Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

The villa had been her only property, and now that it was gone, her only option seemed to be to check into a hotel.

Suddenly, Spencer felt utterly useless for letting her be put through such an ordeal. “Lillian, I’ll find you a new place soon. Just bear with a hotel for tonight.”

“Spencer, I’m just so tired.”

Her words pierced straight through Spencer’s heart. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, a wave of guilt washing over him. If Lillian were his rightful fiancée, she wouldn’t have to suffer like this.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s not your fault. It’s just that I love you too much. I’m willing to lurk in the shadows, but tonight, I really do want to be with a friend.”

Spencer nodded, unable to muster any more words, his resentment towards Brielle growing stronger.
