Chloe Simpson felt as if her entire world had been shattered in an instant, like being struck by thunder out of a clear sky. Every drop of blood in her body seemed to rush to her head all at once.
Meanwhile, Alexander Johnson's fist landed with a loud "bang" on the floor-to-ceiling window. The glass cracked under the force, and had it not been shatterproof, both he and Chloe would certainly have been injured.
"!"
Chloe stood there in stunned silence, waiting for Alexander's response.
She could hardly believe her ears.
What did he mean he had been searching for her for years? Waiting for her for years?
As for Alexander, the pain and numbness from his fist jolted him back to clarity after that punch.
His eyes darkened as he glanced at Chloe. Without another word, he turned and walked away.
Chloe could only watch as Alexander walked out, his earlier words still ringing in her ears.
He said she was trying to drive him to his death?
