Yvette thought, 'How dare she! How dare she try and push me down from the stairs! Forget about being the Valentine's family's daughter-in-law. Only when pigs fly would I let her stay!'
Even Mark, my quiet and logical son, seems to be bewitched by her, let alone Jazz. Everything he says is all to defend and protect that woman!'
'He's hopeless. I won't waste my effort on talking him out of it. I'll just continue with my own ways and plans.'
At night.
Summer sat in front of her laptop with her files opened and empty with nothing typed, even though she had wanted to prep for her classes.
At that moment, her mind was not focusing on the task before her at all, and even she herself did not know where her thoughts had gone to.
When she snapped back and noticed the time, 40 minutes had passed, and she still had yet to type anything.
Right at that moment, the sound of the doorbell radiated through the room. She was slightly stunned a s she just sat there frozen.
Then, sounds of persistent knocking could be heard from the door. It sounded as if the person on the other side would not have given up if she didn't open up the door.
‘Has he really forgotten his keys, or is he deliberately trying to torture me because I've hurt his most beloved woman?' she thought.
The doorbell kept ringing, and she too remained sitting without budging as though they were going against one another.
It remained that way for two minutes, and she couldn't stand the piercing sound of the bell. Lips curling up into a sarcastic smirk, she got up and went over to answer the door.
She believed that the longer his frustration carried on, the deeper his love was for Raine, which also meant, the more hatred he had for her.
She had prepared herself for the worst the moment she got up. She thought, 'No matter what he had planned, I'll just go along with it.'
