Chapter 41 Attempted murder?

I expected George to storm out of the room in a fit of anger. But I am surprised to find him still standing by the side of the bed, his gaze fixed on me with an unsettling blankness. A tense silence hangs in the air as our eyes lock in a battle of wills.

After what feels like an eternity, George finally breaks the silence. "I will drop you off at home. Your boyfriend, Michael, is too occupied with work to take care of you."

His proposition stirs a storm of emotions within me, but I refuse to let my anger be silenced.

"There is no need." I vehemently turn him down. "I do not want Michael to misinterpret my intentions. Michael is very different from you, and he genuinely cares for me. I don’t want to cause him any undue distress."

I say this purposefully. Since he likes to stab my heart over and over again, why would I step back?

"Now that I have committed to moving on with him, I will be by his side always and embrace the love that I believe is genuine."
