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.

Regardless, after I said it, I could tell that Zion's expression toward me shifted.

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

Just the thought of her wanting to get back together with me made me anxious. What troubled me even more was that she claimed she didn't love Zion anymore. It wasn't good news for me that she didn't love him and still couldn't let go of me.

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

"And Selena's the one who can't let me go, not the other way around. You don't need to take out your anger on me." I added, hoping this would lessen Zion's hostility toward me.
