No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Ernest's gaze was deep and intense as he looked into my eyes, before turning to Conrad and simply saying, "Take her away." Those three words snapped me back to reality.

What was I doing?

Allowing myself to get swept away again just because of a few words from someone else?

I let go of Ernest's hand, and he walked away with long strides after giving me one last look. Conrad gently pulled me, "Let's go."

Although I was confused, the recent tight ambush on Henrik made me realize this was all a well-planned scheme by Conrad and Ernest. I was just in the dark about it.

"When did you guys plan all this?" I asked Conrad.

He paused before answering, "After I left Houston last time."

That was also when Ernest and I split up.

So, was Henrik telling the truth?

I couldn't dwell on that and pressed Conrad further, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He seemed a bit uncomfortable, struggling to find the words.
