CHAPTER 175
~Valerie's POV~
Valerie scoffed. "If you had the decency to do it yourself, then maybe your thought would have counted."
"Oh if I did, would you have accepted them?" Kieran smirked.
"No. You will save me the sweat of catching up with you and I would have rejected you right on the spot."
Valerie did not wait for more of his speech and immediately turned to leave, but Kieran was not having the disgrace or rejection.
He grabbed her wrist too fast and firmly.
My heart clenched at the sight. If only he'd ever fight for me… he wouldn't need to fight nor be insulted, nor would anyone assault him.
The moment Valerie's hand tried to jerk away, he twisted her around, caging her against the wall with his body.
The flowers hit the floor and I froze in fear of what he could and would do.
Kieran leaned in, his voice a soft purr. "You really should be careful, Valerie. You might make me think you like playing hard to get."
