I thought back to Friday morning. I had been angry. I was angry at Edward for fucking me and leaving me in the stairwell after he called me a slut. I was angry that he treated me like I meant nothing to him in front of the blond woman. Most of all, I was angry at myself for agreeing to his arrangements in the first place and for being jealous when I saw him with someone else.

“Yeah, I was angry.” I barked out a laugh that sounded dangerously close to a sob and shook my head. I was so stupid. “After everything that happened between us…” Our history flashed before my eyes. I thought of the way he was so demanding in bed yet so caring afterward. The phone calls, the texts. The soup when I was sick. The way he defended me in the restaurant. How he held me when we made love last night. It was all a lie. Just like his promise to me. Our whole relationship was a sham. “I was stupid to think that I was… that there was something more.”

“Baby—”

“Don’t you dare ‘baby’ me!” I snapped. “You don’t get to talk to me like we have some sort of relationship! Like you give a shit about anything besides your dick!”

“Bella—”

“No!” I was on the verge of tears, and I didn’t want Edward to see me weak. “Get out.”

His jaw dropped open, and he looked at me for the first time since starting this conversation. “You can’t be serious.”

“Get out,” I spat again, putting as much venom in my voice as I could conjure.

He stepped back but hesitated. I steeled my resolve, glaring at him through angry tears.

“Don’t do this,” he whispered.

“You’ve already done it.” The fight and energy drained from me as I watched the broken expression cross his face. I wanted to be alone so I could shut out the world and break down. “Just go. Please.”
