Ryan couldn't believe his ears. "What did you just say?"
If it hadn't been for Elizabeth promising to marry him, he never would've risked doing something so dangerous.
He had sacrificed everything for her, yet she was playing him for a fool. That was something he couldn't accept.
"I've made myself very clear. Just go. Samuel has already seen you, and if anyone comes looking for you, I can't help," Elizabeth said coldly, her face filled with disdain as she gestured for him to leave.
Her words hit Ryan like a slap. He stared at her as if seeing her for the very first time.
He'd always thought she was gentle and bright, the kind of girl who could make his world warmer just by smiling.
But right now, as he looked at her, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
Years of devotion and blind hope crumbled in an instant. Ryan felt like the ground beneath him was gone.
His gaze darkened, his emotions raging wildly. After loving her for so long, how could it all end like this?
