Love Is Lost

Dad has a stroke and needs money to save his life. I'm left with no choice but to borrow money from my secret CEO boyfriend of five years.

Before I can even say anything, he frowns and tells me he's busy. Then, he hurries off to attend his childhood sweetheart's birthday celebration.

He only remembers me the following day. "What did you need?"

I hold Dad's death certificate and smile wanly at him. "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that we're over."
