They both got quiet after he uttered those words. She stared at him and he stared at her.
Suddenly, before he could react, she harshly pushed him away.
He shuffled away and she brushed off her dress.
"Hasn't your family ruined my life enough already? My reputation is in tatters, my relationship with my good friend is destroyed, and your brother is plain annoying."
She heaved a deep breath and pointed at him with a shaking finger.
"Honestly, you and your family make me sick. Did you think I would let you walk all over me the moment I saw you? I had even forgotten you existed!"
Lies.
That night had been on her mind, haunting her, since the moment she returned.
But she wasn't going to let him know that.
"Why do you hate my family so much?" His expressionless face was cold and it subconsciously made her shiver.
