I scrambled to get them, but his hold was unrelenting as he dragged me to the door.
"I wanted to be civil about this, maybe even keep you for when Stacy became too much," he whispered as he opened the door. "But now I see you're not worth the trouble."
He tossed me out into the cold and slammed the door in my face.
I banged on the door, screaming for my keys and wallet, but Vincent ignored me.
I was left outside with no way to get into my car and no money to get a hotel room.
With nothing left to do, I made my way into the street, hoping to hitchhike my way to a friend's house.
A car pulled up beside me, and I sighed in relief when I saw the familiar face of Sebastian's assistant, Mattew.
I got into the car, and he drove me away from the life I had worked so hard to build, with nothing but the clothes on my back.
Lily's POV
We arrived at Sebastian's home a few hours later.
I was welcomed with a warm shower, fresh clothes, and dinner he insisted on having with me.
Sebastian rolled into the dining room as casually as he would have strolled in.
I tried not to stare at his legs, covered by a blanket, as he took his place at the table.
