Chapter 17\u00a0<\/p>\n
The photo was still loading when his phone rang. It was Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he answered, her sobs hit him like a physical low.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened? What\u2019s wrong?\u201d His chest tightened, panc sharpening his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But no matter how urgently he pressed, Angela just wept, refusing to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helpless, Trey softened his tone. \u201cWhere are you? Are you at home? I\u2019m coming to you right now, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, the line went dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cold dread washed over him. Without a second thought, he made hurried apologies to his clients and rushed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought of Angela in danger felt like having his soul ripped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily, he hadn\u2019t drunk much. He kept calling her as he drove until, finally, on the fifth try, his call was picked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngela, what on earth happened-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not Angela. This is Kirsten. You\u2019d better come to Q Bar She\u2019s completely wasted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kirsten Jackson, Angela\u2019s best friend, owned Q Bar in Goldmont City. Years ago, when Trey was secretly pursuing Angela, they\u2019d often met there under Kirsten\u2019s watchful eye\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m on my way!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey hung up and sped toward the bar, arriving in under fifteen minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside a private booth, Angela was slumped against Kirsten\u2019s shoulder, her face flushed, body swaying as she slurred about wanting another drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The table was littered with empty bottles. She\u2019d clearly had far too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngela\u2026 what is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sight stunned him and broke his heart. In all their years together, Angela had never touched alcohol. She was always so careful about her health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrey, don\u2019t you think you\u2019ve gone too far?\u201d Kirsten\u2019s voice was like ice. \u201cDo you have any idea how much Angela has sacrificed for you? And now, because of that woman, you\u2019re going back on your word to her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she saw him, Kirsten\u2019s expression hardened. She pulled Angela closer, physically blocking him from approaching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKirsten, what are you talking about? How have I gone back on my word?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exhaustion weighed heavily on him. Seeing Angela like this was bad enough; now he had to deal with Kirsten\u2019s accusations. He was at a loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kirsten pulled out her phone and slammed it on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the screen was her text history with Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela hadn\u2019t slept at all last night\u2013she\u2019d spent the whole night pouring her heart out to Kirsten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the past few days, Trey had grown distant and cold, dismissive of her feelings, completely preoccupied with\u00a0<\/p>\n
172\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe. Last night, he\u2019d even secretly messaged Khloe again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela had been devastated, yet she hadn\u2019t wanted Trey to worry. So she confided only in Kirsten, bearing her sorrow alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to get involved,\u201d Kirsten said, her eyes blazing. \u201cBut I know what\u2019s going on with you and Khloe. Don\u2019t you dare tell me it\u2019s nothing. You can\u2019t mess with Angela like this. After everything she\u2019s been through, what do you take her for?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kirsten had been overjoyed when Angela finally moved back in with Trey. After five long years, her friend had finally gotten the life she deserved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, in just a few days, she\u2019d been reduced to this\u2013humiliated and broken, drowning her sorrows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kirsten had reached her limit. She called Trey here to confrent him, to stand up for Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to use Khloe to handle your family? Fine,\u201d she spat. \u201cBut you do not get to cast Angela aside because of her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got it all wrong. There\u2019s nothing between me and Khloe. Last night was\u2026 a special circumstance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care what \u2018special circumstance\u2018 it was,\u201d Kirsten shot back, cutting him off. \u201cWhat I do know is this: Angela bet her entire life on your promise. I will not let you make her lose everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
