“She turned off her public phone to avoid any interruptions from unrelated people!”
Unrelated people?
I was Aurora’s fiancé, and now I was the unrelated person?
The number she gave me was just for outsiders.
That thought fueled my anger, like salt on a fresh wound.
“Are you still pretending to be gay?” I shot at Zachary, with my voice icy.
Zachary frowned. “Jason, are you really discriminating against my sexual orientation? I could sue you!”
I didn’t hold back. “You clearly like women. Stop the act!”
“Jason! You’re being unreasonable!”
“It’s fine if Zachary likes men!”
Aurora yelled back, glaring at me.
Maybe she thought I was just jealous, upset about her vacationing with her male assistant.
But I knew Zachary wasn’t gay. Any guy could see the way he looked at Aurora.
Yet she thought I was just making a scene.
Thinking back, how ridiculous I had been.
For all those years, I had devoted myself completely to her. I had only cared about her, stepping down as the national team captain to keep her safe, even kneeling to others to help her land a role.
My mother had given her a kidney to save her life, but she died because of kidney failure and a lack of treatment.
How absurd!
I had been so foolish!
