A Love That Was Never Mine
“Henry, I was out of my mind back then, I swear! It was never intentional… For all these years, haven’t I been living a quiet life with Bear, never causing any trouble?”
Henry’s anger flared.
He yanked his arm free from her grip and snapped, “Quietly? Issa, do you really think no one knows about the messages you’ve been sending to provoke Zoe? Or that I couldn’t find out about the drugs you bought back then? Was it really a mistake, or have you been planning this for a long time?”
My parents came out when they heard the commotion, looking tired and fed up.
“Issa, it’s time for you to leave,” my dad said sternly. “Don’t ever come back. And stop calling yourself part of this family.”
