Georgia wrapped her arms around Alaric, pressing her cheek against his back. It felt like he could feel her breath through the fabric, a gentle whisper against his skin.

A wave of repulsion surged deep within Alaric, and he shrugged her off, spinning around with a scowl. "Georgia, I've made myself crystal clear. I will never marry you in this lifetime! You're just wasting your time on me!"

His gaze was firm, laced with disdain.

"I'm telling you to move on for your own good! Don't tell me you don't understand!" Alaric's tone was icy.

Marrying a man who neither loved her nor could stand her tantrums would never bring her happiness.
