Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 41

"Zion, don't challenge my limits." I wasn't sure why I said that all of a sudden. Maybe it was the courage I gained from the roller coaster, or perhaps it was the pent-up frustration from these past few days finally spilling over.

Regardless, after I said it, I could tell that Zion's expression toward me shifted.

I didn't reveal to him that the real reason Selena was upset was because I had rejected her proposal to remarry.

Just the thought of her wanting to get back together with me made me anxious. What troubled me even more was that she claimed she didn't love Zion anymore. It wasn't good news for me that she didn't love him and still couldn't let go of me.

I said angrily, "If you're capable, then fight for her yourself. Take Selena back from me."

"And Selena's the one who can't let me go, not the other way around. You don't need to take out your anger on me." I added, hoping this would lessen Zion's hostility toward me.

Zion scoffed. "Hudson, you really are quite full of yourself."

I could hear the mockery and disdain in his voice, but I didn't care. I didn't expect any love from Selena. That way, when the time came to divorce her for good, I wouldn't be as heartbroken.

I returned to my room to find Selena already asleep and turned away from me, so I couldn't see her expression.

Looking at her back, I felt a surge of emotions and had a lot I wanted to say to her. But as soon as I tried to open my mouth, I couldn't find the right words.

What should I say? Should I tell her I have a girlfriend? Should I say I don't want to remarry because I don't trust that she would only love me? Or should I admit that I felt like I didn't love her as much as I once did?
