I knew it was a game. Damn but a good game it was for as long as it lasted.
"Let me go." I whisper.
He stares at me. His face turning so cold. "Fine." He says letting up on the grip of my arm.
"I'm done playing this game."

Magazines, articles, news stories. All things I've tried my best to avoid. My life was just simpler when I didn't have a camera shoved in my face. When I didn't have people asking about my relationships. But here I am, walking to some stupid ass coffee shop with Keira to feed the paparazzi with speculation that we're dating.
I couldn't let out that me and my personal assistant had an affair. It would ruin both of our lives. More her's than mine and I don't want that for her. As she's an employee and I care about my employees.
"Victoria's going to marry Devin." Keria finally said as we reached inside the coffee shop.
I ignored her as we sat down at a table in the back.
"She asked me to invite you to the wedding." She mumbled.
I scoffed. "Yeah because I would go to my ex-fiancé and ex-best friends wedding. She's on coke if she thinks I'm going."
"Get over it. It's been two fucking years." She crossed her arms over her chest with a scowl on her face.
Get over it? How the fuck do I forget five years of my life with someone. How do I forget about the love that consumed me when we were together. Tell me how in the hell am I going to forget that we were supposed to get married that weekend I found out. I can't.
I didn't respond to her. My eyes traveled across the coffee shop in hopes the paparazzi would leave soon. After a good thirty minutes they finally scattered and left us alone.
Keira leaned onto the table. "Why did you keep me as your personal assistant?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I pitted you." That was a lie. I kept her around for a year because she was the only link I had to Victoria. If I couldn't have her at least I would have her sister to tell me things. But it got complicated and I moved on. Kinda.
"Well you shouldn't have." She mumbled.
I know I shouldn't have, but the damage is already done. I can't turn back time and wish I tried it differently, coped differently.
"Let's get out of here. I don't want to stay here any longer than I need to." I pushed out of my chair and stood up. Not waiting for her to agree or disagree.
We walked down the sidewalk towards my car. I breathed in the fresh summer air. God, I really hate people. Keira hooked her arm around mine making me tense.
When we approached my car I walked over to the drive's side. "Aren't you going to open my door?" She grumbled.
I shook my head. "No, you have arms don't you." I pulled open my door but stopped as I heard a familiar someone.
I looked around for them and that's when I spotted her. Her beautiful brown hair, her gorgeous skin. Her stupid laugh that I hate so much. Her and Scarlett walked out of a cafe smiling and laughing. Anastasia turned slightly, the wind swaying through her hair. I turned my head to shield my face. I hurriedly opened the car door and got inside. I wiped a hand over my face to gain my composure.
