But this? This twas different. This felt like he was losing her for real.
“Let go of me!” Hadley thrashed in his arms, fighting with everything she had.
“Hadley, don’t leave!” Eric held on tightly, his grip firm and desperate. Exhausted, Hadley collapsed in his arms.
And finally, the tears cand fell quietly down her cheeks.
“How long are you going to keep hurting me?”
“Hadley?” Eric mumbled, helpless as she wept in his arms.
“You told me... You said | was the only one. That you'd never cheat. You lied to me. You lied!” she murmured

“No, | won't!”
“Go away!” She started struggling again, pushing against him. But no matter how hard she fought, he refused to
let her go.
“Hadley!” Eric dropped to his knees and clung to her like his life depended on it. When he looked up at her, his
eyes were filled with pain and humility.
“It's my fault! Whatever punishment you think | deserve, I'll take it. But please... don’t leave me. I'm begging

“Ah...” Hadley stared down at the man kneeling before her. Her head was pounding. The sight of him on his
knees only made it worse. She took a shaky breath and forced herself to stay firm.
“Get up. This doesn’t mean anything.”
Tears stung her eyes, clouding her vision, but her voice was steady. “Eric, you're still hung up on Linda. And now
you've slept with Ayla. How could | ever accept a man like you? Someone so filthy, inside and out?”
Her words cfast, sharp with rage.
“What do you takefor? A trash can? You think I'm so desperate I'd want garbage like you?”
Garbage? She just called him garbage.
Eric felt the blow like a knife to the chest.
“Let go!” Hadley shoved him away with everything she had and ran.
Hadley ran back to the set and dashed into the ladies’ room. She turned the faucet on and splashed cold water
on her face. Her makeup was ruined by tears.
She leaned closer to the mirror and stared at her reflection. Her eyes were already swollen from crying.
“What are you doing, Hadley? What's wrong with you?” Hadley whispered to herself. “Why is this happening?”
She closed her eyes and felt another wave of tears slide down her cheeks.
She wasn’t crying because of someone else. She was crying because of herself. Because she was furious and
hurt.
