Chapter+vy with sorrow. “Anne, I waited almost the whole day for you. I just wanted to say I’m sorry, one last time. I didn’t know you were already attending Astoria University Anneliese’s patience snapped. She didn’t want to hear his apology. A chill crawled across her back.
She turned her head and glanced behind her. The sight made her body jolt.
A sleek black Bentley had rolled up without her noticing. Zion sat at the wheel, throwing her wild winks and exaggerated faces.
Her stomach sank. Her gaze slid past him to the back seat. A man sat deep in the shadows. His face was hidden, but the heat of his stare scorched her skin. She felt it burn straight into her spine.
Her heart stumbled in her chest.
She glared back at Zacharias, “Shut up! And stop following me. If you don’t, I’ll call the cops p>
She bolted for the Bentley, her heels striking the pavement in a frantic rhythm.

Jonathan had already stepped out the other side. He slammed the door with such force that the sound cracked through the air.
The rush of air whipped strands of her hair across her face. She froze where she stood.
Zion’s smug voice came from the driver’s seat, sharp and poisonous.

Anneliese spun, her fury blazing. “That’s not true! When did I ever? Why would I ever p>
Zion lifted both hands, dragging two fingers across his eyes with mocking flair. “These eyes saw it. No, four eyes saw it. Clear as day p>
He had seen her smile. He had seen her leap forward and embrace Zacharias with joy.
Even Zion couldn’t twist the truth this time.
Anneliese’s throat tightened. Her chest ached. She wanted to scream, to cry. Disaster had crashed over her without warning.
Jonathan had seen it all.
This time, his anger was real.
“It isn’t what you think!” she shouted at Zion, then rushed out again.
Jonathan hadn’t spared Zacharias even a glance. He had already stepped into the elevator.
By the time she reached it, the doors had closed. The lift rose without her.
Her teeth sank into her lip: Her eyes burned hot. A sharp sting rose in her nose. Sadness, panic, and helplessness crashed down inside her.
Jonathan had never treated her this way. Since the day they met, he had been gentle. He had been patient. He had been calm.

Zacharias’ eyes turned cold. “That depends on Anne. If she gives me the chance, then yes. And if I become the other man, so be it. Jonathan was once the other man too. Isn’t that fair, Zion? Isn’t that payback p>
His words were sharp blades. He pointed straight at her mistake and at Jonathan’s past.
Zion let out a harsh laugh. “Mr. Shaw, you’re a master at lying to yourself p>
