Chapter 81 Ethan's Downfall

• "You're not answering my calls, Jasmine."
• The text comes up on my screen, Ethan's name flashing across. I let out a sigh, ignoring it like I have the last three times. My thumb lingers on the delete button for a second before I shut my phone off altogether. I'm not his crutch anymore; he needs to figure this out on his own.
• I refocus my attention on my laptop, opening up the new contract I just signed with Hartman. A giant leap but in control. My terms, my rules. Ethan lingers in my head-a shadow that refuses to disappear.
