Lost Me Gained Regret

"What do you think you're doing?"

Merritt rushed forward, stepping between Christine and Dailey, shielding her protectively.

Gregory grabbed Dailey by the arm, pulling him back.

Dailey, who was about to yank Christine away, hesitated.

Merritt, usually so gentle and composed, glared at Dailey with blazing eyes and shouted, "This is my home. Get out!"

Dailey casually wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, his gaze on Christine intense and unwavering.

"Christine, come with me."

Christine felt an overwhelming urge to punch him.

"Merritt, call the police."

Merritt promptly obliged.

As Dailey moved forward again, Gregory held him back once more.

Jane stood protectively in front of Christine. "Mr. Clarkson, you've broken up. If you keep forcing her, I'll have to inform your family to intervene."

"I never agreed to the breakup."

Dailey's eyes narrowed. "Christine, if you want to relax here for a while, that's fine."

"But if you think you'll be with him," he gestured with a long, elegant finger, "that's not happening."

Christine spat in defiance, wiping her mouth furiously. "You didn't agree to the breakup? You personally said so at my house!"

"That was conditional..."
