“What? Liana, wait-what do you mean you have to go? You were gone for ten minutes and now-“
“I know. I just-” My voice cracked. “I can’t do this right now.”
I grabbed my purse, my hands fumbling with the strap.
“Did something happen?” Simon was stepping closer, trying to understand. “Liana, please, just talk to me.”
“I have to go,” I said again. It was all I could say. I couldn’t think of anything else.
He reached out, but I pulled away. Not harshly. Just enough to make him stop.
“At least let me walk you out. Or call you a cab. Don’t just run off like this.”
I shook my head and finally looked at him, just for a second
And it broke me.
His eyes were so confused. So soft. So concerned. He didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve me walking out on him after I’d agreed to meet him after he waited after he thought maybe there was something here.
But I couldn’t explain it. How could I possibly tell him I just let another man fuck me in the restroom while he was sitting here thinking we were on a date?
How?So I just whispered, “I’m sorry,” one more time.
And walked away.
I didn’t look back.
Not once.
The air outside hit me like a slap. It was cooler than I expected, and I stood there for a second trying to breathe. Trying to understand what the hell just happened.
But all I could feel was my heartbeat.
And the sound of Killian’s voice in my head.
“You’ll never belong to anyone else but me.”
God help me. was starting to believe it.
Killian’s POV
“Fuck!”
I slammed my fist into the tiled wall, hard enough that the guy walking in, some poor dude just trying to take a piss, jumped back a step.
“Hey, man, you good?”
I didn’t even look at him. I just ran a hand through my hair, breathing hard, then punched the wall again.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
What the hell did I just do?
She left. She fucking left.
I didn’t want it to go down like that. I didn’t plan any of it. I just saw her sitting there with that bastard Simon, smiling like she belonged to someone else, and I snapped. I couldn’t think straight. I just reacted.
And now she was gone. She walked out without saying a damn word to me. Not even a glance back.
I walked out of the restroom, jaw clenched, blood still buzzing in my ears. When I got to the table, she wasn’t there. Just him.
Simon.
Sitting there like he had the right.
“Where the hell is she?” I barked.
He looked up, confused, then his expression shifted. Recognition hit his face like a wave.
“You-” he said. “You’re Ryan’s dad. You’re that asshole who’s been making Liana’s life hell.”
I didn’t answer.
I just grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to his feet.
“Whoa-hey! What are you doing?!”
I punched him
Hard
Right in the jaw
He stumbled back into the table, knocking over a glass of water, but I didn’t stop. I grabbed his shirt again and punched him a second time
People were standing now. Some yelling Someone shouted for security. I didn’t care.
“Stay the hell away from her?” I growled, voice low and furious. “Do you hear me? Stay the fuck away from Liana *
He was bleeding now Lip busted Eyes wide
“You’re insane,” Simon spat. “You think she wants to be with you? after everything you’ve done to her?”
I stepped back, chest heaving I looked around Everyone was watching Someone had pulled out a phone.
Great”Stay away from my woman!” I snapped angrily more to myself than anyone.
Then I turned and walked out.
I didn’t run after her to her dad’s house.
No. I didn’t.
Instead, I went straight to the hotel I checked into earlier that afternoon. My head was spinning, my fists were still sore from hitting that bastard, and my heart felt like it had been ripped out of my chest. I didn’t care about anything at that point. I didn’t care that people had seen what happened. I didn’t care if someone recorded it. I didn’t even care that she walked out and didn’t look back.
She left.
