Chapter 6

"Sorry, Miss Myerson, we truly apologize for our careless verification earlier. You've been wronged!"

He led me to Vivienne's seat.

Which, rightfully, should have been mine all along.

As soon as I sat down, Dane eagerly leaned in, extending his hand, hoping to make amends.

I turned my face away, not wanting to look at this hand-obsessed creep for another second.

With a "thud," to my surprise, this arrogant wealthy heir fell to his knees beside me, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Darling, I'm so sorry. I was blind and deaf to have believed that bitch's words!

Trust me, this time you're the only one in my heart. I'll take good care of you and never let you suffer again!"

I smirked, scoffing at these empty promises I'd heard three years ago.

"Dane, when did you become such a manipulative jerk, trying to play the victim for my sympathy? It's disgusting!"

Hearing the familiar sarcasm, the regret in his eyes deepened.
