/ Bonus

Sebastian spoke each word carefully as he stopped right in front of Riley and held out the cake. “So let’s not break up, okay?”

“Impossible.” Riley refused immediately. “We’re over. Trust isn’t as easy to rebuild as you think. I don’t want to spend every day wondering which words you’re saying are true and which are lies.

“And every time I see you, I remember how Samuel looked in that video. I keep telling myself I can’t blame you, that you didn’t have to save him, but…”

Her nose stung with tears. “But I just can’t do it!”

“Then blame me, resent me, even hate me if you want! But don’t leave me,” he said.

“What’s the point of being together if there’s nothing left but hate?” Riley replied. “You just can’t handle the breakup right now. Give it time and you’ll get over this relationship. Then everything will be fine.”

“So you’ve already gotten over this relationship?

Sebastian stared at her.

She clenched her hands and forced her voice to stay steady. “Yes, I’m over it.”

His eyes darkened instantly. “So you’re going to meet new guys? You really think whoever Lara introduces you to will be better than me? If she dares to set you up, I’ll destroy every single one of them. Hell, I might even destroy her-”

“Sebastian!” Riley cut him off sharply. “Don’t you dare touch my friend! Lara was just drunk and talking nonsense. Besides, I have no interest in meeting new guys. But—”

She glared at him. “If you hurt Lara, I’ll never forgive you!”

“You already don’t forgive me,” Sebastian laughed harshly. “What’s the difference between one more unforgivable thing and one less?”

“So you would hurt her?” Riley’s voice turned ice cold.

Riley took a deep breath and accepted the plate. She took one bite of cake and handed it back to him. “There, happy

now?”

“Don’t you think you ate too little?” Sebastian said.

He lowered his head and took a mouthful of cake with cream. Then he suddenly grabbed her chin and pressed his lips against hers.

Riley tried to push him away, but he held her incredibly Riley tried to push him away, bu tight.

The cream passed from his mouth to hers. She was forced to swallow it.

She punched him over and over, but he kept holding her tight and kissing her hard.

Riley knew her punches weren’t weak. He was taking the hits without flinching, choosing to get hurt rather than let

The kiss continued.

His lips sucked on hers, moving back and forth. “Riley, you still can’t hurt me, can you? That means you still love

me.”

His whispered words reached her ears.

Riley shoved him away hard. “Enough! What’s the point of this?”

He breathed heavily and stared at her intensely. “Don’t go looking for other men. For every guy you find, I’ll destroy him!”

Riley frowned. Sebastian’s face was full of darkness and madness right now.

It reminded her of the rumors about the Torres family’s “crazy” reputation.

If someone really went head–to–head with Sebastian, who knew what would happen.

She wiped her aching lips with the back of her hand and glared at Sebastian. “Okay, you had your birthday. We ate cake. I’m leaving now!”

Time would make him accept their breakup eventually.

When she turned to leave through the entryway, Sebastian’s voice followed her. “Riley, don’t forget what I just said. I mean every word.”

The door slammed shut in response.

Sebastian gritted his teeth and slowly pulled off his shirt. Dark bruises marked his abs where she had punched him. The crazy part was that even the bruises she left made him miss her more.

His fingers traced over the bruised skin. Then, he kissed the emerald bracelet on his wrist. “Riley, I don’t accept this breakup.”

The next day at work, Lara came over to Riley. “What happened with Sebastian last night? He didn’t try anything, did he?”

Sebastian had looked seriously unhinged when he showed up at the bar.

“We just went to his apartment and ate some cake,” Riley said.

Her mind drifted back to how he had forced that kiss on her last night.

At least Sebastian was right about one thing. She still loved him.

If she really didn’t care anymore, she wouldn’t have stopped hitting him yesterday. She would have kept going until he let her go.

Feelings weren’t something Riley could just turn off. She wasn’t as carefree as she pretended to be.

But she knew one thing for sure. She couldn’t be with Sebastian right now.
