“Abel,” Adrien explained urgently, “you’ve got it all wrong. I don’t mean anything else, I just think it’s a huge mistake for you to stop loving Emmeline. I want you to face her again.”

“That’s my business!” Abel retorted angrily. “When love is gone, it’s gone. There’s nothing to face again!”

Emmeline felt her heart sink as if she had been punched in the gut. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Abel took her hand and said, “Emmett, let’s go!”

Before Emmeline could react, Abel had half-carried, half-dragged her out of the private room.

Adrien watched helplessly as the two of them walked away, pounding his fist in frustration.

Luca gave Adrien a sympathetic and grateful glance before hurrying after Abel.

“Mr. Adrien,” Lizbeth wiped away her tears, “did I do a bad job acting? I was really into it, even moved.”

“No, it’s not you,” Adrien said. “It’s Abel. He’s too damn heartless! When he saw you, he had the nerve to say that when love is gone, it’s gone. That guy is a devil from hell!”
