“Bailey, I had nothing to do with this,” Capri interfered. “I didn’t even find out about this until this morning and have tried to stop Robert from doing this ever since. I need you to know that.”
“Then I’m going to assume,” Robert bit through a clenched jaw, “you know the terms and conditions of his contract for your movie together?”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, since you’re so convinced you know everything about him. I’m going to assume that you knew about his negotiations for you to film the movie with him.”
I grimaced. I couldn’t help it.
“Ah. I didn’t think so. You should look at his contract, Bailey. You need to see for yourself the kind of moocher you’ve attached yourself to.”
“What the hell?” I murmured to myself, ripping the file from his hands.
“I can see your mind spinning. Go to page five. Those are the details I’m sure slipped his mind and he forgot to tell you.”
Oh God…
Right there in front of my eyes was the truth in plain sight. It all started and ended with…
A lie.

Bailey
“In his own words,”Robert emphasized.
“There has to be some sort of mistake. Aires wouldn’t?—”
“The only mistake is that you let him into your life to begin with.”
I fervently shook my head. “He wouldn’t do this to me.”
“Here’s your chance to make it right. Say the words, and we’ll get him out of your life.”
“Robert, that’s enough,” Capri repeated, aware that my heart was breaking.
“You’re not going to continue to throw away your career for this son of a bitch. You’re smarter than that. Don’t let your infatuation with him blind your reasoning. He’s nothing. He’s no one.”
“I love him.”
“I know, sweetie.”
“Capri, enough,” Robert demanded, blocking her arm that was about to comfort me. “Love is a misconception. You’re in love with the thought of him, but not him, Bailey. You know it as much as I do. You’re just lonely.”
“I’m sure there’s an explanation for everything.”
“Bailey—”
“No!”
His stare narrowed in on me, giving me one hell of a stern look before grabbing my face. “Don’t do this. He’s no good for you. You want to end up as a washed-up actress? Because that’s what will happen if you continue with this leech. Do you understand what I’m saying to you?”
I felt myself about to break down, so conflicted with what he was saying. My mind processed it, but my heart screamed for me not to believe a word of it.
“You need to go.”
“Bailey.”
