Chapter 84 He's Mad

• “Andre, don't let this just pass you by. Just give him a taste of his own medicine. I can clearly notice that seeing him again hurts you, I'm pretty sure that's exactly his intention," Loraine remarked. “Hit back, hard and only then will you see how that works out. These abusers often cannot handle the pain they inflict on others.”
• “What exactly do you mean? I don't want to see this man around me, I can't stand him." It comes from the bottom of my heart. Again, Dale is a thing of the past, I can't say it enough. “The problem you have is that you can't control it. He's going to keep appearing in front of you, pestering you until you explode," Loraine insists. “Prove him wrong. You and I, in love and we will also sit on the terrace. We are deeply happy together and having a good time. If he can mess with women and pretend to be fake gay, so can you.”
• Hmmmm, she has a point. I showed my hurt and Dale is probably having fun about that now. Her proposal is tempting, but I don't want to send the wrong signals to him. It's not that I care. But he'll keep going if I don't act, keep provoking me by coming here all the time. I think I have to accept Loraine's offer, but with the knowledge of Aziel. I don't want my new friend to feel like I took a chance on his most valuable asset after all. That could easily turn into a war between New York and Barbados, I joke to myself.
