Chapter 168: I Will Never Marry You

Angela POV

"For a woman, you punch me?" William steadied himself against the wall, nostrils flaring. "I'll fight you too, Sean! This is insane!"

Sean gently shifted me behind him, placing himself between William and me in a gesture that was unmistakably protective.

"Try it," Sean challenged, his tone still unnervingly calm.

William lunged forward, fist drawn back. Sean caught his punch mid-air with disturbing ease, fingers closing around William's knuckles like a vise.

"Don't lose your mind in my home," Sean warned softly.

"Who's losing their mind?" William spat back. "You're the one who's lost it! How can you face Christina after this? What kind of man are you?"

William's other hand shot up unexpectedly, connecting with Sean's jaw. I gasped involuntarily, my heart racing as I watched the two men square off.

"Sean, please stop!" Christina's voice cut through the tension as she stepped forward, eyes

glistening with tears. She grabbed William's wrist desperately. "William, don't hit him!

Please!"

Her knuckles whitened as she clung to William's arm. "Both of you, just talk it out. Don't

fight because of me."

I observed the scene with quiet detachment, noting the hidden currents beneath her

words. This fight isn't really about you, Christina.

What struck me most was the way Christina looked at Sean-her eyes brimming with expectation and dependency, her entire body angled toward him even as she restrained

William.

Evan stepped forward, his practical nature asserting itself. "Gentlemen, this is beneath both of you. We've all been friends for years. Let's talk like adults."
