lit inside of me. Something had snapped, and now, I was barraged with all these heady emotions. There was something about the way he looked at me; it was like he saw who I was, what I was, and what I would become. It was as if he knew…
    His spellbinding depths told me that he was ready for the inescapable.
    Well , so was I.

Chapter 6

    “He just bought a place around Hyde Park.” Chad chatted up as we rode in a black cab heading towards the said newly purchased home.
    Though he kept talking to me, I was remained still, silently listening as I got lost in my own thoughts. Where was Amelia now? Would she let this happen? I mean, why couldn’t he have waited until she gave birth and leave her then? I had so many questions. Each one drilled more guilt into me. I knew I had taken part in this. I had thought after Rome, things would become better, but it had only proved me wrong.
    Before I knew it, the cab was parked and Chad was handing the driver the cash then opening the door and almost tugging me out of my seat. “No time to think, sweet cheeks. Just keep on moving.”
    His grating tone almost made me want to lash out at him, yet even with my anger, I couldn’t manage to spout anything because, deep down, I was a ball of nerves. It certainly sucked to be best buddies with people who were also best friends with your ex. Back in the day, I used to swell with love and pride at being so well loved amongst amazing, big-hearted people, however now, I was not liking it one bit.
    You see, if one of us had a problem, all four w ould come knocking on your door, come hell or high water. It was how it worked. When Chad needed help, we all took our part. When Sienna had some painstaking problems, we all rallied to be there for her. As we did with Blake. And now, it was Toby.
    When Chad pulled out a key, I glowered at him. “When did you get that?”
    “Robert handed it to me when he picked me up from Heathrow.”
    Robert. Blake Knightly’s driver. Great. I was sure I was the only one exempted from having a key to this place. I knew I shouldn’t feel bitter about that, but I fucking did. It hurt, dammit.
    When the key opened the door, all the bitterness in me fled as I focused on the boxes that were piled up against the wall. It looked like he was barely moved in.
    Chad steadily walked ahead as I reluctantly shifted my footing, not sure if I should go past the foyer. The radiantly polished black and white tiles caught my attention as I stared at them, not sure how to pass time. Would Chad notice that I was not behind him? I hoped not.
    Tough luck , I thought as I heard him hiss my name. I looked up and saw him about to come towards me when the sound of an opening door made me freeze on the spot, stealing all the air from my lungs. My ears perked up, knowing quite well who it would be.
    “Chad?” Toby’s voice sent flutters all through my stomach.
    Chad managed to send me a cutting look before he walked over to where Toby was. I could only presume that Chad was giving him a comforting hug. “How’s it going, boo? We thought we’d drop by and say hi, you know?”
    Fucking Chad , I silently growled.
    “We?” Toby clarified. Of course he’d caught on.
    Steeling my broken heart, I slowly strode past the hallway before I saw Chad a few feet away , standing by a half cracked door with what looked like a study behind him.
    “Hello,” I murmured, barely audible, but the air in th e room was still enough that my voice could cut through it like a blade.
    His casual stance stiffened the second he spotted me. His eyes then darkened as our gazes met. Every inch of me became pained at the sight of him, yet still, I couldn’t resist measuring him from head to foot, noting all the blatant as well as the subtle changes he possessed.
    He looked exhausted. Shattered.
    I looked at him like I had been starved for decades, not days. I would never get tired of him. That only had been proved to me once more.
    I saw his throat bob up and
