Astrid asked, her voice shaky and broken. Tear flowed down her eyes as she embraced her Mom."I don't know, he is currently having an emergency surgery.

"What the heck is wrong with you?" Astrid barked at Rowan pushing him away from Scott. After witnessing the brutal punch Rowan landed on Scott's face, she quickly unclipped the seatbelt holding her back with a speed that she didn't believe she had.Scott bent over to the ground, holding his bleeding nose as he groaned in pain."Why would you hit him like that? Are you out of your mind?!" Astrid yelled furiously, hitting Rowan's chest as she ranted."I should be the one asking you questions! Why would a married woman be with another man and kiss right before her husband's eyes?!" He roared, grabbing Astrid's arm roughly."You are crazy! I guess you are too mental to remember that we are divorced, you animal!" Astrid screamed back."Divorced? just because I let you mess around as you wished doesn't mean that you can dive into another man's arms. You think we are divorced?" he scoffed as she glared at him. "You must be really stupid to think that I would sign those pathetic papers and s

"Date me." Scott's words echoed in her mind, stunning her at most. she didn't think that he would see her in such like. In a romantic way, yet again, she has failed to notice the things around her."I... can't...""Think about it before you answer. I am not in a rush, as long as you get what you want, I won't mind being used," he said, his eyes clear with honesty."Scott, I don't think I want to do that to you. If I use you just to get back at my ex, it will only hurt you in the end because I can't stay by your side," She muttered, hurting him with her words.He knew this would be her answer but he was taking the chance. Even though it would cause him pain in the future."Just think of it as me helping you. I don't mind, I will bear the consequences later," he said, his voice desperate for acknowledgement.The way his heart raced in his chest, hoping that Astrid would accept his offer. Even if it was for a short while, at least he gets to be by her side. "If that is what you want the

Sometimes, things are not always meant to be. Even if it means hurting someone just to prevent it from happening. And that was what Astrid had done. She moved away from Scott, regretting her decision to engage him when deep down, she was still hurting and yet to heal."I am sorry, Scott. But I don't think we can walk out. What happened between us will be saved in my heart. Just act like nothing ever happened between us," she coldly said, getting up to leave but he grabbed her hand and stopped her from taking another step."How am I supposed to act like nothing happened between us, Astrid? I just gave you the permission to use me as you want.""Even if it's to get back to my ex?" "Yes.""No, that's what I cannot do. I am not selfish and inconsiderate, Scott. I know what it feels like not to be loved back by the person you cherish the most. How can I make someone else suffer the same thing I passed through, knowing how deep it hurts?. I won't do that to you, never. Let's just be frien

It was as if her heart was contracting against her chest each time Rowan bit her, claiming every part of her body with his vicious marks.The worst part of all was he never listened not even to her pleas."I am going to hurt you," he muttered with a low voice.Astrid looked away from him, giving up on begging him because he would never listen."Look at me," he commended. But she refused, keeping her head turned and eyes closed."Look at me for damn sake!" He roared, digging his nails into her skin."So what? I can watch you hurt me? I will never forgive you, Rowan. Get on with what you want to do. I don't care anymore," she muttered, giving up on her fight. She hardened her heart and glared at him with a spiteful gaze in her eyes.Rowan closed his eyes, regretting his behavior towards. He just couldn't accept the idea of her being with someone else.

He growled, terrifying the poor lawyer to death."but I have already sent the document to the magistrate court...""Do you not like your job anymore?

Astrid felt dejected and depressed from everything he was doing to her.She even went ahead to go on a hunger strike.

"Please, sit down.""Please? That does not sound like you." "Will you like it if I had asked harshly?""That will depend on how you say it."Rowan narrowed his eyes straight at her as they darkened. "Sit down, Astrid." He commanded with a cold voice."That's better." Astrid sat back on her chair and looked straight at him.He got up from where he sat, walked over to the side she was sitting, pulled out a chair beside her and sat down. She stared at him confused, questioning his behavior with her gaze."Don't just look at me, say something if you want to. I won't bite you if you do," Rowan said, then abruptly pulled her chair

He didn't bother to offer some to Rowan since he refused his tea. The General was petty when it came to little things like this. But only to others except his beloved wife, Astrid's cousin."I only granted your enrollment because my wife wanted it. She is the only reason why I am being of help to you. However, if you make things get out of hand, I will not hesitate to send you our of the base. Avoid the General Scott at all cost. I am not a fan of his.
