C9 The Decision no one Wants

Lexi's POV

I lasted two days.

Two whole days of pretending my insides weren’t cracking open every second I was awake. Two days of ignoring the business card shoved in the back of my drawer, hoping it might disappear if I just stopped looking at it.

Two days of thinking about $500,000 a month and still hating myself for it.

I didn’t tell anyone.

Not Dan.

Not Aria.

Especially not Aria
