He grabbed his srf and tugged him toward him, draggg him outsi the room where a few passers-by were. His voice wasn’t at all threateng. For the first time, Elizabeth saw his face—a dark one, to say the least. Tensn radiated om his featur, om the lean le of his mouth, nose, ey, and brow.</p><p>She wonred what those ey saw. She wasn’t sure she would believe them if she saw them. All she was certa about was his ey were clear and foced. Workg wh him for years, she knew wasn’t the typil strsed Ala she saw.</p><p>“I’m sorry,” Valon replied.</p><p>Ala sffed and then ma a sound that was halfway between a gnt and a dry lgh. “I don’t need your apology. I need my brother back.”</p><p>Valon shook his head. “I n’t give you that.”</p><p>Ala shot him a sharp look and cid to release him om his grip. “I’ll never five you for what you’ve done to my fay and for g everyone I love for your gas. If somethg happens to my dad, I’ll kill you.”</p><p>“How dare you—” Agatha poted fgers at him, ready to jump , only to step back when she saw Elizabeth stridg his directn. Then, she heard a loud smack.</p><p>Elizabeth slapped Ala so hard that her hand bised his face. “Stop , Ala!” She glared wh her fists curled.</p><p>“Why are you fendg this man, Liz?” Ala sputtered.</p><p>“Hontly, if this isn’t about the De Laras, I would have left.”</p><p>“Why would you want to leave the foundatn, Liz? The kids need you.”</p><p>“But we both know your fay don’t need me. I’m done, Ala. I’m exhsted.”</p><p>“Please, Liz. Don’t leave.”</p><p>Elizabeth yanked her hand and eed herself om his grip.</p><p>“It’s his flt. He’s rponsible for all of this. If he were—”</p><p>“What?” Elizabeth terpted. “If he weren’t gay, you wouldn’t have to face this problem. Isn’t that what you’re sayg?”</p><p>“How e didn’t affect you? Clay left you bee of this man!”</p><p>Elizabeth’s tears started to build around her ey. “For sure. I was hurt. I cried a lot. I suffered. But I still wouldn’t like holdg him back.”</p><p>“Even if means leavg you for that man while you face huiatn like this? That don’t sound right to me, Liz,” Ala sputtered.</p><p>“Y. But I don’t feel shameful.”</p><p>“No. Way.” Ala shook his head. “He wouldn’t have done this to you whout meetg him. He needs to learn a lson.”</p><p>“You saw the patg. Did you?” Elizabeth asked.</p><p>“What patg are you talkg about?” Agatha asked wh her brows furrowed. But when she saw the look on her brother’s face, she realized she had missed somethg. She sffed and crossed her arms while shakg her head disbelief. She was gobsmacked.</p><p>“I said did you see the patg?” Elizabeth mand.</p><p>“Y.” Ala nodd as if somethg had bee clearer to him. “So, you knew all about this all along? Why didn’t you say anythg?”</p><p>“Bee there’s no need to, Ala.”</p><p>“But Clay did somethg horrible to you. He huiated you wh his disgtg art!”</p><p>“Clay did nothg wrong here. He’s not gog crazy, Ala. It’s you! How dare you say somethg like that when you’re the one who needs a lson? Why are you dog this?”</p><p>“Bee I love you. I love my fay more than anythg else. But after all that I’ve done, I haven’t done far enough.” Ala screamed.</p><p>“Stay away. I don’t need your love.” She psed and shot him a long look. Her ey burned, her cht swelled wh rage. She uldn’t handle beg silent, beg a damsel distrs anymore. She wanted to fight back, take the stand, and let people know who she was. She clenched her fists, prsg her lips together as if she was preparg herself to speak om her gut. She knew she had no way to stop this. If there was one wish she hoped to see to un, she wished she won’t blow up.</p><p>Yet, she found herself here. What should she do? What else uld she say? God. She knew she had a lot of thgs to tell Ala. Knowg she had no way back, she knew this was the moment she’d been wag for. She was a landme, wag for someone to step to her.</p><p>And then, he did.</p><p>“You sound like my parents. You don’t really re about how I feel. Bee if you do, you won’t do this. You would never hurt Valon bee you know would hurt your brother. And when Clay’s hurt, you’re hurtg me, too. But this? Is this what you ll love?” She psed aga to swallow the ravagg emotns si her, tryg to keep her posure tact. “You don’t know how to love, Ala. Why? Bee you are only ncerned wh how thgs make you look and how helpful others are to you. And that’s who you tly are. Everythg you do is purely transactnal, purely bs. So, stop tellg yourself you’re love wh me bee you aren’t.” She expelled a sound off her cht before she turned her back on him. She didn’t wa for Ala to speak nor spare him the time to thk.</p><p>Even though she felt unfortable, she walked stris Valon’s directn wh her hand at Agatha’s back. “Let’s go,” she announced a sperate voice. She uldn’t wa until she’d left and felt the air ls closed.</p><p>But ep down si her, she felt great. Bee, for the first time, she felt powerful. Damn. She had no ia standg up for herself felt this good.</p><p>Then, they drove off.</p><div><hr /></div><h2 class="hear-wh-anchor-widget">Please support my work!<div id="§please-support-my-work" class="hear-anchor-widget offset-top"><div class="hear-anchor-widget-button-ntaer"><div href=" class="hear-anchor-widget-button"><svg xmlns=" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-lep="round" stroke-lejo="round" class="hear-anchor-widget-in"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></div></div></div></h2><ol><li><p><strong><a href=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Get a py</a></strong><a href=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"> of “The Rival” Uncensored</a><span> Gay Romance Novel.</span></p></li><li><p><strong><a href=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Check out my upg book,</a></strong><a href=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"> “Non-Native Speakers Only.”</a><span> An excellent rource for all wrers.
