Faking It to Make It (Back to You)

Summary

After successfully "capturing" the villain and faking my own death to escape, I’ve somehow been resurrected.

When my name comes up, Julian Thorne looks cold, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Why would she think I’d throw my life away for her again?"

"I'm not that pathetic."

I get it. Message received. I start keeping my distance.

But not long after, I receive a video of a very drunk Julian.

In the video, he’s screaming his heart out, teary-eyed and desperate.

"She’s ignoring me again."

"I don't want to live anymore."

"I'm just going to drop dead right here."
