Georgia wrapped her arms around Alaric, pressing her cheek against his back. It felt like he could feel her breath through the fabric, a gentle whisper against his skin.

A wave of repulsion surged deep within Alaric, and he shrugged her off, spinning around with a scowl. "Georgia, I've made myself crystal clear. I will never marry you in this lifetime! You're just wasting your time on me!"

His gaze was firm, laced with disdain.

From the get-go, he had never harbored any affection for Georgia. It was all his mother's doing, thinking she was clever, insisting on a union with the Reed family.

His protests fell on deaf ears.

He cursed himself; why did he let things go too far that drunken night three years ago?

Georgia's lips trembled, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Alaric, I've had a crush on you since middle school. It's been 13 years. Why can't you consider my feelings for once?"

"I'm telling you to move on for your own good! Don't tell me you don't understand!" Alaric's tone was icy.
