The Consequence Of Jealousy

*****

To my avid readers, thanks for all your support and encouragement. Your insightful comments, your votes and your gifts keep me writing.

I would like to crave your indulgence before you read this chapter and a few others going forward.

The male lead is a temperamental young man going through a series of emotions based on loss, betrayal and heartbreak. His irrational behaviour, though questionable, is his weakness.

But like crude gold going through different stages of purification, the male lead will overcome his weakness and learn his lesson eventually.

Please, do not completely write him off. Give him a chance at redemption. He will make you smile in the end.

Thanks.
