“Mr. Lloyd!” Her voice was trembling with despair. “I thought you actually cared about Renee, I never expected you to treat her like this!”
The mention of Renee made his head throb. “What now?”
Renee was a closed chapter–his mind was consumed with Claire. Whatever drama Renee brought, he wasn’t interested.
“Renee took pills! She tried to kill herself!”
“What?” Finley was momentarily stunned, then quickly snapped back. “What stunt is she pulling now? I’m busy. If it’s real, take her to the hospital. I’m not getting dragged into this.”
As he turned, Megan grabbed his arm, eyes wide with disbelief.

“How can you just walk away? She refused to have her stomach pumped! And when she woke up and didn’t see you, she
threatened to jump off the roof!”
Finley didn’t even blink. “That’s on her. Not my problem.”
Megan’s voice cracked. “How can you be so heartless? You gave her false hope! She hasn’t eaten, hasn’t slept, won’t go to set–if
this keeps up, she’ll destroy her career! You were her boyfriend once. Do you really not care?”
He exhaled sharply. Fine. It was a human life.
At the hospital, Renee lay in bed, pale as a ghost. The moment she saw him, her lashes fluttered, lips trembling
“You’re here?”
“Why?” Finley asked. “Why would you do this over me? You were never this pathetic before.”
