Everly POV

Tears of frustration streaked down my face as I stormed away from him. Zoe and Macey were waiting, but I was too upset to speak to them as I ran to my office. Both of them followed me inside, and Macey was clutching a piece of paper in her hand.

“You ok?” Macey asks, and I nod. However, I was anything but ok. That was Valerie’s car, I know it was silly, but it was hers, just like everything of hers I kept down in the storage lockers. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away.

“You didn’t tell him,”

“Of course not,” I nod in relief.

” I’ll handle this, then I will come and grab the kids from school with you, ” I tell Zoe, who nods.

“Also, one of the fridges is down; I have sent for an electrician, ” Macey adds as they are leaving. This day couldn’t get any worse.

However, I spoke too soon. No electrician would come out, not even a handyman. I went through my contact list of rogues with different trades looking for anyone with any skills with appliances or electricals but found none. Zoe’s daughter’s father was away from the City visiting his mate’s family, so we couldn’t as for his help either.

When it was time to pick up the kids, Zoe met me by her car at the hotel’s front.

“Any luck?”

“No,” I groan.
