Chapter 92 

Stewart strode straight over, blocking Briony’s path

She stopped and slowly lifted her gaze to meet his. Her eyes were empty, drained of any trace of emotion

He looked at her, a strange, sharp ache twisting in his chest. I’ll get a search team organized-” 

Crack

A sharp slap cut him off midsentence

Stewart’s head snapped to the side. For a stunned moment, he just stood there, brows pinched in confusion before he finally turned to look at Briony

Her handstill trembling from the blowfell limply to her side. She tried to clench her fist, but her fingers shook uncontrollably. She’d put everything she had into that slap, and now she had nothing left

But she refused to let Stewart see her weakness. She glared at him coldly. Get out of my way.” 

Stewart’s expression darkened

Cedric Clarke hurried over, grabbing Stewart by the arm and pulling him aside. Let it go, man. She’s not herself right nowyou’re only making things worse.” 

Stewart pressed his lips into a thin line, his dark eyes stormy and unreadable

He was used to being in control. For the first time, he found himself utterly powerless

She’d slapped himand yes, he was angry. But when he met the burning resentment in Briony’s eyes, he was left adrift, at a loss for what to do

Briony didn’t spare him another glance. She turned and walked toward her car, her figure looking heartbreakingly slight against the biting winter wind

Stewart swallowed hard, fighting through the pain that gripped his chest. Almost without thinking, he reached out and caught her by the wrist

Briony froze, but didn’t look back

Let go,she said. Her voice was hoarse and lifeless, carried away by the wind, leaving only a lingering ache 

behind

Still, Stewart refused to release her. He stared at the way she hung her head, his emotions swirling, but his lips remained tightly sealed

Cedric was nearly frantic. If you want to apologize, just say it!” 

Stella hurried to Briony’s side, shooting Stewart a furious glare. Are you trying to drive her mad? Let her go

Stewart!” 

Stewart’s eyes never left Briony. His lips parted, but for a long moment, no sound came. Finally, he managed just two words, low and solemn: I’m sorry.” 

But right now, those words felt hollow

Cedric and Stella fell silent

Briony still didn’t turn around. She couldn’t bear to look at him again

Stewart, I won’t say it again. Let go of me.” 

His jaw clenched, but he didn’t move

He thought maybe he’d lost his mindstill desperate, in this moment, for Briony to turn and look at him

Even if it was only to glare at him with all the hatred she had

Chapter 92 

He couldn’t stand being ignored by her

The intensity of his own feelings left him reeling, lost. He didn’t even know what he wantedwhat would possibly make this right

They stood there, locked in a silent standoff, neither willing to yield

Cedric was about to intervene when suddenly Briony spun around

She lifted her chin, her icy stare pinning Stewart in place. What do you want from me, Stewart?” 

He swallowed hard, unable to find an answer

She studied his facethe face she’d loved for five long years, as familiar to her as her own

It was as if she couldn’t make sense of any of it. She frowned slightly. Is this what you want? Do you need me on my knees, begging, before you’ll let me go?” 

Stewart was stunned, about to speak, but Briony shoved him backhard

He stumbled several steps, her slender arm slipping from his grasp

His palm was suddenly empty, and a wave of panic crashed over him

Briony’s eyes were bloodshot, burning with fury. I hate you, Stewart!”
