Nope.”

I don’t even hesitate.

You torched every way I had to reach you. Funny how you didn’t think ahead to this part.”

His brow furrows.

“Hold on-I thought you were the one who-”

Gwen stumbles out behind us, mascara smeared down her cheeks.

Hawk spins around and cracks her across the face.

“How much of it was lies?! How many times did you feed me bullshit?!”

She’s wailing now, barely coherent.

“I did it because I’m crazy about you! Everything-the fake papers, the setup-it was all so we could be together!”

“I got pregnant on purpose so you’d finally be free! So we could start over!”

“I did it all for you!”

Hawk laughs-this awful, hollow sound. Like he’s lost his mind.

Then he grabs my shoulders. Eyes wild.

Ten years, Sophia. We had a decade together. Just one more shot. That’s all I’m asking.”

“I promise-nobody’s ever gonna play me like this again.”

My phone dings.

Flight alert. Milan-bound. Boards in three hours.

I meet his gaze. Don’t blink.

“Not happening.”

He starts dropping to his knees.

Gwen throws herself at him, clawing at his sleeve.

“Stop! You can’t grovel to this bitch-

He tries to shake her off. She yanks harder.

Loses her footing.

Reels backward into traffic.

Chapter 9

A sedan comes screaming around the corner.

Hits her dead-on. Launches her like a ragdoll.

Blood pools on the asphalt.

Hawk glances over his shoulder. Barely processes it.

Turns right back to me. Still kneeling.

I’m not made of stone. Some part of me almost breaks.

But I know how this ends.

Cheaters don’t stop at one. They just get better at hiding it.

This version of him? I can’t fix that.

Summer materializes beside me. Grabs my arm and hauls me toward her car.

“Girl, why are you even entertaining this clown?”

She practically throws me into the passenger seat. Engine roars to life.

“You’ve got a plane to catch. And when you’re done conquering Milan? Trust me-there’ll be a whole lineup of men who actually deserve you.”

Hawk bolts for his car.

But the crash site’s completely gridlocked. He’s boxed in.

I catch one last look in the side mirror.

He’s sprinting down the street after us.

I face forward.

Close my eyes.

This is it. The final goodbye.

Milan.

New phone. New number. New everything.

I bury myself in design school. In freelance gigs. In building something that’s actually mine.

Whatever’s unraveling back in the States? Not my circus anymore.

Six months fly by.

One night, I’m scrolling through international business news.

Hawk Industries Collapses After Quarter Long Nosedive-Founder Hawk Carter Hospitalized Following Overdose Attempt.

I stare at the headline.

Nothing.

No anger. No satisfaction. No sadness.

Because whatever happens to him now?

That’s his story to finish.

Not mine.
