âPlease! Harlan!â Panic surged through Brylee as she appealed to her parents for support.
âDad, Mom, you have to help me!â
Brylee was their only child.
Despite their embarrassment, they attempted to sway Harlan.
âHarlan, Brylee has made a grave mistake, but sheâs realized her mistake.
Please forgive her this once.
Sheâs our only child.
Our fortune will be yours when we pass.
â
Bryleeâs father tried to entice Harlan with their wealth.
Harlan met their gaze, stating, âIâm sorry, but I canât spend my life with someone as vindictive and petty as Brylee.
I fear she might kill me in my sleep if she doesnât approve of something Iâve done.
â
There was such news.
His fear was palpable.
Harlan sidestepped them, making his way to his mother.
âMom, letâs Leave.
â
âDonât walk away, Harlan.
Are you going to Rosalynn? Sheâs surrounded by men, and she has no interest in you.
Donât delude yourself!â Brylee yelled, intending to follow him.
Bryleeâs mother, her eyes reddened, caught her arm.
âEnough, Brylee.
Donât humiliate yourself any further!â
âNo.
I wonât leave Harlan!â Bryleeâs cries echoed in the room, fury burning in her eyes.
âRosalynn, I wonât spare you!â
Barlow drove Rosalynn back to her place.
âAre you hungry? Would you like to grab a bite before heading in?â
Barlow asked.
âNo, Iâll eat something at home,â Rosalynn replied.

Barlow intended to tease her further, but upon seeing her pale face, he thought better of it.
As they pulled into her apartment complex, Barlow asked, âAre you sure youâre okay?â
âIâm fine.
Thank you so much for today,â Rosalynn expressed sincerely, glancing at him.
If Barlow and Brian werenât brothers and if there wasnât any animosity between them, she might have considered him a good friend.
âRemember my good deeds.
Iâll call in the favor one day,â Barlow responded in a cynical tone.
Rosalynn remained silent.
She exited the car and made her way into the building.
