Chapter 13 The realization hit hard , wiping out any trace of desire he had and leaving only dread and a deep , bone - deep shame . He shoved the girl away so hard she gasped , then reached for his whiskey glass and swallowed it down in one burning gulp . "Get out , " he growled , voice hoarse . The girl stormed out , cursing under her breath . Left alone in the suite , Dennis collapsed on the couch , covering his face with his arm . His heart pounded , not with lust , but with the crushing understanding that he had truly fallen for her . It wasn't just her body he was addicted to . Back in US , Travis and Chloe had become the campus golden couple . Everywhere they went , eyes followed them . Chloe held his arm and basked in the attention , smiling brighter than ever . Only Travis knew the truth - their " perfect " relationship was starting to fall apart at the seams . He found it harder and harder to pay attention to Chloe . Even during dates , he'd catch himself zoning out , wondering what Luna was doing across the ocean . Whenever his staff reported that Dennis had struck out again , Travis felt a brief , secret satisfaction , quickly replaced by annoyance - Dennis was still there , still chasing . " Travis ? " Chloe tugged on his arm , pouting , " Are you even listening to me ? I said there's a new necklace out . I really want to check it out with you this weekend , okay ? " He snapped back to reality , hiding his impatience . " Sure , whatever you want . " She looked at him with teary eyes , her voice trembling . " What's going on with you lately ? You're always distracted , and you're cold to me now ... Do you not love me anymore ? Is it true , you only care before you get what you want ? " Here we go again .

He would pull her into his arms , soothe her , promise her anything . But now , looking at her tears , hearing her endless complaints , he felt nothing at all . Maybe even a trace of resentment . He forced himself to sound reassuring . " You're overthinking . I've just been busy with work and the company . " " Being busy isn't an excuse to ignore me ! I'm your girlfriend , not an afterthought . You used to have so much patience for me , now you don't even want to go shopping with me ... " Her demands , once endearing , now grated on him . Her tears no longer pulled at his heartstrings . They just made him want to escape . He realized he couldn't love Chloe the way he once thought he did . The love he had chased for over a decade turned out to be hollow and insipid . He felt like he was only pretending to be the perfect boyfriend , going through the motions of dates and gifts , while feeling emptier with each passing day . The breaking point finally came during a routine dinner . The foie gras at their favorite restaurant tasted a little different that night . Chloe took one bite , wrinkled her nose , and set her fork down . " Travis , this is wrong . I'm sure it's not fresh ! Make them take it back . " Travis tried it and shrugged , " It's fine . Let it go . " " I'm not eating it ! You know how picky I am ! This whole place is too noisy . Let's go somewhere else . " He stared at her , face full of petulant complaints . All the months of pent - up frustration , resentment , and emptiness came bubbling up . He set down his fork with a loud clatter and looked up , his voice sharper than it had ever been with Chloe .
