"Rose, for the last time, I'm not treating you any kind of way. I told you we couldn't be friends anymore. That I needed to move on, and so should you." I could hear the tiredness in his voice. Being woken up to have a conversation you've already had.
"No, Cole, that's not true. I still love you. And you still love me. When did things change? We were doing good."
She was delusional. I wanted to come out there to make my presence known. Deep down, I knew that wouldn't be the right thing to do. It would only make the situation worse.
"Things changed months before we broke up. I'm sorry that I didn't give you a clean break. We shouldn't have continued sleeping together. But Rose, you have to move on because I don't love you. I'm not in love with you. I haven't been for a long time now."
"I know there's another woman. I bet she's here right now. That's why you're blocking the hall so I won't go in that direction," she pointed out.
"So what if there is, Rose? Did you not hear what I said?"
"That bitch stole you from me. We were going to get back together. We were supposed to be a family."
"Not anymore."
"I'm pregnant, Cole. I've been trying to tell you, but you won't answer any of my calls."
✨SNIPPET END ✨
Lauryn has never been good at love.
She falls too fast. Trusts too easily. Chooses the wrong man at exactly the wrong time.
Three years ago, she swore off relationships for good-no more heartbreak, no more humiliation, no more losing herself for someone who wouldn't choose her back.
Then she meets Cole.
The connection is instant. Dangerous. The kind that feels inevitable.
Cole isn't just any man.
The way he looks at her? It makes her want to break every promise she made to herself.
There's only one problem.
Cole is her old friend Rose's ex-boyfriend.
And when Rose finds out, it won't just be messy. It will be war.
