Chapter 50

CASSANDRA BATES

ELEMENTALLY, ROYALLY, FUCKING SCREWED.

And that was because I didn’t have any other words to describe the situation, I was in.

Wait, wait there was another word. I HAD HIT ROCK BOTTOM.

I might have acted brave enough to reject Ice’s help but two days sleeping in my ex-roommate’s walk-in closet advised me that I should have done otherwise.

But did I want to risk that?

Did I want to risk owing Kade anything let alone running paths with him after he had avoided me in weeks?

No, I did not need such toxic relationships in my life at the moment.

I did not need Kade and I absolutely didn’t need violence dictating what my life should have been.

I came back from my whirlwind romance with a vigilante poor as fuck.

My apartment had been merrily given to another couple with a labradoodle.

My job, well Nicolas Amato was dead, everything he owned had been confiscated by the cops so bye fucking bye to my job.
