Chapter 53 : Straight to Voicemail

*Michael*

*Earlier that morning*

“How long have you made it a habit of sleeping with my friends?” Lauren’s voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

My heart sank, and I took a few steps back to make sure Shelby was still on the deck reading. Fortunately, she was out of earshot of my conversation.

“What are you talking about, Lauren?” I asked, fishing for more information.

“I know you were hooking up with Shelby on the yacht. Leave it to that slut to not only ruin my engagement but also to sleep with my father,” Lauren said with disgust.

“Lauren, your engagement fell apart because he was a cheater. It had nothing to do with Shelby.”

“It had everything to do with Shelby; if she weren’t there, his entire focus would have been on me,” she continued in a whiny voice that always grated on my nerves.
