"For poor people like us, our respect is everything."
The words echoed in his mind, fueling his anger. How dare she slap him? Every girl would do anything to win his favor, yet this cheap country girl had the nerve to reject his offer and humiliate him.
He grabbed an expensive bottle of liquor and hurled it against the wall. The crash shattered the silence, leaving broken glass scattered across the floor.
"I'll make you regret humiliating me, Amber," he muttered, his gaze fixed on the shattered bottle. "I'll make you realize that no one can challenge me and walk away unscathed. You think your pride can protect you? We'll see how long it lasts."
His eyes drifted toward the bed, and a cold smile spread across his face.
"I will, Amber. I will."
He made himself a promise. One day, he would make her face him again—not as the girl who had dared to defy him, but as someone who finally understood just how far he was willing to go.
