After he asked that, Chase’s eyes grew even redder, burning with desperation %
But Rosalie’s voice stayed cold, “That has nothing to do with you We’re already divorced I wish you’d stop coming after me*%
“I never agreed to it! Who gave you the right to say we’re divorced?” Chase snapped, agitation thick in his tone “From start to finish, didn’t even know I’d signed those papers, what gave you the power to decide for me? And the child you’re carrying, whether you use it to save my brother’s baby or not, it’s still my flesh and blood! What right do you have to disappear with it without a word? Did you ever once think about my feelings? We were married for three years, did I mean absolutely nothing to you?“%
His voice nearly roared as if he alone carried the burden of betrayal. As if Rosalie had been the one to harm him &
But Rosalie only laughed bitterly “Chase, what right do you have to say these things to me? So I used you to get pregnant–what then? Didn’t you use me, too, from the very start? I was nothing but a shield for your dirty little secret crush. In those three years of marnage, did I ever live one single day of happiness?“%
“Because of all the scheming and backstabbing in the Hollis family, I came close to dying more than once. And where were you then? Oh, right, you were the very one who almost killed me time and again. So what kind of affection ever existed between us?“%
“There was never anything but cold, mutual exploitation. Now you’re fooling yourself into thinking you can trap me with some so–called love and marriage? Isn’t that just laughable? Or do you really believe the whole world should spin around you? That whatever you want, others should just hand it over?”
Each word struck Chase like a sharpened arrow.%
Suddenly, he recalled every wound he’d inflicted on Rosalie and froze in place.
He opened his mouth as if to explain, to plead, but no sound came./
Because yes, he had only just realized how deeply he loved her, but the pain he caused would never vanish.%
He clenched his fists, ashamed and helpless, unable to meet her gaze.
Just then, as Rosalie turned away, she cast one last cold glance back and said, “Don’t ever come looking for me again. I never want to see you for the rest of my life.“W
He snapped, like a madman, and lunged in front of her “No, Rosalie, you can’t leave!” he shouted.%
Rosalie froze, too frightened to move. She could handle being hurt herself, but if something happened to the baby, it would mean the end of both the litle one and James.
Chase’s bloodshot eyes burned with desperation, wild like a cornered beast.
“Rosalie,” he begged, “no matter what happened before, I’ll change, I swear it! Just come back to me!”
Rosalie stood frozen, too afraid to make a sudden move. But then, Chase grabbed her hand and yanked her forward.%
“Come with me! We’ve shared so much… if you just give me another chance and get to know me again, you’ll fall in love with me; I know you will! Rosalie, I just want you!”
Terrified, Rosalie stumbled along as he dragged her, her voice trembling with resistance./
“Let go of me! Let go! There was never anything between us, past, present, or future; I will never love you…”
The more she pushed him away, the more frenzied Chase became./
Just as his grip tightened and he looked ready to explode, a powerful hand tore him away.
It was Weston.
Taller, stronger, and filled with rage, Weston slammed a brutal punch across Chase’s face, sending him crashing to the ground. “Who gave you the right to lay a hand on the woman I’m protecting?“}
