Chapter 75

SEBASTIAN

Loren’s message came in just as I was reviewing the supplier reports.

I frowned, reading it twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Her place? As in Loren’s? What the hell was Dahlia doing there? Why the fuck is she there?

My pen dropped from my hand, rolling across the desk. For hours, I’d been doing everything I could to keep my mind off her… burying myself in invoices, staff schedules, anything that wasn’t the echo of her voice or the unread messages still sitting in my phone.

Why exactly was I doing that? I seriously can’t tell.

Am I angry? Yes. Not mad at her…maybe a little. But mad at that fool called Adrian, and then largely, myself. Maybe I’ve been avoiding her because I don’t know how to face her, explaining why I let her go with Adrian…why I couldn’t even claim my territory. She must think I’m not man enough.

But this? This text knocked the breath out of me.

Dahlia. With Loren.

That combination spelled chaos.
