Edward’s face darkened, his expression contorting into a death glare. “If anything happens to her, Taylor, you’ll pay for this!”

He took her in his arms and left.

I stood there, stunned.

He had sworn to love me forever back then—the same man who had bared his fangs at me because of Maddison.

The irony was agonizing.

When did it happen? When had he started falling for her? Why hadn’t I noticed?

Pain gripped me. It wasn’t until Cherry came into my room and asked if I was okay that I finally snapped out of it.

I should not be feeling hurt over a bastard who didn’t care about me!

Seeing it was from Cameron, I ended the call without picking it up.

A while later, it rang again. This time, it was from my father.

Unfortunately, the first thing I heard was my father’s verbal abuse at a volume that could have made my ears bleed.

“Taylor Jones, you heartless witch! You hit her knowing she’s frail and sick! You even shoved her to the ground!” he snarled.

I set my phone aside and let him rant.
