Gregory stopped. “What was that?”
The bodyguard behind me pinned me down, while Annabelle stood in front of me and smiled. “It’s nothing. I hit the chair. See you, Mr. Leafenstein. Tell me if you need anything. My family will always be there for you.”
Ah, yes, of course. She was hinting at the marriage. Gregory, however, was colder than she expected. He left without saying a word to her. Annabelle was stunned.
Though he was a man of few words, he was at least cordial to her.
This time, however, he was icy. She had no idea that Gregory was only cordial because of me. Now that she was no longer the woman I wanted, she meant nothing to him.
She was pent up, so she let out her anger at me. “You just had to make that sound! You’re nothing! Nothing! Even if you got his attention, he would not have saved you! And now he took Wendy away! If this hurts my marriage with them, I’ll kill you!”
