Jacob, also shaking with rage, exclaimed, "Are you serious? Only a Gryffindor heir can marry into the Mraz family. Are you trying to end our engagement? Listen, Sherly, my parents won't accept someone who's given up everything. If you forfeit your inheritance, our engagement is over!"

He berated me, "You vanished for ages without a word! You started at the company two years before your sister. Couldn't you have sent any updates? You've let me down terribly!

I wiped the blood from my mouth and scoffed, "No need to explain, I'll leave on my own. I simply didn't write. I've been abroad lately. What, are you in a rush?"
