Chapter 31: Playing With Flame

Tyler's POV

I was speechless when I saw Ara wearing the gown I bought in one of the boutiques in the most popular mall on the mainland. Her simple make-up enhances her natural beauty, and I know I looked like an idiot as I kept on stealing glances at her after I drove away from her home. Arabella looked stunning, and I felt so proud she was mine, and I know I don't have the right to call her mine, but no one will know I am claiming her as my own.

I felt so angry after I learned that Matthew had kissed her, and I couldn't deny the jealousy I felt, and I wondered if I was going to protect her by falling for her. I promised Arabella to help her mend her broken heart and not fall in love with her, but I couldn't deny it anymore. Even if I could tell I was still broken-hearted because of Emily, the attraction I had toward Ara felt so strong.
