Jack's POV
My eyes remained glued to the screen of the phone, my mind completely shattered in misery.
After a moment, I answered the call.
But it hung up instantly just after I slid to take it.
My heart dropped.
She was mad at me.
My jaw clenched, and my heart raced hard in my chest at the realization.
Something stirred inside me. Something real. Something unusual. I felt it deep in my bones.
I quickly called back. It rang once, twice, then on the third ring, the call redirected.
I froze, still holding the phone in my hand.
Did she just block my lines?
I gritted my teeth, uncertainty shredding every part of my being. I could feel it deep down, that whoever was behind this silly act just wanted nothing other than...
The words hitched in my heart.
Never!
Catherine is mine and mine alone. No one dares play a funny one on me and gets scot-free.
I dropped the phone back on the bed, my head throbbing slightly, my gaze shutting briefly.
