Chapter 18

I swallowed hard and looked around frantically and took a deep breath as I answered his call.

“Hello.” I breathe out.

“Hi, Rebecca, Are you okay?” His voice was concerned. “I was so worried about you. You cut all your contact, not even a single message.” He continued.

“At least tell me if you are okay or not so I can be at peace.” He added.

A smile crept upon my lips as I replied, “Yeah, I am okay... You?”

“I am also fine… just missing you so I thought that I should ask how you are doing?”

“I.. am fine...” I replied vaguely which caused him to question.

“Really? Does he treat you right?” No. “You can tell me-” “Jayden…” I closed my eyes as the urge to cry and tell him everything aroused in me. I swallowed hard and after a brief pause I spoke up.

“Don’t call me again. I... am a married woman and...” I paused to find words.

“My...dignity doesn’t allow me to talk to any other man than him… especially someone to whom.. I am- was attracted.”
