If Your Heart Doesn’t Lean Towards Me I Don’t Want It Chapter 11
Ellis froze.
He looked from Lucian to me, his expression shifting from shock to disbelief, then to fury.
“Coralie Ricci, who is this?”
I looked at him.
“A breakup doesn’t require mutual consent, Ellis.”
“The day you walked out of that hospital room for Tessa, we were already over.”
Ellis started to explain, an instinct born of habit.
“That night—”
I cut him off.
“That night, I gave you a choice. You made it.”
Ellis’s voice rose, and he pointed a shaking finger at Lucian.
“You can’t just grab some random guy to try and make me jealous!”
Lucian let out a quiet laugh, but his voice was ice-cold.
“I think you have me mistaken, Ellis. I’m not some random guy.”
He stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of me.
“The woman you failed to value happens to mean the world to me.”
“Frankly, I should thank you. You’re the one who pushed her away.”
Ellis went completely still.
Lucian took a folded document from his pocket and held it out.
“You and Tessa are still so close. I’ll trouble you to pass this along to her.”
“It’s a court summons. Illegal distribution of intimate images is a serious crime. We’ll see you in court.”
Ellis’s face went slack. He looked at me, his voice pleading.
