Henley's hatred for the man who had destroyed his prized race car was already astronomical.
But Aurora's betrayal cut even deeper. It was utterly unacceptable.
"Aurora, we've known each other for years. You know exactly what kind of man I am!
If I hadn't stepped up to help you today, my car wouldn't be in pieces!
Leo and Yuri wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed right now!
And after all that, you'd rather take the word of a guy you just met over mine?"
Henley had no romantic feelings for Aurora, but he was fiercely loyal. He lived by a strict code of brotherhood.
To him, loyalty was thicker than blood.
Aurora's choice wasn't just an insult; it was a knife in the back.
Aurora's face paled slightly. "Henley, please, let me explain this to you later..."
Before she could finish, Joshua interrupted with mock surprise.
"Ms. Williams, what could you possibly need to say that you can't say in front of me? Why does it have to be a private conversation later?"
He looked at her, his predatory gaze gleaming with dark amusement. "Don't tell me you're the type to say one thing to my face and another behind my back?"
Henley crossed his arms. "He's right. If you have something to say, say it right here, to both of us."
If this were any other day, Henley might have played along to save her face.
But today, his car was dead, and his brothers were bleeding.
All because they tried to secure a win for her.
She had crossed his absolute bottom line, and he was done swallowing his pride.
With Joshua effortlessly blocking her escape routes, Aurora felt a suffocating wave of panic.
When she failed to speak, the warmth completely vanished from Henley's eyes.
At this moment, his disgust for Aurora eclipsed his hatred for Joshua.
He stared at her, his voice devoid of emotion. "Since you chose him, we're done. We are no longer friends."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
