Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

"Having him is enough?"

She had some nerve to even think of wanting him.

Looking at her pitiful expression, my voice turned colder as I said, "Jewel, you're mistaken. It's not Chris you want. What you're after is his status and the wealth that comes with him." Jewel nibbled at her lip.

"I won't deny that, but-"

She paused and then delivered a devastating speech.

"But after these days, he's been as good to me as lan ever was. I've genuinely fallen for him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him."

She was telling me that she was fixated on Chris and that he had genuinely cared for her. She was still seeing me as a rival, yet here she was, begging me.

And when she pleaded, she didn't forget to drive a dagger into my heart. It was as if she thought that I was an easy prey.

I smirked. "Chris cared for you, but he still left."

Jewel's expression stiffened upon hearing my words.

"Are you sure he wants to spend his life with you?" I asked in a mocking tone.

"As long as he comes back, I'll find a way," Jewel replied, her voice faltering.

I nodded slightly. "Then, find a way to bring him back. I won't help you."
