No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 99



The scene unfolding before me was unexpected, snapping me back to reality in an instant.

A woman stuck between two men... Frankly, it was awkward.

At that moment, I knew I had to make a choice to break this stalemate, and one thing was crystal clear: Dustin and I were a no-go.

If I had to choose, it would only be Ernest. Conrad and I were practically at the altar already; there was no way I was going to bail on him, only to get tangled up with his brother.

"Dustin, I'm beat," I finally said.

That seemed to do the trick. Dustin tightened his grip on my hand for a moment before letting go.

Ernest took my hand and led me away. I didn't look back, but I could feel Dustin's gaze on me the whole time.
