Prologue
My grandfather Walter looked so sad as he watched her leave through the store window. He was still standing there, like she might suddenly have a change of heart and come running back, to the store or too his arms it didn't matter to him. He just wanted her back.
He watched her get into his red BMW 328i convertible. I stood by his side and put my arm around his once proud shoulders, now dropping with utter sadness. I wish I could do something to ease his pain.
Hell, I wish I could do something about my guilt... I am such a bitch. I am to blame for this.. I knew full well what I was getting myself into after I confronted Scarlett and she had no choice but to let me in on it.
I never intended for things to go this far. All I wanted to was to rebuild a relationship with my grandfather, and earn enough money so I could leave Nicolas. I never intended for Nicholas to get hurt, or for my mother to have a nervous breakdown. I never intended for my grandfather to be broken and most importantly...... I never intended to fall in love with Scarlett.
His once shiny black hair, now gray, hung slightly over the top rim of his glasses. His normally bright blue eyes were full of sadness. " I just can't believe she would up and quite " He said." Did I do something wrong?"
No grandpa, you heard her, she wants to move, too many bad memories for her. I said in the most comforting voice I could muster. He walked to the door one last time and opened it, checking if she changed her mind. He decided, to finally lock it and close the store blinds.
Hopefully he believed me. If not.... it would kill him to know what we did. His heart just couldn't take all the lies from the last few months. Hopefully he believed me, or he could quite possibly kill me for my betrayal. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him.
