Chapter 53

Jenny POV:

"I didn't break the deal at all, that's where you're mistaken," I said, my voice firm and resolute.

Lydian's eyes flashed with anger, her voice rising like a storm. "You broke the deal, okay? And you must be punished!"

I stood my ground, my heart pounding in my chest. "No, you're not his girlfriend, so breaking the deal doesn't concern me. I didn't want to go close to him, but after finding out you lied, I had no option."

Lydian's face twisted in a snarl, her voice venomous. "He's not my man, I know, but I have been with him for the past five years, and I won't let you take him away from me because he's mine!"

I kept quiet, my mind racing with thoughts. Five years was a long time, maybe I should let her have him. But did he feel the same way?

"Alex, do you like her?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"No," he said, his tone cold and detached.
