Jake could say those words so confidently because I had compromised so much over the past five years.
Every time he made a mistake, all it took was a token gift and a few half-hearted words of apology for me to forgive him without a second thought.
So, of course, he would assume that this time would be no different.
He was certain I would forgive him, just like always.
But not this time.
I had barely left the venue when my phone rang.
“Ms. James, that was just a joke earlier.
“Please come back. Mr. Stevens is about to marry Ms. Xanders.”
I let out a bitter laugh. While sitting comfortably in my brand-new Maybach, I responded with disdain.
“Let him.
“He can marry whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with me anymore.”
With that, I hung up without hesitation.
