Too Pretty to Be Your Backup novel Chapter 58

The second Leila picked up, her voice turned soft and pitiful. “Travis, my chest hurts so much… Can you come see me?”

Silence.

It lasted just long enough for her hope to flicker before Travis finally answered, his tone flat and

distant.

“Leila, if you’re not feeling well, call David. I’m not a doctor.”

His coldness sent a shock straight through her.

Tears slipped from her eyes almost before she realized she was crying.

“Travis, are you just going to leave me? Do you hate me now?”

He let out a tired sigh.

“Leila, I don’t hate you. I’m not abandoning you. But I have my own job, my own life. I can’t drop everything for you all the time.”

That was it. Leila couldn’t hold it together anymore. She choked on her own sobs.

“Did Amanda say something to you? Is she stopping you from seeing me? Just tell me – are you choosing her over me?”

“Yes!”

He didn’t hesitate, not even for a second.

That single word cut deeper than anything else could. It left her gasping, her heart in shreds.

“Travis…”

“I already had Fiona call David. He’s on his way to you.”

“I don’t want David. I want you-”

But all she heard next was the cold beep of a disconnected call.

He hung up.

For the first time ever, Travis actually hung up on her.

She stared at her phone in disbelief, then screamed and threw it across the room.

After that, she crawled under her blankets and just broke down.

She was falling apart.

She was terrified.

It really felt like Travis was leaving her, like he actually didn’t care anymore.

What was she supposed to do now?

Chapter 58

If she couldn’t have Travis‘ love, then what was the point of anything?

By the time David arrived, she was a mess of tears, hidden under her blankets.

He gently peeled them back.

“Leila.”

She looked up at him, her face streaked with tears, her eyes swollen and red.

The way she cried, she looked so much like her brother it made David’s heart ache.

He pulled her into a hug.

“Leila, you deserve better. Can’t you just let Travis go?”

“No!”

She jerked up in his arms, eyes wild and desperate.

“I only want Travis. I only want him!”

Then she suddenly remembered Amanda’s social media post about dinner out tonight Super 11.

She grabbed David’s hand, clutching it tight. “David, I’m hungry. Will you go have dinner with me?”

David would do anything to distract her right now, so he just nodded.

“Sure.”
