An Unfinished Love Story

"Mr. Cruz, I don't know how Elena has offended you, but for my sake, let it go. I'll share a drink with you and apologize on her behalf."

Damon sneered. "And who the hell are you?"

Ethan stiffened.

Damon scoffed, finally recognizing him. "Oh, now I remember. You're that bastard from the Caldwell family, aren't you? And a bastard wants to drink with me?"

Elena smirked but said nothing.

Ethan's face turned dark.

Being called a bastard was his biggest sore spot.

He had expected Damon to show him some respect, yet he was only met with ridicule.

Worse, their argument had started drawing attention.

A crowd was beginning to form, made up of influential guests.

Ethan felt his dignity crumbling before his eyes.

He burned with shame.
