Let Me Go Ex (Emma and Braydon) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Emma’s face was pale, her fingernails digging deep into her palms.

She hadn’t expected the rumors to spiral out of control this far. In everyone’s eyes, she’d become a disgraceful villain in someone else’s

story.

Just as she turned to leave, a group of socialites blocked her path.

Mrs. Lederer, where are you going? The party’s just getting started.

Come hang out with us!

whispers of awe, Braydon scooped up Emma, soaked and trembling, and stormed out of the party.

In the lounge, he brought her a dry towel and gently began drying her hair.

Emma, I know you’ve been wronged. This is all my fault.His voice was soft. I promisesomething like today will never happen again.

Just hang in there a little longer, okay? Once Caitlin has the baby, I’ll send her overseas. Then everything will go back to the way it was between us.

either.
