Chapter 19

"Fuck you," I say. Embarrassment is a lethal addition to the cesspool of emotions I am feeling.

Linc's face doesn't change. He just levels a look at me that is neutral and infuriatingly hot.

"So, you are immune to the guilt? Did you even love my mother at all, then? Were you already cheating on her with multiple women, that fucking her daughter is no big deal to you? Is that what this is?" I am clutching at straws here, my rage is clouding my common sense. I want to hurt him with my words just the way he is hurting me with his right now.

How can we fuck so passionately the night before, and he is pushing me away this morning?

"Now, listen to me, Amelia..." Linc's voice has gone steely.

"Fuck you!" I yell, getting out of my seat. I don't want to hear anything anymore. I am so close to breaking down in tears, and I don't want to do that in his office. I already look pathetic enough, and my guilt over what we did is clawing at my throat, making it hard to breathe
