“Let go of me!” Eliana angrily shook off his hand.

Noticing she didn’t look well, Maurice pulled his hand away. “Alright, I won’t touch you. Please just calm down.”

Eliana began gasping for air. She felt dizzy. Her thoughts were all jumbled up. Gerald’s words were like a knife, tearing into the most fragile parts of her heart, causing her heartache.
