Chapter 1 continued...

I hated fighting
with Jade, but as she’d said, I was stubborn. The problem was she was just as
pigheaded as I was when she thought she was right. “It’s the truth.”
“No. It isn’t.
That’s not how it works.”
“How would you
know?” I lowered my voice an octave. “He’s screwed up, Jade. The things he
likes to do to women . . . I can’t let him do that to Anna. I
can’t.”
“And if it’s what
she wants?”
“It’s not.”
She took a step
toward me. “If it is?”
“Jade . . .”
Before I could say
thing more, she was standing directly in front of me, her nose just inches away
from mine. “If you want to be Anna’s friend—a true friend—you will want her to
be happy.” I opened my mouth to speak, but she placed her hand against my lips,
silencing me. “Stephan Coleman makes her happy. You need to accept that and
deal with it. Stop thinking about yourself for once and think about Anna. The
man she loves is having his life dragged through the mud right now because of
her. Think about how you would feel if something happened to me and you
couldn’t do anything to stop it or help me.”
She raised her
eyebrow, questioning. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, she had a point. If
Jade were in trouble and I wasn’t allowed to help her, I would probably slowly
drive myself crazy.
