Brett looked at the shattered glass next to the trash can, his brow furrowing deeply.
He was rough with Izabella, his raging anger leaving no room for tenderness, and besides, Izabella didn't deserve it.
On the balcony, Izabella looked at the dazzling light reflected by the broken glass in the moonlight and laughed.
Brett's eyes darkened, the laugh instantly hitting his sensitive nerve. He let go, and Izabella wobbled and fell to her knees.
"Brett, are you going to do to me what you did before?"
Brett's face stiffened, then he said, "If you apologize to Kaley, I'll let you go."
"Apologize?" Izabella ignored the pain in her knee, and she looked up to see Brett's black eyes, her own filled with tears.
"I'm indeed wrong," Izabella's throat tightened, she swallowed down, trembling voice said, "I shouldn't have liked you, shouldn't have married you, shouldn't have given blood to Kaley, shouldn't have gambled four years on an unknown outcome!"
Her eyes misted up with tears, making them even more bright black, reflecting Brett's figure, hatred, and sadness.
Brett resisted the urge to lift his hand to cover her eyes. How come such bright eyes suddenly lost their light?
His heart was torn, but thinking of Kaley in the hospital, his temporary sympathy vanished.
