Now he just needs Neo to cooperate.Neo is fine with Billy being the one, even though they'll never be together. For him, it's a nice memory to look back on as long as he doesn't get to the part where Billy chose his rich friends over him. That's okay. Neo got his revenge. They're even and are cordial these days. So what if he can't stop eyeing Billy's very nice physique and gorgeous eyes? That's life. He'll live. All he has to do is keep resisting Billy's nonstop advances because Neo knows the one truth that will never change. Money will always choose money in the end.Exhale is the second book in Charity Parkerson's Fresh Hell series, where it's something different every day in the battlefield known as life.
