Chapter 106

Ryan clutched his head, wailing in pain, feeling like his brain was on fire. He muttered under his breath, "I really don't want you..." referring to his brother, who seemed more adept at giving him a hard time than anything else.

Roland withdrew his hand and buckled his own seatbelt. "And about Giselle-stay away from her. If I catch you hanging around her again, you might find yourself in the hospital with a broken leg. You think she cares about you at all, you fool?"
