BREATHE: A Billionaire Romance, Part 2

Derek Sholts had fallen from grace. And I had made the mistake of giving a damn.

It didn’t matter that he used his illness as a crutch for me to pity him. The fact of it was, that I did pity him.

I gave a damn, regardless of whether or not I wanted to.

My mama always told me that I was too good, and I guess part of being ’too good’ was giving a damn even when you had no reason to.

And giving a damn meant being there; even if Polly was mad at me; even if his step-brother/doctor gave me the heebie-jeebies; even if the workplace was a total slaughterhouse of firings and layoffs; and even if I couldn’t stand him. I had to be there.

I just had to…

But the question was, was there more to the story than a horrible man meeting a horrible fate?

NOTE:
This is part 2 of a 5 part serial. Steamy read. Cliffhanger ending.
