Love That Wasn't Meant to Last

Chapter 33

I knew that Zion was quite discontent with the fact that I had a girlfriend, and I felt equally frustrated.

He was the one who had disrupted my relationship with Selena in the first place, yet now that I had chosen to divorce her, he seemed to have a problem with me finding someone new. I couldn't fathom where he got the audacity to look down on
