Chapter 243:
Julie's POV
Alright, it seemed insane that I had fallen for Robert, but it happened. I looked at Steve, who was staring at me as if I were an alien. "No one chooses who they love, Steve," I said.
"This isn't a choice; it's suicide!" he spat back bitterly, waving his hand dismissively.
I lifted my chin in defiance. "I love that man. Suicide or not... I love him."
He narrowed his eyes. "Are you going to stay in that club?"
I nodded. "Yes."
"You're insane," he said, rubbing his face in disbelief.
"Yes, I am," I replied with a sad smile. "Steve, you won't tell a single soul on this earth about this. Do you understand?"
He exhaled sharply. "Fine, I won't."
I stepped closer, gripping his shirt, my tone commanding. "And my father... you won't go near him. I swear, if you do, I will never speak to you again. You'll lose me forever."
"I get it, Julie," he grumbled, looking away.
"And Carlos... stay away from him too," I added.
