Love That Wasn't Meant to Last

Chapter 41

"Zion, don't challenge my limits." I wasn't sure why I said that all of a sudden. Maybe it was the courage I gained from the roller coaster, or perhaps it was the pent-up frustration from these past few days finally spilling over.

I didn't reveal to him that the real reason Selena was upset was because I had rejected her proposal to remarry.

I said angrily, "If you're capable, then fight for her yourself. Take Selena back from me."
