"Even if you're jealous, you shouldn't have tried to take what doesn't belong to you!" William exclaimed. After he had discovered Brianna's true colors, even looking at her disgusted him.
She tugged on his sleeve, tears rolling down her face as she said, "William, I was wrong. Please forgive me just this once, alright?
"I didn't tell you about Jenson because I was afraid that you'd look down on me if you found out, that you wouldn't want me anymore… I only did this because I love you too much."
Brianna was crying bitterly. She was on the verge of getting on her knees to beg him. She would kneel in a heartbeat if there were any chance of making William stay.
William looked at her quietly for a while and said, "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."
"Redeem myself…"
"Things between Tiffany and me became like this because of you. If you can help me get her back, I'll compensate you, and the score between us will be settled," William said emotionlessly. It was as if he were discussing business with her.
Brianna was startled. "What did you say? You want to get Tiffany back?"
"That's right." William was very direct. "I can't get over her. We would never have broken up if it weren't for you!"
Brianna shook her head. She finally understood. "Is that why you weren't in a rush to expose me even after you found out about Jenson? Is that why you stayed on purpose last night? You did all this to get Tiffany back? You were just using me to get close to her?"
"Yes!"
"No!" Brianna shook her head. "I don't believe it…"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I'm giving you a chance!"
"I don't want it!" she shrieked. "I don't want to break up with you! I don't want you to get back together with Tiffany! William, I know you're angry, but I don't agree with breaking up! I don't!"
William looked at her one last time. "It's your choice."
