Chapter 4

Author: Cozy Season

In the room next door, Selena had finished three bottles of liquor and was singing a song at the top of her voice.

Ariana noticed something strange with the news online as she scrolled through them. She tugged at Selena’s sleeve. “When have I ever said that Brian Lodge has sexual dysfunction?”

“Ha! I wrote that! Since it’s a news article, it needs to be shocking to catch the readers’ attention.”

Ariana’s expression hardened. “Have you thought about the consequences, though?”

Selena’s cheeks were flushed. She held the microphone and shouted, “Consequences? What consequences would there be? It’s not like Brian Lodge is going to hold a knife to my neck and force me to take down all the news on the Internet?”

Bang!

Suddenly, someone kicked the door open. The song that was playing in the room came to an abrupt stop.

Ariana’s heart missed a beat when she saw a stony-faced Brian standing at the door. She knew he would come looking for her, but Ariana never expected him to show up so quickly.

“Did you release the news article?” Brian’s voice was cold and monotonous.

Selena hid behind Ariana in fear. Ariana tried to maintain her composure. “I did.”

“It was you?” Brian scoffed. He strode forward and grabbed hold of Selena’s arm. Then, he pushed her toward Isaac.

“Get out!”

Selena’s legs had gone limp the moment she spotted Brian. She tried to rush back to Ariana’s side to help her, but Isaac quickly dragged her out of the room. “We’re going! We’re leaving right away!”

As he closed the door behind him, Ariana and Brian were the only ones left in the room.

Brian stepped closer toward Ariana and said frigidly, “You broke off the engagement last night and came to a club to have fun the next day. I underestimated you, Ariana.”

When Ariana looked at Brian, what came into her mind were the ugly faces of the abductors who forced themselves onto her in her previous life. It made her stomach turn. Ariana subconsciously took a step back.

“Mr. Lodge, you’ve left me behind during the engagement party to see Evelyn. Also, the Torrey family couldn’t possibly become in-laws with the Lodge family with your social status being much higher than ours. Let’s just call off the engagement and end things amicably.”
