NovelEnglish"No!" Tears spilled down Steven's cheeks, his voice catching in his throat. In the past, every the felt Annalise slipping away, it hurt. But it was never like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time, there was a marriage certificate tying her to Zane, a legal bond that made it clear Steven had no chance at all.
Steven bit his lip hard. "No, Otis. You promised me, so you have to follow through, no matter what! You can't just back out now!" Upon hearing the desperation in Steven's voice, Otis simply ended the call. He wished he could help, but there was nothing he could do.
When Yelena got home, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. How could someone as "old" as Annalise end up with such an amazing man? And worse, she kept him on such a tight leash without letting him interact with other women.
Yelena switched to a new number and called me. "Just admit it-you're jealous that I'm younger and prettier, aren't you?" Jealous? Of her? What a joke. I didn't hesitate to call out the flaw in her logic.
