Page 131 of The Damaged Billionaire's Obsession

She sighs. “Look, I don’t know the details, but I heard there were complications from the first surgery, and it took almost a whole day trying to correct it. His doctors forbade him from flying because of the pressure in the cabin, but Holy Hotness from Ireland, who also thought Ethan was shacking up with Elsa, went and told Ethan you’re pregnant. So, so hot. I love a guy who can fuck shit up,” she says with hearts in her eyes.

“Stella, save your breath, he’s gay.”And dresses better than you.

“Who cares? He’s my type.”

“What, gay?”

“No, darling, Irish. I could literally hear the accent dripping from that text Sabrina showed us. Imagine if I had to listen to that on a daily basis. Do you think you could hook a girl up?”

“With Twiggy?” I’m confused. Did she not hear the part where he’s gay?

“No, silly, an Irish guy. Although, Twiggy would still be a hot bestie to have. By the way, Bonnie, where isyouraccent? I’m pretty sure I’d have hit on you if I heard it.”

Ethan hears it all the time.“Oh, God.” I want to start crying again, but I catch myself.

“What did I say?” she asks.

“Stella, what happened with Ethan when he saw Twiggy’s text?”

“Oh, yeah, he got on his jet headed here to extract you from the hole you were trying to park yourself in. Of course, they had to do an emergency landing because his eyes were exploding or something.”

“Wait, what!” I yell.

“Well, not literally exploding, of course, just that he was in too much pain to keep flying.”

Jesus, why did they have to send Stella of all people? But then again, she’d have tackled anyone else down just to be the first to break the news to me.

“Where is he now? Is he okay?”

“I told you, he’s on his way here. Only, his flight leaves in a few days. He can’t take any of the company’s jets, and no one will loan him theirs because it's a suicide mission.”

“Why is that?” I feel ready to kill this woman for dragging out my misery.

“Why? Because he messed up the first procedure by getting on a plane against medical advice, and Jordan had to fly the team into New York to re-do it before he went completely blind.And now, he’s not supposed to go anywhere for the next two months.”

“But you said his flight is in a few days,” I accuse, not understanding why she keeps contradicting herself.

“Yeah, well, I don’t know the exact take-off time; it’s not like anyone tells me these things. They’ve just sent me out here to warn you. His flight could be tomorrow for all I know.”

“No, but it’s not safe!”

“You think he doesn’t know that? So, unless you get your ass out of here and back to New York, your newly blinded boyfriend could be here by this time tomorrow to drag you out. Your choice.”

“But I have a job here!” I protest, but even to my own ears, it’s weak.

“You had a job in New York. And friends. And a boyfriend. And his family and they love you to pieces. You had no qualms ditching us. So, this should be a piece of cake for you.”

“What are you saying?”

“I mean, move your ass right fucking now, Bonnie, and go see your man. Don’t worry about me or your mom. I’ll stay here with her until you return or someone comes to get us. I can’t even think about another six-hour flight without collapsing, anyway.”

Stella starts to push me towards the door.

“Hold on,” I protest, trying to push back against her hold.

“No, babe, you leave now. I’ve assured the girls that I’ll get you into New York or die trying,” she says.

“I–I need my things,” I say in a poor attempt to stall.
