Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 603

Ruby felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples. "That was when we were kids. I don't know anything about a childhood engagement. If that's the only reason you're staying here, then I really don't think it's necessary."

"Are you trying to back out of it?"

Landon's eyes widened. He could hear the sound of his already broken heart shattering into dust.

Ruby's mouth twitched. "I didn't know about it, and I never agreed to it. And even if it were true, we're adults now. The past shouldn't count."

"It has to count!"

Sensing the finality in Ruby's tone, Landon's eyes instantly turned red. He reached for her, but Sylas slapped his hand away. "Didn't you hear her? She said it doesn't count."

He glared at Landon, his eyes flashing with a menacing light.

That had been a close call.

Sensing the tension about to erupt, Ruby stepped between them and kicked Sylas out the door. "You can get back to your hotel, too."

Sylas stood there, stunned.

He stared at the door that had just slammed shut in his face, completely bewildered.

As soon as Sylas was gone, Landon's eyes lit up, ready to continue the argument.

"Thud—"

In the next second, he too was kicked out the door.
