Chapter 21 I Feel Exhausted

• **POV: Ethan**
• “Emma, what is wrong? Why are you refusing to speak with me?” I asked her when I finally went in to see her. I drove down here after I left Serena at the restaurant. I was so pissed off at her that I had to leave her presence before I did something stupid.
• I’m so close to cutting her off and breaking whatever promise I made to her. I'm hanging on a very thin thread as it stands. I kept battling with the idea of abandoning both Emma and Serena, along with the promise I made to both girls after the death of their parents. I pinched the steering wheel in anger, cursing out loud as I recalled the way she had tried to sneak her hands into my shirt, trying to seduce me.
