Chapter 6 " Hiss ! " I sucked in a sharp breath . Before I could retort , he grabbed my shoulders . ] " Aurora , can you stop being so malicious for once ! You've been bullying Stella since we were kids , always fighting her for everything ! " " Fighting over toys , clothes , Felix , and now - you ! You're even fighting her for the person she loves ! " ] " You've already won ! Everything is yours ! I already agreed to marry you , damn it ! Why do you still have to be so aggressive ? Why can't you back down even an inch ! " Stella was lying on the only patch of carpet untouched by the broken glass , crying her eyes out . [ ] Gideon gripped my shoulders and shook me , veins bulging on his forehead , his voice a raw mixture of hatred and despair . [ ] But I lowered my head , my eyes fixed on the broken glass jar . It had been snapped in half , revealing the pink , star - shaped cards inside . [ ] My breath hitched . Ignoring Gideon's increasingly furious roars , I blurted out , " It wasn't me ! " A sharp pain shot up from the cut on my ankle , and the emotional rollercoaster of the day had left me with a pounding headache . [ ] I could feel the sting of tears in my eyes , and I saw them reflected in Gideon's amber irises . [ ] But I couldn't think about any of that . With trembling hands , I clutched his sleeves . [ ] Just like I had ten years ago , I wanted to do anything to make him believe me . [ ] " Gideon , it wasn't me ! I didn't bully her ! She grabbed me and wouldn't let go , and I didn't even push her that hard , I swear ! " ] ] A glimmer of moisture seemed to flash in Gideon's eyes , but my own vision was so blurry I couldn't be sure if it was tears . But I could feel his ragged breathing starting to even out , and he even raised a hand as if to wipe my tears away . [ ] But then , from the side , Stella started sobbing again . [ ] " Gideon , don't hit Aurora . She's right . She didn't push hard . It was me . I'm just so useless , I lost my balance and fell ! " ] " But , Gideon , I think I twisted my ankle . Can you please take me to the hospital ? " [] Gideon hesitated , his gaze shifting back and forth between me and Stella . In the end , he hardened his heart and pushed my hands away . " I'll take Stella to the hospital first . We can talk about this when we get back . " [ ] As he bent down to scoop Stella into his arms , he sighed and said in a heavy tone . [ ] " Felix and my parents are dealing with the guests . They're telling everyone we just had a fight and you spoke out of anger . Our wedding , it's been postponed . " ] " I've already agreed , we'll have the wedding . So just stop making a scene ! Wait here for me . " " 0 He kicked the broken glass aside with his shoe , stepping thoughtlessly on the pink card as he brushed past me . And Stella , nestled in his arms , silently clenched her fists at the word " wedding " . The look she gave me was pure , unadulterated hatred . [ ] As if I'd lost all feeling , I dazedly knelt and picked up the card , now marred with the print of his shoe . ] ] [ Don't be scared , Aurora . Mr. Durand and Felix might like Stella more , but I like you . I like you the most . I only like you ! ] ] Gideon had given that to me in class , two years after stella came to live with us . [ ] Our classmates had all laughed and teased , guessing it was some kind of love note . ] But I only needed one glance at it before the tears came . 0 Even now , after everything had changed , that childish promise still moved me more than any love letter ever could . [ ] A fifteen year old Felix , sensing my fear and insecurity , had soothed the ache of losing my mother with all his youthful earnestness . [ ] He had comforted the depression that had been creeping in as I lost the affection of my father and brother . ] My Sister Cur My Food Money to $ 300 While Spending $ 30K on Bags ?!
