Blackmailing His Runaway Bride by Dance-is-me (carter reed .txt) 📗

"I am not getting married to you."

"You almost did six years ago."

"I was young and stupid then. I wasn't ready for marriage."

An amused took over his face. "Oh, but you were ready to let your father use you to settle his debts."

That fact had already buried some bruise in her heart, so when he said that statement, Isabella felt stabbed. Her hands clenched even more. "Why are you doing this?" she asked slowly as she struggled to keep a sane stance.

"Because it has to be done."

Isabella sighed and looked up at him as she pondered on a thing or two. She had no choice but to reconsider the second option she had discarded while she was still in the comfort of his car. "I will think about your offer."

"That is a reasonable response."

"Charles," her fiery look was back. "Keep it in mind that I am going to make you regret doing this to me."

"Oh no, darling." He countered her look with a stabbing gaze. "I am going to make you regret leaving me at the altar. And I will make you regret so bad." And he dropped his hold on her arms which she wasn't aware of and walked away without a word more.
