Chapter 51: I HATE YOU
"I hate you. I hate your stupid face, your smug smile, your insufferable arrogance. I hate the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you think you’re entitled to everything. I hate your ego. I hate every damn about you!"
Alanis didn’t flinch, though her words hit him like a physical blow. For a moment, silence returned to the car, but it was anything but calm. The air felt heavy and suffocating.
He took a breath, steadying himself. Despite her fiery tirade, all he could think was that he had caused this. That he had created the hatred she now carried. And yet, part of him couldn’t let go. Not yet.
He still had hope that she loved him. He wanted to cling onto that hope.
They arrived at the hotel Harlow had given to the driver. It was good, but not the best hotel on the globe.
"Why this? Why not a place that is more secured and safe?" Alanis asked.
"Could you suggest a better hotel? Plus it’s only for the night." She carried her bag and stepped out of the car. The moment she was about to walk into the hotel, her cell phone beeped. She checked the message sent and all colours drained from her face.
How was it possible for Claudia to collect such amount? What did she use it for?
She has never seen herself use such amount before if it ain’t for acquiring properties. The message read 200 million. Even if she had such amount, why would she waste it on something she never did?
