"Rea, I've noticed you've become... a bit more ruthless." How exactly was I being ruthless? I didn't bother asking. Instead, I said, "What you did was wrong." "Yeah, I know. Yesterday was on me. And getting too close to Tanya, ignoring your feelings-that was ontoo. Letting her stay in the penthouse I got for you, that was just messed up. Even giving her my sup card was wrong," Jace continued, reflecting on his screw-ups. I had no idea where he was going with this, but he didn't stop. "I'm apologizing because I messed up all around." "There's no need. Right or wrong doesn't matter anymore," I said, starting to walk away, but he blocked my path. "Rea, I'm not finished." I glanced at the cap on his head. "Then keep talking." "I've apologized, and I know I was wrong. And like I said, there's nothing between Tanya and me. As for that kiss you mentioned-it was just a joke, an accident. If you think it's unfair, you can kiss sother guy to even the score," he suggested, his words makingclench my fists.

Was this really Jace? Or was he trying to joke his way into my good graces? "Rea," Jace reached out to grab my hand, "let's start over. Or maybe... letwin you over all over again?" "I must've hit you harder than I thought-you don't even know what you're saying," I pulled my hand free from his grip.
"I know exactly what I'm saying," Jace replied, his eyes locked on mine. "I still want to marry you, to make you my wife." I scoffed. "Jace, whether you're playing games withor you really did get your brain scrambled, letbe clear-I don't do second chances." "I know you're angry right now. It's fine, be as angry as you want. I'll wait for you," Jace's shameless persistence was starting to get on my nerves.

I pressed my lips together before saying, "Your mom didn't tell you, did she? She wants to makeher goddaughter, That m my Do you still think we can get married?" Jace's expression immediately darkened, and he odbrothat would make you frowned. "That's not happening. My parents only want you as their daughter-in-law." I wasn't in the mood to argue or listen to more of his nonsense, so I turned and walked away.
Just as I was getting into my car, I heard him call out, "Rea) I've also1 rejected your Yesignation."
'Damn it!' I slammed my hand against the steering wheel, fuming inside. 'I'm literally on my way to a job interview, ay to and now he's refusing to approve my resignation? How am I supposed to explain that?" Jace was pulling out all the stops, clinging on and refusing to let go. But no way was I letting him win this.
