Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Only Ethan and I were left.

This was the first time I'd seen Ethan since that tense encounter the other day. After that day, I thought it would be a long time before we crossed paths again. But fate seemed to have other plans, as we met again sooner than I expected in such an uncomfortable situation. I watched Ethan approach me with a stern expression, trying to step back discreetly. But before I could move, he grabbed my wrist and forcefully pulled me against the checkout counter.

Then, standing in front of me, he leaned in slightly, one hand pressed on the counter beside my arm as he looked down at me.

"I've been matched with Leah," he said coldly. "So, who did you match yourself with? Liam? Or maybe another wealthy family in Yardville?"

To Ethan, I seemed to be nothing more than a commodity with a price tag. Although he'd already made it clear that he viewed me as someone with ulterior motives, I couldn't help but feel a wave of anger at being so blatantly insulted.

I stared at him and smiled, deliberately trying to provoke him. "Who do you think I'd choose?"

"Evelyn!" Ethan practically spat out my name through gritted teeth.

I slowly reached my hand toward his face, and just as I was about to touch him, I shoved him away. "It doesn't matter who I choose. I'll never choose you."

My smile faded as I turned cold and strode out of the store. As soon as I stepped outside, Lyla came over and grabbed my hand.

"Eve, are you okay?"

I shook my head, but my mood for shopping had completely disappeared. "Let's go home."

"Okay." Lyla quickly called her driver, and we left shortly afterward.
