It is Enough!
Hailey’s POV
“My Choice,” he said and I was taken aback.
Has he changed again?
Are we not in the same area-- the one in which both of our opinions mattered equally?
Why is he acting like old times?
Like the dictator-- like the Mafia Boss-- once again?
I lowered my head and nodded.
“Anyways, be ready tonight. Family dinner”
“Huh? Your family! Yeah!”
“But” his stern expression made me shut up. “You wouldn’t behave friendly with them. Don’t try to mingle”
“What- but why?”
“MY. CHOICE”
“Hm,” I said, half sad.
He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
“What happened?”
“Nothing” I went to my room but he followed me.
“Tell me”
“Okay” I exhaled a breath; I didn’t know I was holding it. “I don’t want to distance myself from your family”
He looked at me with a question mark and I continued.
“Why do you wanna distance yourself?”
He flared in anger at my question, and I also knew it was a mistake.
