Chapter 4

Word quickly spread that Brandon and I were having problems.

Everyone in the industry said he'd fallen for Willow.

He took her to candlelit dinners, bought her houses and cars. Sometimes he’d even rent out an entire amusement park just to ride silly carousels with her.

He liked her so much, he practically wanted to give her the world.

Even that ruby necklace I'd wanted so badly, the one I could never find, Brandon recently bought it.

I thought he'd give it to Willow.

But one morning, I woke up to find the necklace resting quietly on my bedside table.

Next to it was a note that read: "Happy Anniversary."

It was Brandon's handwriting.

I silently crumpled the note and tossed it in the trash.

I couldn't understand Brandon's intentions anymore, and I didn't want to.
