend for a minute to hear me out. 

"Why did you even call him?" I asked myself.

Maybe I had hoped he'd be more receptive to me after the kiss we shared. Maybe I had hoped we could maybe start something akin to friendship. I didn't want things to be completely sour between us when my plan fell through. But the bastard decided to fuck it up by hanging up on me.

"We'll just have to do it the hard way then." I hissed in anger as I flung my phone across the room, scattering the screen as it crashed on the opposite wall.

"Fuck!" I screamed at the ceiling. I didn't need this right now. I needed to focus on the next stage of my plans. I needed to rest.
