Stella's POV
After Adrian left, I remained in bed, contemplating my next move. Perhaps forgiving him at Hazel and Liam's wedding would be the perfect symbolic gesture to restart our relationship.
The sudden beep of my phone interrupted my thoughts. I reached for it on the nightstand, unprepared for what awaited me. An unknown number had sent a photo that felt like a dagger to my heart—Adrian with his arms wrapped around Emily, wearing the exact same clothes he'd had on when leaving my house earlier. The background revealed they were at the Community Guild parking lot. Today. Right after seeing me.
Rage bubbled up inside me. That lying, cheating jerk! After everything we'd been through, after all his promises and declarations, he'd gone straight to her. I was done shedding tears over him. Instead of crying, I made myself some tea, returned to bed, and somehow managed to fall asleep despite the storm of emotions inside me.
