It was bad enough that she kept bringing up Kaleb's name, but now she was even defending him!

Nander shot to his feet, his entire being igniting with a furious intensity, anger boiling within him! Isabel looked at him, puzzled, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.

"What is going on with you?" she asked, bewildered.

Xander took a deep breath, pressing his lips together.

""Huh?" Isabel blinked, shocked.

Why should I feel so mortified to call him that?

Isabel despised the sensation, overwhelmed with a deep sense of injustice.

She hated being controlled by others and handled so harshly, but she couldn't escape.

For the first time, Isabel felt like crying.

She couldn't understand why the man had suddenly become so harsh with her, showing no gentleness whatsoever. It was completely different from before.

But now, the way the man treated her made it feel as if he wasn't interacting with a person, but rather coldly using an emotionless object.
