Chapter 100: She hates you!
Cornered, Gianna’s gaze darted frantically around the room, her expression wild. She still wouldn’t accept it. "I didn’t know she was in there!" she cried. "This is a misunderstanding!"
"Don’t lie," Ava barked. "You were captured in the surveillance camera coming to the restroom after me. But you didn’t enter. Instead, you locked the room and fled. You wanted me gone." She squared her shoulders as she looked toward the policemen. "Officer, take her away."
As the policemen approached her, Gianna cried out frantically, grabbing Dylan’s hand. "Dylan, please save me."
Dylan pulled his hand away.
"I made mistakes, yes, but only because I love you," Gianna continued, tears streaming down her cheeks.
But Dylan’s gaze was as hard as stone, unmoved by her tearful confession. "Take her away." He signaled the policemen with a nod.
"Dylan, you can’t do this to me," Gianna’s cry grew louder. "You promised my brother you’d always protect me. Don’t you remember? He gave his life to save yours! He trusted you with my life, Dylan. How could you turn your back on that promise?"
Dylan hesitated for a moment as his dying friend’s face crossed his mind. But it was gone as quickly as it came, replaced by a steely resolve.
He had done enough to keep his promise to his friend – took care of Gianna, looked over her mistakes, helped her numerous times, and even hurt Ava. He wouldn’t become soft this time.
