I see her break down in front of me. “It changed fucking everything,” she sobs, a wrecked sob that cuts me off at my knees. It’s even a miracle I’m still standing. “You changed everything. You didn’t once think about us.” Her voice goes down to a whisper, but the night is quiet, and I can hear every word. “You never once thought about me.”
I can’t help but take a step back when she says the words. With each word, it feels like a blade slicing me open, leaving me to bleed out. “How can you say that to me? You—” The words feel like they are ripped out of me. “You were the only fucking thing I thought about. You were all I ever thought about.” I trail off, not sure I can stand here and take much more. So instead of causing her more pain, I do the cowardly thing as I slowly turn and start to walk away from her. There is nothing left to say. Everything that should have been said should have been said all those years ago. Not now. Not when everything is done and buried.
“I wouldn’t have done it,” she snaps to my retreating back, her voice so tight I know her hands are balled by her sides. “I would have given up being set for life. I would have done everything to make sure that would have not been taken away from you.” I close my eyes, stopping in my tracks. “I would have done nothing that would have jeopardized us. That would have taken your love away from me.”
“You can’t say that.” I turn to the side, seeing her exactly the way I thought she would be, but also looking more beautiful than I remember. More beautiful than my dreams. More beautiful than my memories.

✨EXCERPT: FOR WRATH AND REDEMPTION by @britbensonwritesbooks is coming March 14!
#PreOrderHere:
“Thank you for that offer, but I’m going to decline.”
Jonah’s grin falls. “Excuse me?”
“I won’t be doing any of it.”
“I can end your career with a phone call.”
“And I know every consequence you’ll face if you don’t cooperate. I know that scares you. Because who are you if you’re not in this band? If you’re not this cocky, broody rock star? Hm?”
His eyes narrow to slits as he juts his chin, telling me to go on.
“Without the façade, you’re everything you hate. Just a spoiled rich boy with zero repercussions for your bad behavior. Until now.”
I mimic his earlier gesture and reach for his face, but unlike me, he doesn’t swat at my hand. He lets me run my fingers over his jaw.
“You’re not the only one who can do an internet search. I was surprised to see you with brown hair and glasses in your school pictures.” I look back into his blue eyes. “Do you wear contacts?”
He swallows, and my attention drops to his Adam’s apple. There’s an anatomical heart inked on his throat, and it looks like it’s beating with the movement. I drop my hand and step back before I touch that, too.
“I’ve watched women I love be mistreated by men like you my whole life. I won’t let you do that to me. I’m here to do a job, and if I go down, I’m taking you with me.”
His face grows devoid of emotion. I wonder if this is how serial killers look just before they snap. I’m not afraid of him, though. My anger makes me stupid.
“Understand?”
“Sure, Davis.” A smirk forms on his swollen, thoroughly kissed lips. “Now what should I do about this?”
He gestures to his lower body. I forgot he was naked, but now I have to fight to keep my eyes above his chin. I don’t want to know if he’s still hard. I don’t care.
I sigh. “I’m taking a shower. Good night.”
