Why was | angry right now? | haven't the slightest idea, but | was angry, and the more | stared at Zane and his

date, the angrier | became. | didn’t realize he was with a date till a few minutes ago after returning into the

house after getting a call from Marco tellingthe celebratory dinner was about to start. Zane’s girlfriend had

blonde hair, and she was ridiculously beautiful, fitting right in his arms as she told him something while he

leaned down to listen, then he was rolling his eyes and laughing along with her.

Who the fuck was she?

The fact that | was furious right now was makingmad at myself, cause it was supposed to be none of my

business if he was here with a date or not, but for the life of me, | couldn’t stop my thoughts from wandering into

places it had no business being in, like if he and this woman were dating, or just ducking. Neither of those

thoughts madefeel less angrier, and | hated myself even more when | began to compare myself to his date.

| was seriously gonna develop hatred for blondes at this point.

“You alright, Addi?” Marco asked as he leaned intoright after we took our seats around the table. | forced a

smile on as | nodded.

“Yeah.”

A giggle filtered towards us from acrossand | watched Zane pull the seat out for his date, then he sat beside

her and helped her tug her hair behind her ear. Something squeezed tightly in my chest, and | refused to dwell

on that right now for my own sanity.

“Look at him, that’s definitely his latest fuck toy.” Marco bit out beside me, then he leaned closer. “See how he

already quickly moved on from you? This showed that you were never really memorable to him and that he also

never cared. You should have listened toand ended it with him sooner.”

| winced a little as hurt jabbed within my chest.

Ouch. That hurt.

Thankfully, Mrs Carter arrived and began to raise a toast to her husband who was absent from tonight's dinner

which is to celebrate their wedding anniversary. The fact that he isn’t present right now didn’t shock anyone, and

Mrs Carter didn’t even seem sad as she threw her wine back after making a toast, As everyone arounddid

the same, | was about to drink mine as well when | made the mistake of glancing across the table, cause Zane

was already staring at me, an intense look in his eyes which made a shiver course through my body.

| ended up choking on my drink, then Marco had to pat my back a little harder than required till my coughing fits

stopped.

| caught sight of Zane still staring atwhen | sneaked a glance up, and as | quickly averted my gaze, | just

know that it was gonna be a really long dinner.

“You're embarrassing me, Addison.” Marco bit out quietly besideas as he took my plate and cut my meat

into small pieces, and my face flamed with anger. What did | even do wrong? It was hard to use these weird

knives which | didn’t even know how to differentiate and up to six different knives was laid out by my plate

before the dinner started.

Was it ever that serious?

All Marco had done since the dinner was complain and complain. | was slouching. | wasn’t using the right fork. |

was doing this wrongly and wasn’t doing that the right way. It was makingdownright angry, especially

because he wasn’t quiet or subtle enough, so everyone must have noticed at this point.

If I had known this was how this dinner was my gonna turn out, I really wouldn't have shown up.

“That cup is for the second wine we’d get served and not for the water, seriously, Addi, why do you suck at this

to this extent?” Marco began this twhen | felt the irritation withinbuild up, and | had to keep forcing my

anger down in order not to embarrass myself further.

“Or maybe just let her enjoy her meal?” Zane spoke from acrossand | stiffened, my eyes darting upwards to

briefly lock with his.

Marco scowled at him. “How about you mind your business?”

Zane scoffed and laughed a little. “You're making it hard for everyone to do that cause you keep nitpicking like a

little baby. Not everyone is big on these kinda dinners, just let her eat, my gosh.”

Marco's face reddened with anger and | sat up straighter and cleared my throat.

“It's fine, Zane. Marco's right, | really suck at this.”

Before either of them could say anything, Mrs Carter was speaking. “See? This is what happens when a woman is

passed between brothers like a shameless slut.” She bit out sharply while glaring atand | flinched.

Silence stretched across the table till Zane slapped his hand on the table and pointed a hand at Marco. “Fucking

grow a spine and defend your woman, will you?

Marco scowled back at him. “Mother isn’t fully wrong, Addison shouldn't have dated you, then this wouldn't be

happening right now.”

My mouth fell open as | stared at Marco, feeling extremely appalled. Before I could think twice, | grabbed my

purse and stormed out of the house.

Marco was on my heels and he grabbed my hand but | pulled it out of his grip as | whirled around to shove him

hard, still unable to get over what he just said in there, and how the entire dinner went.

“If this is how it’s gonna be between us, then | don’t think | wanna keep doing this,”

He blanched. “What?” He demanded and | scoffed and walked away but he tuggedback again

“I meant what | said, Marco.” | got those words out through clenched teeth. Yes, | do love him, but that doesn’t

mean I'd let him just embarrassthe way he did tonight. “If it's gonna be like between us. then let's end this

relationship,”
