I didn’t want Mom and Dad to worry, so I kept a neutral expression and returned to my room to take the call.
“Blaire, who told you to wear that wedding dress? Who is that strange man you’re with? Are you cheating on me? Didn’t I tell you to come home? I’ve been waiting for so long! Don’t test my patience!”
I took a deep breath to control my emotions.
“Carl, don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re not the alpha. You can’t order everyone around. We’re over! and who I’m with has nothing to do with you. That place was never my home! It was yours!”

Lying in the room my parents had carefully prepared for me, I tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep.
At four in the morning, I received a message from Aunt Selma.
“Why did Carl come looking for me? What did you tell him? He didn’t seem right today and kept asking me where you went. He knelt outside my door and refused to leave.”
I rubbed my tired eyes and replied, “I already told him what needed to be said. Maybe he’s just losing it. Now that the person who was chasing him suddenly disappeared, his pride probably couldn’t handle it. You didn’t tell him where I was, right?”
“Of course not. I’m not stupid. I’m already on my way to the airport. I’m looking forward to your wedding! But do you have to wake up this early? Why are you awake now?”
I didn’t reply and turned off my phone.
