Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Andrew felt his whole body seize up. Just a moment ago, he was on cloud nine, but now, it felt like he'd crashed right into the depths of despair. The words that followed were even more crushing than Aubree's blunt rejection. She wanted to wipe it all away, pretend none of it ever happened.

What was he supposed to do now? How could he even react?

Almost without thinking, he wanted to confront her, but Matthew suddenly found the strength to hold him back, locking him in a tight grip.

"Andrew, you heard her. She wants you to let go," Matthew said firmly, leaving Andrew speechless.

As the realization hit, Andrew couldn't help but collapse to the ground, his hands covering his face as his shoulders shook with silent sobs.

A crowd had gathered, witnessing the drama unfold. It was clear now: Andrew had lost.

No one dared to approach, knowing too well Andrew's temper and cold demeanor. Soon, the onlookers began to disperse.
