Adrian's POV
I couldn't figure out how to make Stella forgive me anymore. Weeks had dragged by like this. What kind of fool was I to fall for Penelope's manipulative games? But I had to find some way back to her. I couldn't just let Stella slip away from me.
Yesterday at Sterling's place, seeing her again hit me like a punch to the gut. She looked absolutely stunning, more radiant than ever. But the moment I walked through that door, she bolted. That's how it always went now. Every time our paths crossed, she'd vanish before I could even get a word out.
"Adrian, snap out of it! Are you even listening to me?" Chloe's sharp voice cut through my thoughts as she snapped her fingers inches from my nose.
"Sorry, Chl. My mind was somewhere else," I muttered, straightening up in my leather office chair.
