"Why would you embarrass me for that useless blood bag?" Aria said angrily.
"For your information, she's not a blood bag" Cole replied coldly.
"Well…what is she to you?" she yelled.
There was silence in the room as Cole had no idea what to say.
Meanwhile, Ashley was eavesdropping on their conversation just outside the door.
"Tell me is she more important than your fiancée," she said.
Ashley placed her palm over her mouth in shock. So Aria and Cole were engaged. She felt a sudden burst of sadness in her. Why would this happen when she was just starting to have feelings for him?
"You mean my ex-fiancée" Cole said. "Don't forget that you and I can never be a thing talk less of couples"
Another round of shock came over Ashley, at least she felt a bit happy about this one but she wondered why they might have broken up.
"That's why I returned," Aria said. "I wanted to sort things out between us"
"Don't even try, I never loved you and I never will" Cole burst out in anger.
