Capítulo 281: Unloving Boyfriend

"Listen, Diana, I'm asking you one more time. If you're into him, I can give you a chance to have a shot at him." His false proposition hung in the air, forcing her to meet his gaze, her tear-filled eyes shimmered with a mix of fear and determination. She raised her chin defiantly, refusing to let her weakness overtake her.

"I've already told you my answer, Cole, and I still stand by it. It's only you that I have feelings for," She declared. This time, her voice held conviction. Her hand pressed against her chest, as if physically reinforcing her words with the weight of her emotions.

Cole's eyes gleamed with a wicked amusement, a sadistic grin etching its way across his face.

"Come here, munchkin," He beckoned her closer with a whispered command, his arms opening wide in a deceptive gesture of embrace.

She took hesitant steps toward him, her arms hanging limply by her sides, almost like pikes swinging from a delicate suspension.
