Romeo opted for the outhouse.
Chad had cleaned the place up, and there was no sign it had been Romeo’s cage a day earlier.He did what he could on the gym clutching his right hand to his chest while using the leg press, and only working out his left arm.It didn’t satisfy him in the way his workouts usually did.
He could exhaust his body, but his mind was a constant swirl with Chad the eye of the storm and the monster snarling and snapping from the other side just waiting for Romeo to let it out.
It was only later when he was unable to sleep in bed, Romeo thought back to the bridge.The fog of anger had left him, and he frowned, remembering how Chad had spoken in the car.
Like he was the detective again.
Chad was looking at his own suicide attempt like it was a case.
Chapter Thirteen
Not knowing how longthe betrayal had gone on for brought the anger back.
For how many days, weeks,months, had Chad been filling Romeo’s head with lies, promises about how much they loved each other, and they were meant to be together, knowing he planned to leave Romeo behind.
He grew feelings in Romeo that had never been there before, made him burn with protectiveness and growl with possessiveness.
Romeo loved him fiercely with all of himself.
Chad had hurt him.No one hurt him.
His biggesthurtcame from resisting the monster for so long.
But other people couldn’t affect him.
Just Chad.
Because he’d made Chad more.
He’d made him everything.
And that had resulted in the worst pain he’d ever experienced.
If only he wasallmonster, then it never would’ve happened.
