Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Five days until I left the country .
That morning , I finally told Pax it was over .
That night , he kicked down my door .
The crash echoed through the tiny apartment , the flimsy frame rattling , hinges groaning under the impact .
A crack splintered along the cheap wood , a jagged reminder of just how easily things broke just how easily we had broken .
Pax stood in the doorway , breath uneven , fury barely restrained beneath a thin layer of composure .
His eyes dark , burning scanned the room before landing on me .
Youre being ridiculous , he bit out , voice taut with frustration .
Nina and I grew up together .
Our families were close shes spoiled , sure , but she doesnt mean half the shit she says .
I didnt respond .
She was out of line , I get it , he continued , stepping further in , closing the distance between us .
But you shouldnt take it so personally .
I let out a slow breath , my expression unreadable .
His jaw clenched , a flicker of impatience flashing in his gaze .
Shes like a little sister to me , Cecilia .
Thats it .
Nothing more .
A quiet settled between us , heavy , suffocating .
Then , his voice dropped lower , colder .
Cecilia , enough with this tantrum .
Theres a limit to how far you can take this .
We had fought before .
Late night arguments , doors slammed in frustration , stubborn silences that stretched for hours .
But never once had we reached this point .
Never once had the word breakup been spoken aloud .

This was the first time and I meant it .
I tore my gaze away from him , looking instead at the door he had just kicked open .
The edge where his foot had struck was splintered , damaged beyond repair .
I lifted my chin , my voice steady .
Im serious , Pax .
Then , almost as an afterthought , I added , And while youre at it , you should probably cover the cost of the door .
He let out a short , incredulous laugh .
You really have no patience for this , do you ? His fingers raked through his hair , exasperation dripping from every word .
Youre jealous of Nina ? Thats what this is about ? His gaze sharpened , searching my face .
If you cant even handle her , how do you expect to be my wife ? Ah .
Of course .
Pax , the golden boy .
The most beloved son of the Brown family .
Naturally , there would always be women in his circle .
Beautiful , well bred , well dressed , lingering in the background , waiting for their turn .
But that had nothing to do with me .
Five days from now , I would be gone .
So why did he think I would ever be his wife ?
