Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 172.

I hate that he can see it, I hate that anyone can see it br the tears come anyway and before I can stop them my vision blurs and my chest tightens painfully as the sob rips out of me before I can swallow it back.

I press my hands over my face and suddenly I’m crying uncontrollably. The kind of crying that shakes your shoulders and makes your chest hurt.

Because hearing a familiar voice that isn’t Zane’s....Someone who isn’t involved in all this mess..... finally breaks whatever was barely holding me together. And now tht it is broken I can’t stop crying.

I frwaking hate crying in front of them.

In front of Zane and Claire but right now I can’t seem to pull myself together. My hands are still covering my face when Zane’s voice echoes through the room again.

"Aaron."

The tone alone is enough to make the room quiet. I lower my hands slightly, my vision still blurry from tears.

Aaron looks up from where he’s standing a few feet away.

"Yes."

Zane doesn’t look at Claire when he speaks...his eyes are still on me.

"Take Miss Claire out of the house."

Claire lets out a laugh from behind the table.

"Oh no..... hell no."

I glance toward her. Her face is still red from crying and from the scratches on her skin, but the defiance in her eyes is back.

"I’m not going anywhere."

Aaron turns his head slowly toward her and Claire straightens where she stands.

"I’m not leaving until Zane and I finish this conversation, that’s what I came here for nd I’m not leaving until that is done."

Zane doesn’t respond, he doesn’t even look at her.

Claire steps forward slightly.

"You can’t just throw me out like that."

Her voice rises.

"We’re not done talking."

Zane’s jaw tightens.

"Yes we are."

Claire’s eyes flash.

"No we’re not."

She gestures toward me with an angry flick of her hand.

"You....:::you can’t just choose her over me, you can’t! What what does she have that I don’t!"

My stomach twists again but Zane cuts her off before she can continue.

"Aaron."

That’s all he says but Aaron already knows what it means..... he moves toward her without another word.

Claire’s expression changes immediately.

"Oh don’t even think about it."

Aaron doesn’t stop walking.

"Claire," he says calmly, "let’s go."

"Don’t fucking touch me."

He stops in front of her anyway and Claire takes a step back.

"I mean it."

Aaron doesn’t argue, he just reaches out with one hand.

That’s all it takes him, his fingers close around her arm firmly.

Claire gasps in shock.

"Hey!"

Before she can pull away, Aaron lifts her slightly off balance and turns toward the door, so effortlessly like she weighs nothing.

Claire starts thrashing instantly.

"Let go of me!"

Her free hand pushes at his shoulder, as she tries to twist out of his grip.

"Aaron, don’t you fucking dare!"

He doesn’t even look bothered, he just keeps walking.

"Put me the fuck down!"
