The more he tried to drink himself unconscious, the more his heart throbbed with doubled agony.
Regret would consevery remaining moment of his future.
He had lost Sarah completely.
This brutal reality drove James to seek refuge in alcohol again and again.
Then a chance discovery revealed that another man was pursuing Sarah.
His investigation uncovered the man's sordid private life, filling James with both anxiety and rage. He wanted
nothing more than to drive away every man who dared covet Sarah.
At least then, even if he couldn't have her, he might find speace.
But all he could do was retreat into delusion, numbing himself in an endless void.
Nothing he imagined could ever becreality.
James let out a bitter laugh and threw back another shot.
Suddenly his eyes locked onto something across the room. His grip tightened around the glass until his knuckles
went white and veins bulged beneath his skin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeon had wandered into the bar on impulse, hunting for his usual thrills.
All it took was pulling up in his million-dollar sports car-gorgeous women would flock to him without a word. This
was his real life, the true Leon Spencer.
With a beauty draped on each arm, Leon strutted toward the VIP section, radiating satisfaction.
Halfway there, a swaying drunk suddenly blocked his path.
"Jesus Christ!" Leon scowled at James, who could barely stay upright. Those vicious eyes made his skin crawl.
"You... you..." Leon started to curse but choked on his own spit, doubling over in an embarrassing coughing fit.
James steadied himself and jabbed
a finger at Leon's nose. "You piece of trash aren't fit to shine her shoes. You have no right to want her Back off

"What kind of psycho are you? Do you have any idea who | am destroy you right now." s
James didn't even blink. "Are you even human? You're disgusting."
That crossed the line. If Leon let this slide, he'd never live it down.
The women sensed trouble and vanished into the crowd.
Leon's laugh was cold and sharp. He rolled his shoulders, cracking his knuckles. "You must have a death wish."
His fist flew toward James's face before the words had even left his mouth.
James squinted through his drunken haze, stumbling backward just enough to avoid the blow.
"You really will take anyone, won't you, Leon? Absolutely revolting."
Leon swung again. "lI don't owe you any explanations. Watch your mouth. What makes you think you're any
better than me?"
He knew all about James and Sarah's history-every ugly detail of their hatred.
The words hit their mark. James froze for just a moment, and Leon's fist connected hard with his jaw.
Pain exploded across his face as his cheek began to swell.
James collapsed onto a nearby couch, all fight draining out of hollow laugh escaped his lips.
