Helanie:
My heart skipped a beat watching Emmet hug Azura back. That was a shocker. But I had a bad feeling it stemmed from the fact that his brothers had objections to our relationship. I felt like he had given up—on us, for us.
There's no way I'd believe he was playing me while also being ready to take things further with Azura.
"I heard you guys did an amazing job with the case," Norman said proudly.
"Yeah, it was mostly Emmet," I interrupted. "I was kind of going through a hard time in there until they all apologized. It was a nice feeling to know they've finally understood their mistakes," I uttered while still in Norman's arms.
Emmet and Azura headed inside the mansion, while we stayed outside.
"You saw that?" Maximus said, pointing at the door, but Emmet was already gone. "He was playing with you."
I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw. "Maximus, can we not talk about it?" I didn't like how they were demonizing him.
