“I agreed to nothing. I didn’t argue with you because my brother was waiting at the door?—”

“You’re driving me mad right now, Keira.”

“I didn’t want to pretend?—”

“I asked for a couple of days. You couldn’t wait?”

“But—”

“Your stubbornness may have cost me a long-standing friendship?—”

“You choose Noah over me? Over us?”

“For fuck’s sake, Keira. You’re not listening?—”

She lifts a hand up. “If we break things off now, you canstill salvage yourpreciousfriendship. It hasn’t been that long between us, anyway. I’ll get over you. I can find some place else to stay.”

She torpedoes out of the kitchen in a whirlwind of anger.

Keira stomping up the stairs and slamming her door shut after our fight was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I’d reached my quota.

I sprinted upstairs, took a two-minute shower, and adorned a suit. Then, I grabbed my keys and burst out of my house, fury riding my coat tail. I slipped behind the wheel of my Aston Martin, desperate for speed. I didn’t head to the office. I went for a long drive to let off some steam. I was still a ball of frustration when I got to SCORE HQ.

If only this morning’s blow up was all I had to worry about.

A wall of reporters, content creators, and paparazzi were awaiting my arrival. As soon as they saw me, questions were volleyed like balls bursting from a tennis ball machine.

“Rhys, are you off the market?” Someone shouts the question.

Huh?

“Did you propose last night?” Another one shouts.

What are they talking about?

“Rhys, are the rumors true? Did you break things off with Addison for another woman?” That’s from another reporter.

A man adjusts his huge glasses. “Is this the death of #AddRhys?”

What the fuck?

It was a mad frenzy at the security gate. Thank God, our security team is highly efficient. I was able to get into the building without being assaulted with more questions.

Between this morning’s shit storm and driving around with my phone turned off, I missed the breaking news. Unbeknownst to me, last night’s showdown with Addison went viral.
