Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 130

“Don’t. Just drop me off at the next intersection. I don’t want to stay at a hotel tonight; I’m thinking of crashing with a friend.”

Her voice, heavy with emotion, barely rose above a whisper as she dabbed at the tears streaking down her face. The villa had been her only property, and now that it was gone, her only option seemed to be to check into a hotel. And Spencer, being a part of the Dorsey clan, couldn’t possibly bring Lillian back to the Dorsey estate.

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.
