When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

There was no way a hotheaded young man in his mid-twenties could know.

There was only one possibility. Either he did a background check on me or someone who knew me well told him about it.

I refused to waste my time dwelling on the matter and cut to the chase. “You have two choices. Tell me the truth, and you can leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, prepare to stay the night in the cell.”

Unfazed, Alexander remained on the spot. By taking his time to reply, I knew he was waiting to see if I would carry out my threat and leave without him. He was baiting and provoking me deliberately with his defiance. I saw through his petty tricks instantly and knew what had to be done.

After meeting his stares for a while, I turned around and headed for the exit.

As expected, he relented. “Fine! I’ll tell you.”

I smiled and halted in my tracks without turning around to look at him.

He blurted, “I’m Emery’s boyfriend.”
