Jason's POV:
I've never felt this frustrated in my life. These past few days have been driving me insane. Yeah, I know it was a stupid move turning Ella into a bet, and I should've called it off the moment I figured out her secret. After all, the bet was to expose whoever uncovered her awful truth first—and that was me. I won. So why the hell did I let Dylan and Max keep going?
Damn, I messed up. Big time.
Shit, shit, shit.
Why the hell does she keep invading my thoughts like this? What happened to the hatred I used to feel for her? I wanted to destroy her, to dominate her, to make her realize that she couldn't defy me and walk away without consequences. But now… now, all of that has changed, and it's driving me crazy.
