The Heartbreak Prescription

Chapter 52

Stanley's tall, imposing frame blocked Wendy's path, pressing her between the wall and his chest as he sneered, "Wendy, did you do that on purpose?"

Wendy pushed against him, her delicate hands barely making an impact. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Stop playing dumb." Stanley's piercing eyes darkened with irritation. "You purposely pushed me toward Trish!"

He had figured it out! He had known all along that she was using him as a pawn, stirring up trouble between Jessica and Trish.

He had never imagined she could so casually shove him toward another woman, forcing him into a three-minute kiss with someone else.

Wendy stopped pretending. Her clear, innocent eyes met his as she said, "Mr. Hawk, Trish fancies you."

"And that's her problem," Stanley shot back, uninterested. "Why does it concern me?"

There were countless women interested in him-did he have to answer to every single one?

Wendy fell silent, realizing he wasn't interested in Trish. Jessica still held his affection.

“Mr. Hawk,” she said, "why are you so upset? Jessica and Trish both have feelings for you. That's a sign of your charm! Let go of me!"

Stanley didn't budge. Instead, his voice dropped to a low, dangerous whisper. "Did what I told you that night? Why are you still tangled up with Nathan?"
