Chapter 134: Flies in High Places    

[EVE]

Ever since Cole told me to forget the past and start over, I made peace with it.

I still didn't want him in my life—that much was certain—but I wasn't complaining about this setup either.

It was clear I had no control over his decisions; he was going to do what he wanted no matter what. So instead of letting his presence weigh on me, I decided to go with the flow . . . for now.

There were too many things I needed to focus on, goals I had to achieve, and worrying about Cole constantly wouldn't help.

The sooner I accomplished everything I set out to do, the sooner I could get away and live in a far-off place, away from all the drama in my life.

The only thing was . . . I'd definitely miss Sinclair, Sebastian, Hyun, and Victor.
