Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 496

Panic seized him, and fear knotted in his stomach. Spencer had known Brielle for over a decade, and the thought of her belonging wholly to someone else sent a sharp pain through his heart.

Brielle’s disdain for him was as clear as day, just as her fondness for Max was unmistakably apparent.

It dawned on him that his affection had been one–sided all along. He had thought Brielle was coming to see him last night, and for a fleeting moment, he had envisioned a thousand ways to make her happy in the future. He had thought, perhaps naively, that he held some place in her heart after all these years, considering how kind she used to be to him. But now, looking back, all he felt was regret and an unwillingness to let go.

Spencer was desperate, a man grasping at straws. He slowly stood up, but his legs, numb from kneeling too long, gave way, and he was forced to kneel again.

A smirk flashed across William’s eyes as he kindly offered a helping hand. “Max reigns supreme in the Dorsey family; you can’t touch him. But with your status, taking Brielle down should be easy.

A touch of madness crept onto Spencer’s face. “Uncle, I’ve got it.”

William raised an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
