I let go of her shoulders like her skin burned.Maybe it didn't, but the way she was staring up at me burned.

I took a step backwards.

Then another.

Keeping a good distance between us .

I closed my eyes briefly, my jaws ticked continuously.

Even now she believed that I was going to hurt her.

It was the greatest betrayal of all.

"Get out!" I growled.

"Hayden I..."

My gaze snapped open as I glared at her icily.

"I fucking asked you to get out!!" I seethed even louder this time.

I didn't wait for her to obey me.

I grabbed her arms roughly , in two quick strides I shoved her out the door, slamming the door closed with a loud bang.

I wanted the raw anger.

I wanted to rage.

But the only thing pulsating through my veins in this moment was devastation.

Chapter SEVENTY TWO

GRACIE

I stared in a daze-like state as the door slammed close merely inches away from my face, a part of my brain went numb, I couldn't think of anything .

But I could feel everything just fine.

The pain was raw, burning .....intense, tearing my insides and coursing through my veins like molten lava.

He had look so dark , I had felt the dark intense rage emanating from him, it had shaken my core with terror.

For a moment I saw HIM.I had feared that HE was back.

I cowered.

Then he had suddenly let go like he had been scorched by my action .

The act of him letting go of me had snapped something in me, but it had been too late.

The fear hadn't left me, but it was a different kind, this time I was afraid for him.

The damage had been done already to him.

I was hurt.Then I had hurt him.

My body trembled uncontrollably, I knew deep in my bones that I just lost two people.
