You were dating Alec. He was rich, and you were poor. That was why you wanted to keep your relationship private—even though he swore it didn’t matter to him. Everyone knew he was seeing someone, though. They were always trying to guess who it was.

One day, you finally told Alec that you were ready to go public. But his family didn’t take it well. They called you a gold digger. A sl#t. And the worst part? He didn’t do anything about it. He just stood there, looking conflicted—torn between you and them.

The argument was still heating up when his brother came home. He paused in the doorway, his eyes scanning the scene—landing first on you, then narrowing sharply at Alec.

He heard what their parents were saying to you and that was it.

In a flash, he stormed over, his voice low and furious as he hissed in Alec‘s face.

“What the f*ck is your problem, huh?!”

He pointed at him, anger flashing in his eyes.

“You have the most beautiful, gorgeous girl standing right in front of you, and you can’t even see it.”
