BARREN

~{BEVERLEY'S POV}~

****

Looking at my phone screen in a dull manner, I watched the call end before the person dialed my line again.

It was Daphne.

When she kept bothering me on and on with her calls, I decided to block her.

I was currently on my way back home but deep down, I knew it wasn't a home anymore. It was more like two strangers living under the same roof.

I had forced Reuben to go home even though he refused to do so.

Resting my head against the headrest, I remained that way with my eyes closed until we got home.

Stepping out without waiting for the driver to open the door for me, I looked around and found someone's car parked inside our garage.

It was Jacob, meaning he was around.

As I got inside, I found him seriously speaking with Damion who paid great attention even though he looked quite confused.

For a moment, I stood there watching him.
