After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 34

<< Avery >>

I rush to Lena’s apartment in shame.

Fuck!

Why?

Why did I lash out like that?

Lena has been sitting next to me for the past half hour listening to my sob story. Even her plush sofa

is unable to comfort me today.

I have spent nights sleeping on it. When I felt too alone in my apartment and wanted to be near a sister. We would talk for hours, watch movies, then go to sleep. But today even this isn’t comforting

1. me.

“Media wasn’t interested in me when they got engaged. I am not sure what changed now.” I exclaim

in frustration.

Lena rubs my back to calm me down.

“They are a big name now… They also signed a big construction contract a few days back… Any news… Any gossip they can find now. Media will dig in.”

Her answer makes me feel worse. Because she is right. Ethan’s company made such a good name. I am sure he made my dad tons of money too. That could only explain how dad forgot me.

My shoulder slump again recalling how I lost my temper in front of that reporter. Now they will play that clip on replay… I cover my face in shame. It’s not good for my music company either.

SHIT!

I hope Noah doesn’t back off from our contract agreement when he sees this news. This company

and reputation matters to me.

“I have my life here, Dad…” I say, trying to control my voice from breaking. Trying to sound strong.

“I did…” He says in a calm voice. “You have no idea how much I looked for you…”

I find it hard to believe.

His voice breaks with emotion and tears slip out of my eyes.

A sob escapes my mouth, hearing words I never imagined he would say.

I thought nobody wanted me.

Dad tries to convince me to come home for good, but I only agree to visit him for a few days. I will come back to New York City after meeting him.

Lena hugs me as I cut the call and I say, “I hope I am not making a mistake by going to visit him…”

“No you are not,” she assures me.

The next day, Lena and I take a flight to Los Angeles. We land late in the evening and decide to stay at a fancy hotel.

Lena takes in a deep breath as we step out of the plane. She widens her arms and says, “California Baby!!! I missed you!”

I didn’t.

“What do you miss about this place?”

She sighs, “Fresh air! It’s not concrete all around. New York City is so fucking crowded and Oh God,
