"I swear, it lever let you down, I'II...."

"What

My voke was as steady asi

e who betrays true love has to swallow a whole bottle of hot sauce. So, Elgah, don't let me down...

"Don't let me down."

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head, and I instinctively clutched my forehead

Seeing me like this, Elijah couldn't help but sneer, "Ariana, cut the poor-me act. You know I don't have that kind of money right now.."

Fighting through the pain. I looked at him and spoke slowly, each word deliberate, Someone who betrays true love has to swallow a bottle of hot sauce" Elijah trees. "What?"

I laughed humorlessly, "You swore-if you ever let me down, you'd swallow a bottle of hot sauce!

He fell silent, unable to respond.

I turned to Mr. Webb, 'I'm not feeling well. You can handle the rest."

Without another word, I quickly walked out of the room, lenoring the startled look around me

Everything felt blurred, my head spinning so badly that I could barely see the path in front of me, I wasn't sure where I'd ended up-all 1 knew was that it was finally quier "Ms. York are you done with the meeting?".

Through my fog vision, I saw Jocelyn approaching, bundled up with a mask covering everything but her eyes

Took a deep breath. "Ms. Cornell, I have nothing to discuss with you."

I moved to find a lounge area, but she stepped in front of me. "Ms. York, I really hope you'll accept Elijah's terms."

She stumbled back, watching my pale face with sathdaction. Then, she suddenly laughed "Ms. York, you still love Elijah, don't you? That's why this is so hard for you." Awave of iritation surged through me. My head throbbed with a pain that felt foreign as if something was clawing to the surface of my mind.

Asharp fear gripped me. I realized I was terrified-terrified that my memories would come rushing back and change everything.

No, I couldn't remember, I didn't want to return to being that Ariana-someone with no self-respecto dignity

I pushed her again, this time, my voice laced with impatience.

"Move! I'm not feeling well"

Behind me, focelyn continued

1, Ms. York. You're still hung up on Elijah, which is why you can't handle this. But it's too late to take it all back now

taunting, her voice mocking. "Admit it,

"Elijah isn't coming back. You know, there's nothing like a child to sway a man's heart."

I printed my teeth, barely resizing the urge to shut her up right then and there.

Seeing my silence, she went on, het toe laced with contempt. "Ms. York, do you even know how this baby came to be?"

1 prowled, "I don't want to know!

Her eyes sparkled with satisfaction. Even with her face hidden behind the mask, her eyes betrayed the thrill of victory. She just couldn't resist rubbing it in my face.
