Chapter 11

Jayden's POV
I stared at the glass in my hand, the ice cubes inside the drink clinking against one another as I shook the glass back and forth. The loudness of the club was a distraction against the cold betrayal suffocating my chest. Kate's face, her tear stained cheeks, begging for my forgiveness, was still clear in my mind, only for her to crawl back to her ex-husband. I tried to convince myself that I was not interested in what was happening between her and Michael, but it was hard to shake off the sense of being manipulated. I had fallen for her too, fallen for those goddamn tears that seemed to flow so easily when she needed something.
Kate was the only woman that made me feel love again after the death of my wife, Ashley's Mother. I thought we had something going on until she changed her mind and decided to date my best friend, Micheal. And as time went on Micheal fell in love with her and proposed, It was the worst day of my life. The woman I love got married to my best friend and I couldn't do anything about it. But that still didn't stop me from loving her. I couldn't stop loving her, which led me to the man I am today. A man that betrays his best friend.
