RENEE
I am deeply sorry for what happened between me and Ines. I was going to tell you about the pregnancy after confirming the baby is really mine.
The words stared back at me from my phone screen. I leaned back into the cushions of the sofa, an exasperated sigh escaping my lips as I rolled my eyes.
My hand twitched, tempted to hurl the phone across the room, but instead, I dropped it face down onto the couch beside me.
The audacity. After everything, he still found it in himself to reach out. My gaze lingered on the front door, my ears tuned to every faint sound outside, waiting for Miles to walk in.
Then, the phone pinged again. Another message.
I need you, Renee.
I blinked at the words. What exactly was his problem? Why couldn't he leave me alone for just one moment? I don't have the strength for this nonsense. Not now.
