“Promise?” I asked, wiping my eyes.
“Promise,” he said. “Just hang on a little bit more. Can you do that? Let her go for now. So she can get better. So we can create a safe world for her. Please, brother. We need to do this for her. Someday, we will tell her everything. Now is the time to fight. Are you willing to fight?”
“Yes, but Enzo, she even took the fucking cat. Cotton is gone, too.”
“It’s OK. Come back here. We’ll give her a few days to collect the rest of her things.”
“What if she fucks Anson?” I voiced one of my fears. “What if-if she dies?”
“She won’t. Anson will look after her.”
“That’s what I’m scared of!”
“She won’t, Cole,” he said gently. “He’s all she thinks she has right now. She won’t jeopardize that by adding sex to theequation. Plus, he’s loyal to Bianca. We both know that. We have time.”
I swallowed. As much as I hated Ass Hat, Enzo was right. The prick was a loyal cocksucker.
“OK.” I nodded. “Fine.”
“Good. I’ll see you soon, OK? E is still sleeping, but I don’t know how he’ll be when he wakes. I’d like you to be here, and fucking don’t tell him what Rosalie did. He doesn’t need to hear it.”
“OK,” I agreed before saying goodbye. I lay back against the cushions and cried softly.
I didn’t know how we’d get through this. We’d lost Fox, and now Rosalie was gone.
And with that fucking prick.
“Cole?” Jamie called out.
I wiped hastily at my eyes before sitting up to see her standing there with her suitcase.
“Do you need a ride to the airport?”
“No. I, uh, called a cab.”
I nodded.
“Did Colten leave?” she asked tentatively.
“Yeah. Must have been around five this morning.” I glanced at her to see a muscle working along her jaw. I didn’t want to get into whatever the fuck was going on there. I had enough of my own problems.
She shuffled for a moment.
“Cole?”
“What?”
“It’s really fucked up what you guys did to Rosalie.”
“I know,” I muttered.
“D-Did Enzo really cheat on her, or is he doing this to push her away?”
I swallowed, knowing I had made a promise.
“He cheated,” I confirmed softly. “She’s pregnant. They’re getting married soon. A small ceremony. He bought them a house and they’ll be together.”
Her voice was shaky when she spoke again. “And you? Are you… with them?”
