“The cushy job you should still be working hard to attain.”Įlaina had been ready for this, all of it. You loved the trips, the jewelry, the fine dresses, the rubbing elbows with the world’s elite.” A hard glint entered his eyes. You, from a simple middle-class family, who could only dream of the riches someone like me has to offer you. He didn’t hear her, his voice easily washing over hers. “I could have had any girl I wanted,” he said, his voice low. She lifted her chin slightly, prepared for his temper. The playful twinkle vanished from his eyes as they became hard, unrelenting emeralds. Yes, I most definitely am breaking up with you.” No, I will not hang on to your arm at the stupid gala like a simpering girl who can’t believe her good fortune.
