---- that I'm in a good mood because I'm getting married tomorrow, Mr. Swain, or else you won't be walking away with just two punches." Not wasting any more of his breath on Carl, Julian signaled for the security guards to take Carl away. The security guards deftly dragged him out. Angela, who'd watched in silence, asked Julian, "Are you hurt?" Julian was pleased that she was concerned for him. Holding her hand gently, he said, "I'm fine. If he ever bothers you again, ignore him. Just tell me about it." "Got it." Angela lowered her eyes to hide how touched she felt, but she just so happened to see a tattoo around his left ring finger. It was a thin line of black that circled around the finger. After staring closely at it, she mumbled, "AT? Are those... my initials?" Looking sheepish, Julian wanted to pull his hand away, but he couldn't bear to let go of Angela. Thus, with their hands still clasped together, he brought up what he'd felt in the past. "T considered my feelings for you a private matter. I ---- never intended to disrupt your life. I didn't want you to feel pressured because of my power or position, either. You chose Carl, so I silently wished you well and hoped that you'd be happy. But since you gave me achance, I'm not going to let go this time." Even as he spoke, he continued to stare at her as if he could never get enough of the sight of her. Meanwhile, Carl went back home looking like a mess. As soon as he entered the house, his parents, Robert Swain and Nancy Dunn, cried out in alarm. "What happened to you? Did someone beat you up?" "It's all because of Angela!" Carl spat out as he gritted his teeth in pain. After hearing his explanation, neither Robert nor Nancy thought Carl was in the wrong for showing up without an invitation. On the contrary, they both began rebuking Angela. "Why did you go looking for her? She's a jinx! Let her ruin someone else's life instead!" "T told you from the start that she's not good enough ---- for you! Just you wait. I bet she'll come crying for you to take her back. When that happens, you'd better make her kneel on the floor and beg for forgiveness. She needs to slap herself in the face and admit that she's a stinking bitch, too..." Carl, who was holding an ice pack to his face, thought Robert and Nancy were going too far. "Mom, Dad, don't say that." Robert stopped, but Nancy refused to let up. "I know you're a kind man, Carl, but you can't go easy on her this time! Only a woman from a decent background is worthy of becoming your wife. She should at least be the daughter of a company chairman!" Carl had thought the same all along, but as he listened to Nancy's ranting now, he felt nothing but frustration. Leaving her be while she continued to disparage Angela, he took his phone out and texted Angela. "Tf you put an end to everything right now and beg me to get back together with you, I'm willing to forget about everything you've done." Carl assumed that the moment Angela saw these ---- words, she would drop everything and come begging for his forgiveness. In reality, however, he couldn't even send the message out. Angela had blocked his number. The message never got through to her phone. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
