“Let go of me!” Natalie cried out, the pain becoming unbearable as she fought to free herself from his grip. But
Brian lifted her off her feet with a single swoop and pinned her harshly against the elevator’s handrail.
The handrail perfectly leveled with Brian's waist. Natalie was half-seated on it, trapped between him and the
cold metal.
“Can’t you be reasonable for once, Brian?” Natalie's heart pounded, her voice a mix of fear and defiance.
If she had answered the phone, Brian wouldn't have cornered her like this!
He discovered too late that Davis had taken it upon himself to announce their supposed love to the whole town
with a grand gesture of hot air balloons. And the first thing he did after finding out was call her, desperate to
explain, terrified she’d get the wrong idea, while she was casually strolling around Gayin’s company, seemingly
indifferent.
Natalie grappled against his hold, the heat emanating from his body was overwhelming. Brian's arm tightened

Fear truly set in for Natalie. She had seen Brian's anger before, and it was nothing she wanted to experience
again.
“Brian, please don’t do this!” she pleaded, fright shimmering in her eyes.
“I'll do as | please without your guidance!” he hissed back at Natalie, teeth clenched in fury.
“Don’t...” Her words were barely a whisper, her shand anger turning into tears that flowed as she begged
him for mercy.
What had she done to deserve this punishment? It seemed nothing she did was right. Whether she obeyed or

Brian didn’t realize Natalie was crying until he tasted the saltiness of her tears,
He paused, looking at her, her once neatly arranged hair then a tousled mess, her neck marked red from his
earlier anger, softly crying and pleading for forgiveness. “It’s my fault...”
Natalie showed him her fear for the first time, trembling so much that it shook her entire frame.
Taking a deep breath, Brian suddenly felt like a complete jerk.
It was the Howard family’s mess, yet he had taken it all out on her.
After a moment, his arms relaxed, and he pulled her into his arms, offering a silent apology.

His heart tightened as he felt the dampness from her tears soaking into his chest.

pressed the button to open the elevator door and stepped out without a word.
Rosie was waiting in the garage, where Natalie had a change of clothes in the car.
Brian watched her retreating before finally moving to follow her.
Natalie felt a coat draped over her shoulders but didn’t resist, continuing toward the spot Rosie had told her she
had parked.
Before she could get far, Brian suddenly scooped her up from behind and carried her to his car, which was
parked nearby, depositing Natalie in the backseat.
“Listen to me,” he said as he let her go, each word sharp and clear. “I am not going to marry Gracia, no matter
what.”
Natalie had neither the energy to fight nor the desire to argue any further, feeling utterly drained in body and
spirit.
