CHAPTER 29: Betrayal and lies

  John's eyes widened as he grasped the gravity of his actions and he hastily softened his tone, pleading Emily in a hushed voice.

  Emily made her way inside with anger boiling over her and John ran after her trying to make amends for his actions. John's voice was laced with desperation as he begged Emily to stop, his words barely above a whisper.

  "Emily, please... think about the implications of your actions." John begged but Emily didn't even flinch, her anger propelling her forward as she stormed towards the door.

  John quickly followed, his long strides catching up to her just as she reached the entrance. He grasped her arm, trying to stop her but Emily shook him off with her eyes blazing with fury.

  "Let me go, John!" she spat, her voice venomous.

  John's grip tightened but Emily's determination was unyielding. She pushed him away with her hands slamming against his chest and she stormed inside.
