He stepped out from a shiny black Mercedes, followed by Dorothy He acted as cold and distant as always, like nothing was wrong, just throwing it out there.

"Don't make it sound like you cared I scoffed, glancing towards the black Mercedes outside, "Best wishes for your wedding!" With those words. I turned to leave.

"This is all temporary" His hand caught my arm, his voice low, "I won't marry her. Believe me." "It doesn't matter!" I didn't look back, shaking off his grasp, only to see Dorothy approaching.

She strutted pastin her high heels, rushing to Bryant's side m dn't possibly cooing. "Bryant, you couldn't have feelings fo know I couldn't bear that...

"Three years have passed and the thought of us having a child & Shild neven печел even crossed my mind. Bryant interrupted with a scott, his coldness piercing, "What do you think?" You
