Pop!!! Eva popped open a bottle of champagne in a cheery mood with a bright smile on her face. "Wooh!" She exclaimed with a soft laugh. "To a new start!" She toasted and they all clinked their glasses together. "I can't drink any alcohol, I have a flight tonight and work immediately when the plane lands." Hunter said. "I can't believe you are leaving so soon." Eva said with a downcast look. "You could have spent some time with Georgia again." "Actually..." Georgia started as she dropped her glass of champagne on the table. "I spoke with my dad earlier today and I'm taking the offer so I have to head back to New York tonight." "That's great news! Let's all go back to New York together! Hold on, let me book a flight.". Eva excitedly announced before picking up her phone. "Wait, you want to go to New York too? I thought you were having a good time here in New Orleans? What about your business?" Georgia asked. "It's been a while since I've been to New York and I have family there as well. It won't be a bad idea to have your divorce party in New York also." Eva said with a smile. Eva had been a good friend to Georgia from the start. The only reason she was in New Orleans was because of Georgia who left New York to be with Sloane because her parents were against their marriage. But she was determined to be with him so she left her family and New York just for his sake. Eva wanted to always be there for her no matter what so she left New York as well and opened up a small business in New Orleans to sustain herself and keep herself busy. Georgia let out a soft chuckle. "Okay." "By the way, I'm sure he is going to love the gift you gave him. He won't believe you could ever be so bold!" Eva stated. "It's all thanks to you, Hunter, thank you for helping me clear my name. And thank you Eva for always being there for me no matter what." Georgia said with a smile. "Thick or thin, I'll come through for you." Eva responded with a smile. She gently squeezed her friend's hand. Georgia felt like she was in a daze, like everything was nothing but a dream. Just like that, her marriage of three years had come to an end. She had given up everything to be with Sloane and now, she had given him up too. It was obviously for the best. He wasn't the one for her and it took her three years to realize that. How could he so coldly turn his back on her? How could he tell her to her face that she was a mistake? Her mind went back to the moment of their final goodbye, he didn't even look sad that she was leaving! If anything, he didn't care one single bit! But now, she didn't have to worry about what he thought. Their story had come to an end and it was time for her to open a new book. *** One month after his divorce, Sloane sat in his seat at work, thinking about how the last month had been for him. Ever since she uploaded the video of what actually happened, he hadn't seen her or been able to contact her. Even Lance had searched but he was unable to find her. 'How could she create such a mess and just disappear into thin air?!' He thought to himself while angrily clicking the top of his ball point pen. He was still trying to clear up the mess yet she was somewhere, probably laughing at the disaster she had caused him. How could she be so heartless? His phone buzzed with a message and he picked it up from his table. It was from none other than Peyton. For the past three weeks, she had been sending him texts and calling him but he didn't respond to any of them. His mind was still a mess, it all seemed like a dream to him, how could she leave like that? He believed his ex-wife was only bluffing when she requested for a divorce and he didn't believe she would go through with it until she actually did! Now that Georgia was out of his life, his father wanted him to be with Peyton, a woman of class but he wasn't thinking about remarrying just yet. His phone began to ring and he picked the call this time. It was high time he put an end to her disturbance. As he answered the call, he heard a knock on his door and his secretary came in. "Sir, you have a meeting to attend regarding the new partnership deal." He raised a finger to tell her to hold on as he spoke. "Hello?" "Why have you been avoiding me! You didn't even care to know if I was alright!" Peyton angrily spat out. "Why should I care when you did it to yourself?" He asked. "You shouldn't be like this. It was a mistake. I have something important to tell you." Her voice softened as she spoke. "Let it wait. I have a meeting--" "I'm pregnant for you, Sloane!" She announced. Sloane's entire system scattered at once. She was what? For who? Him? How was that even possible? He hung up the phone, feeling unsettled. His secretary reminded him that time wasn't on their side and they had to leave for the meeting. With his mind scattered, he brought himself to his feet and left his office. While they were in the car, his secretary tried to brief him on the meeting but he could barely pay her any attention. Arriving at the reserved restaurant, Sloane was the first to arrive and he tried to calm himself before the meeting started. Raising his glass to his lips, his hand froze midway as his eyes landed on someone he thought he would never see again. Dressed in a white dress that was official yet sexy at the same time, Georgia majestically walked towards him with her head raised high. Stopping in front of him, she gave him a slight smile. "Georgia Matthews, CEO of J international. Pleasure to meet you." She stretched her hand forward to shake him. Sloane felt his jaw drop to the floor. Unbelievable.
