The Return of My First Love novel Chapter 68

Alessio

"How are you doing?" Emily asked, grabbing his right hand.

Emily's naive personality, her goodness, made her blind to Gian's tactics. The look in his eyes was pure evil, one even I couldn't compete with.

This time, as a chuckle of disbelief escaped from Gian's lips, I had to force myself to interfere.

"Emily, let's go," I reached for her arm, but Gian was quicker and pulled her closer, wrapping his hand around her wrist.

"How am I? This is all your fault, you dumb, brainless bitch," he spat, his voice filled with nothing but pure hatred.

"W-What?" Emily stammered.

The room around me seEmilyed to freeze, and, same as in the warehouse, my legs couldn't move anymore.

"Your little boyfriend did this because your fake little boyfriend threatened him. Your psycho baby daddy is with the Baldinis now," he revealed as if it was nothing.

Even though it was already too late, I reacted by smacking his hand away from her. "He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's confused, let's go," I grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away. Emily released herself with an aggressive jerk, her eyes shooting daggers at me as if I had betrayed her—and I did.

"No, I want to hear what he has to say," her voice trEmilybled. "Is it true?"

Her eyes searched mine for an explanation, anything that could deny Gian's accusations.

I stuttered, "I—"

"Yeah, that's right," Gian joined in from the bed. "Your man put a tracker in your ring. I bet he didn't trust your lying, schEmilying ass from the get-go."

Ashamed of the situation, I looked at those present in the room, but they all avoided my gaze. I didn't think it was appropriate to discuss this, not now. Certainly not with my cousins present.

"A tracker?" Emily scoffed, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "Is it true?"

I couldn't find the words to respond because there were only two things I could say—both of thEmily pathetic. Yes or I'm sorry.

Determined to avoid either of those words, I shook my head.

"None of that matters right now. We'll talk about it later, okay?" I whispered carefully.

Emily scrunched her face as she rEmilyoved the ring from her fingers and threw it at me. I dodged, watching the ring fall to the floor. The room was so dead silent, no one could miss the sound of its impact.

Gian snickered loudly, his reaction only adding to my anger.

"None of that matters right now?" Emily threw back my words.
