Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Forced Choice

Brendan was forcing her to make a choice. She could save whatever remained of her dignity, but Sterling would have to lose his on her behalf. She would have to doom him to save herself.

Brendan’s sadism knew no bounds. How could he be so heartless?

Deirdre sobbed. She felt faint spells, yet her heart was ironically much calmer than before. “It’s alright,” she said, her eyes as empty as her tone. “I’ll do it.”

The room cheered. It was what everyone wanted. Amid the revelry, though, was Brendan’s increasingly stormy expression. His eyes were cold.

“Do you understand what you’ve just said? You’re going to strip yourself clean and dance in front of a crowd of strangers. If you call Sterling, the most I’ll make him do is

make him drink.”

The most he would do?

Deirdre smiled between her tears. To hell would she even believe that!

She would never believe him ever again.

How could she? When he told her he would never play favorites and stand behind

Charlene without reason that night, he had said it like he meant it. When he made

Charlene apologize, she believed his proclamation. It even made her wonder… that maybe Brendan was not the one who had orchestrated her torment while she was

incarcerated.

Maybe both of them had been played by Charlene. He was simply in the dark.

Now, though, she was wiser. That delusion of hope was shattered.

He said he would not play favorites, yet all it took to reverse his stance and see Deirdre as the sinner was Charlene overdosing on sleeping pills and the words of a random janitor. That was apparently enough “evidence” for him to bring her here so she could suffer and be humiliated by so many people.

almost feel pity for you, Brendan. You’re so blind and dense. I think you deserve what’s coming for you.’
