Chapter 68 Unbearable decision

Aubrey’s pov ;

I didn’t wait for Ryder in the morning. I woke up early, my mind a mess of frustration and disgust.

I couldn't bear to see him again, so I called Sophia to pick me up. She was there within the hour, helping me hobble into the car, avoiding any questions about what happened between Ryder and me.

After a quick trip to the hospital to get my leg checked out, the doctor said it was just a bad sprain, nothing broken, but I'd need to stay off it for a while. I was relieved, though the pain still gnawed at me.

Sophia drove me back home to change, and then I headed straight to the company. Work was the distraction I needed.

But I kept getting texts from Gregory. He wanted to meet, so I finally agreed, thinking maybe some time away from everything would help clear my head.

When I arrived at his house, I was greeted by his family with warm smiles, but it didn’t take long for the uncomfortable questions to begin.
