Kylie Bray (Love, Hate and Billions) novel Chapter 37

I retort looking out the window for any sign of my cousin, thinking- why the fuck did I think Dexter and I in a car was a good Idea.

“Money isn't going to heal my fucking ankle Kylie, you ruined my career.”

I roll my eyes at that one, but inside his statement has guilt weighing heavily on my conscience.

My temper tantrum left permanent damage to his ankle.

Even if we both know he was never going to have that football career with his dad passing on. But I don't say it, we both know it.

After another ten minutes with his broody face, I have had it.

“Okay, I am sorry I ran you over with my car.” I apologize loudly, exasperated that I have to even say it.

“Sorry isn't going to do shit,” He snaps back.

“Well excuse me for trying to be nice, what the fuck is the problem because we both know it ain't me hittin' you with my car, so spill the beans or shut up because now you just pissing me off,” I bellow.

“The mighty Kylie is pissed, boohoo welcome to the fuckin' real world, it sucks doesn't it.”

He glower's and if his look could kill me right now, lord knows I'll be in hell already getting kicked out.

“You don't know the meaning of the term life sucks, spend a day in my life then come say it to my asshole, stop the car, WE ARE DONE HERE.”

The tires squeal to a standstill somewhere in the middle of town and after a call to Dainy I am swapping cars. With Rae now stuck with the moody Dexter Kent and me, myself and I speeding off with Dainy.

“Do I want to know,” Dainy muses

“Besides the fact he is an impetuous self-hating jackass, no you don't, let's go find your man crazy Dainy.”

We've both quieten on our drive. Dainy lost in her own mind. While mine just riddles me with the never-ending guilt I feel about hurting the people I care about to the brink that they hate me.

I do care about Dexter and deep down I feel like shit for doing what I did.

And though I would never admit it, I deserve his harsh remarks, I deserve his hatred toward me.

I hurt people in my life more than others do, because deep down I am hurt.
