Scarlett POV
“You tell me.”
I walked into my room and shut the door behind me.
Then I locked it.
I leaned against the door and stared through the window.
Jaxen had no right to control who I dated.
Ryan and I weren’t doing anything wrong.
But somehow, Jaxen still felt like a wall standing between us.
I was tired of hiding Ryan.
Tired of feeling like I was doing something wrong when I wasn’t.
How was I supposed to get Jaxen out of this house?
Moving back to Regina’s place crossed my mind.
But the house technically belonged to Jaxen. He could take it back whenever he wanted, and I wouldn’t put it past him to make things difficult for Regina too.
It felt like every option led back to him.
A sharp ache started behind my eyes.
I pressed my fingers hard against my temples
