She stared at me like I’d grown a second head. “But you’re crazy about Dylan. You used to do anything for him.”
‘Remember when Dylan wanted to break up with you that one time? You were on your knees outside my house for
three hours.”
‘Dylan’s just giving Mia some legitimacy here–it doesn’t mean anything. Why are you being so difficult?”
Hearing her bring up my past mistakes made my stomach turn.
God, I used to be so pathetic.
I was supposed to be the rich girl in this relationship, but I let Dylan walk all over me. I was always worried about naking him happy, terrified he’d leave me.
Dylan figured out exactly how to manipulate me–constantly putting me down, threatening to break up with me. The more he did it, the more desperate I became.
That’s probably why he thought he could just marry Mia without consequences. He figured he had me completely
under his thumb.
I’d never been in a real relationship before. I thought loving someone meant making them happy no matter what.
I never realized that loving someone should make you happy too.
I smiled at Dylan’s mom. “The past is the past. This is now.”
‘If I don’t get a satisfactory response today, I’m calling the cops.”
[opened the door and walked out.
Dylan’s mom followed me, her voice turning nasty. “Emma, you better think about the consequences.”
‘Everyone here saw you acting like a home–wrecker today.”
“Whether it’s true or not, your reputation is trashed.”
“When you come crawling back begging Dylan to marry you, we might not even want you anymore.”
I snapped back, “Don’t worry about me–I’m already married.”
I picked up my phone from the ground, ready to call 911 again.
But Dylan grabbed me.
