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.

Not that it would change anything. They’d find a way to blame me anyway.
