Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Aidan called out, "Aunt Mandy."

An oppressive silence hung in the living room. Mandy gritted her teeth as she laid her eyes on Aidan. He wore an amused expression.

He did not courteously address her as "Aunt Mandy" to protect her ego; it was all to uphold his image and reputation as the eldest grandson of the Lovelace family.

"Grandpa hasn't been eating or drinking for two days after learning about what Julien had done. He is bedridden because of anger. You can imagine how furious he is now."

Aidan's eyes were emotionless as he continued, "The last time Grandpa had an outburst of a similar extent was when you decided to be with Mr. Winston despite knowing he was a married man. You volunteered to be his mistress, tainting you and our family's reputations."

Alyssa felt a stabbing pain in her chest. Trembling, she felt anger flooding her veins.
