“Yes!” he shot back without hesitation, his confidence only fueling my anger. "Briana feels awful about what happened. She’s been begging me to keep apologizing on her behalf. She’s 'genuinely' sorry, Daphne. And you’re making her worry sick over this.”
I couldn’t believe it. This guy always found the perfect words to make my blood boil.
How could he stand there and defend her after everything they put me through?
“You know what?” I stepped closer, my voice low and venomous. “I’m done.”
Jasper blinked, the confidence slipping from his face as confusion took its place. “What are you talking about?”
I met his eyes, my chest burning with the finality of my decision. “I’m rejecting you, Jasper.”
His expression morphed into shock, his voice rising with panic. “What?”
I smirked, relishing the disbelief etched across his face. “You heard me. I, Daphne Stone, reject—"
Before I could finish the rite, Jasper’s hand clamped over my mouth, his eyes blazing with fury. He looked ready to explode.
“What the hell were you thinking?” he snarled, his grip tightening. “You’d break our bond out of pettiness? Why are you always so childish?”
